This is a history of the only surviving 17th-century London club. The book presents a range of names and anecdotes against a backcloth of social and political history which sets the life of the club and its members in context. The story takes the reader back from the club of today with its television set in the billiard room, past the Homeric quarrels of Randolph Churchill and Evelyn Waugh, past the Battle of Britain pilots being recruited in the bar to the early days of London with its memories of Shakespeare.

On its first publication in 1979, Lejeun's The Gentlemen's Clubs of London rapidly established itself as a widely sought-after and quoted work around the world among those intrigued by and participating in the rarefied world of the famous clubs of London society. This is a new, thoroughly updated edition.This book lays forth the histories of the clubs, why and how each came into being, who belongs and belonged to which, how members are chosen, and how the clubs have changed down the generations - if indeed they have. This work tells of the ambience and grace of the clubs, their privacies and eccentricities, and of the yarns, disputes and scandals to which they have given rise. Here are new and archival photographs of the clubs' interiors, ranging from the elegant to the snug, premises which are sometimes secret and quirky and sometimes grand, each unique and fitting the character and contributing to the needs and lives of its members.
