Building Conception

The idea was put forward by One of Queen Victoria’s handmaids and backed by the women in court and Queen Victoria herself, at a time when most members’ clubs catered only for men. The club’s premises were purpose-built and boasted two drawing rooms, a dining room, a lounge, a smoking gallery and a smoking room, a library, a writing room, a tape machine for news, a telephone, dressing rooms, a staircase decorated with stained glass windows depicting Shakespeare’s heroines, and one of London’s best orchestras.
