Hire Facilities

Studio Reception room

The rental area comprises a large and characterful reception room on the first floor of the premises. Rectangular in plan, the room is 34 ft 5 ins (10.5 m) long by 21 ft 10 ins (6.7 m) wide, with a 18 ft 9 ins (5.7 m) high coved ceiling. Large north-facing studio-type windows provide ample natural light.

A frieze of silhouettes of past and present members surrounds the room which features, amongst other curiosities, an original cell door from Newgate prison.

Bar

The Club bar, complete with painted pub sign entitled 'The Sketchers' Arms', connects with the room at one end. The adjoining stairwell features a full-height lamp post.

Cloakrooms

Ladies and gentlemen's lavatories are located on the ground floor. The long hallway doubles as a cloakroom.

Catering

We can arrange catering for you through a number of professional caterers who have been approved by the Club.

The Club has its own kitchen and those wishing to use their own caterers may do so, but you will be asked to pay a 10% commission as well as signing an agreement to take out insurance. We also charge corkage. A barman can usually be supplied.

Conditions

Dilke street is a residential area. Guests should be mindful of this fact by ensuring that noise is kept to the minimum when leaving the premises late at night.
