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:
A small 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.

Car parking

The congestion charge period is 7am–6pm, Monday to Friday. Please refer to www.tfl.gov.uk for further information.
During weekdays, visitor parking is highly restricted. After 6.30 on weekdays, after 1.30 on Saturdays and all day on Sundays cars can be parked on single yellow lines in Tite Street, in other nearby streets and on the Embankment.

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.
