Carlton Club, Private gentlemen's club in St James's, London
Carlton Club is a private institution for male members located on St James's Street in Westminster. Its interior holds wood-paneled rooms, open fireplaces, and oil paintings depicting key figures from Conservative Party history.
A group of Conservative politicians established the institution in 1832 as a gathering point for Tory Party members. It served for decades as a center for political decision-making before the party opened an official headquarters.
The club maintains a selective membership process where candidates need nomination from current members, reflecting long-standing British social club traditions.
The building remains closed to the public and offers no tours or viewing opportunities for those not holding membership. Its facade is visible from the street, but all activity takes place behind closed doors.
During World War II, a bomb destroyed the original clubhouse on Pall Mall completely. The institution moved after the war to its current address on St James's Street.
