    About the Venue

    The Savile Club was founded in 1867 as a literary, academic and arts club for men of the newly-enlarged electorate.  Prominent Members of the Club include:
    Edward Fox, Stephen Fry, Thomas Hardy, Rudyard Kipling, Robert Louis Stevenson and W. B. Yeats.

    Aside from an impressive dining room, full bar and outside and roof terraces, the club has a large ballroom. Clubs don’t generally have Ballrooms.

    The Savile however delights in one of the most exquisite and unknown rooms in London. The huge Ballroom and its imperial staircase were unusually conceived as a single majestic sweep of space, uniting the ground and first floors. It was adorned with a light-hearted manifestation of the Louis XVI style, which had become so popular in the 1880’s.

    The room floods with daylight from tall windows at both ends and at night the venerable chandeliers, donated to his club by Sir William Orpen, glitter in the profusion of mirrors.

    More information available by visiting the Savile Club website.
