The Carlton Club Review

A very old conservative club with lots of history behind it .

The Carlton Club is one of the most pretigious and elegant private clubs in the world. An amazing beauty.

Good old British Club.
Enjoyed the traditional afternoon tea and drinks

Wouldn't let me in because I had jeans on. Fair enough because it was against the rules but I didn't know.

Outstanding and historic club, food could be better, but the decor is splendid.

Fun place if you can get a table. Loads of history there.

The history of UK.

Member only!
Very tight address code!
No hand phone allowed!
No photo allowed!

The wine, steak and fish are extremly good. The pear salad is very unique. The source of steak is just right for steak. It is first time to have such steak source in my life.

Have food with UK history is wonderful experience.

A modern place keeping up with the stuffy old traditions. Well done staff, you go over and beyond ... George, you are passionately all about guest satisfaction !

Interesting evening for one old punk and anarchist. They'd be rolling in their graves...

Great historic building, staff are very friendly, no public access though

Loved it! Impeccable service. Excellent wine list... Great value indeed.

An historical members only club that i have passed by many a time and finally got to go in and view the great architecture and artwork within.

Love welcoming atmosphere at this traditional London club

A historic building with impressive architecture, art and furniture

Carlton , my first choise !!!!
The Carlton was founded by Conservative Party peers, MPs and gentlemen in 1832, and as such, is yet another gentlemen s club with a conservative political alignment.

The club was founded in at a time contiguous to the Reform Club, as Conservative Party members felt the need to establish a meeting place to plan their counter attack following the passing of the first Reform Act

. The club derives its name from its original premises at Carlton Terrace but was moved, ironically, to be situated next to the Reform Club in Pall Mall after its membership outgrew the building.

The Carlton s venerated membership wasn t enough to protect it from the Luftwaffe during the Blitz of the Second World War, after which it was moved to its current resting place at 69 St. James s Street. Until her death, Lady Margaret Thatcher was the only female member of the club with full membership having been made an honorary member in 1975.

One of the best gentleman club experiences I ve had in a long time. Very clean (yet dirty where it s needed ). Great time and good fun. The girls are very welcoming and show little outward signs of trauma.

The best vol au vents in London. Great pint of bitter too.

I visited the Carlton Club as a guest of Marie Curie after taking part in the 2016 Ride London cycle event. The wearing of Lycra in bright colours wouldn't normally accord with the club's strict dress code, but given that this was a charity event, this was overlooked.
I was given access to a single room to shower and change, before taking a massage and then lunch in the Morning Room.
A stunning looking building inside and well worth a visit if you get the opportunity!

Had drinks & a lovely dinner with a small group of American bigwigs. The PM was at the next table over. A very convivial evening all round.

This wonderful building is the headquarters of the Conservative Party located in St James's in the heart of London. The building comprises beautiful rooms and the member's bar. If you are lucky to get invited inside make sure you visit the Cabinet Room in the basement where you will be under the watchful gaze of all the Conservative Prime ministers through the history.

Afternoon tea under the watchful gaze of Thatcher and Churchill

Decent club food, club wines are very good and the atmosphere is suitably grand and better maintained than the average London club. Members only though.

Smart place - big portrait of David Cameron in lobby. Food mediocre, though

Upon entering the lobby, the acrid taste of hatred and greed assaulted my senses. I was left choking on the fumes, of corruption and ignorance.

friendly helpful staff and a lovely environment to meet old friends and make new ones

For all your tech needs we now have electric Van's servicing central. Audio, EPoS, Wifi, Samsung TV,s. Projectors. Any tech services.

Looking forward to my return fantastic service ( food etc service sirbind

A traditional gentleman's club. Cosy and intimate with remarkably good food. Members only but if you are invited as a guest, accept.

Owners club for drivers of the much missed Vauxhall Carlton. A bit cliquey - if they don't know you they try to palm you off at the door with a cover story about being an elite dining club or something. But once you're in it's great: big tables with boxes of spare parts for sale or swap, mainly original Vauxhall. And always a few other Carlton enthusiasts knocking about, happy to share photos of their mods and restorations.

Amazing place with pictures of conservative prime ministers on the walls along with Queen Victoria. Great food and service

Too small portion for their lamb and rib eye steak, the staffs was very helpful

Beautiful surroundings with an exemplary staff. A truly excellent private members club.

Food and service are impeccable. Dammika is a total babe and it's worth visiting just to see him - a very wise man.

We had the opportunity to go here as guests and it was absolutely stunning. The building and the catered food was exceptional.

A home of modern politics, what a privilege to have visited this Club again. Remember to wear formal clothes (gentlemen, jacket and tie, please). A slice of history. Proud to be British!

A smart London club to be invited to to attend any function.

Beautiful club. Food good but could be better. Excellent service

Having been a member for a number of years, I could not do without the Carlton Club or it's marvelous staff. My home away from home.

Posh conservative club. Served a nice Club Sandwich but quite pricey.

Excellent evening, first class service, wines and mighty food for those of traditional disposition. Best bearnaise known to man. In this case woman. The iconic high winged armchairs are very much in abundance, ready for those who have a plot or overthrow to discuss.
