Located on Whitehall Place in Westminster, London, this iconic establishment was constructed between 1884 and 1887 under the skilled guidance of architect Alfred Waterhouse. The image showcases the exquisite Smoking Room within the club's premises. The room exudes an air of sophistication and grandeur with its ornate furnishings and intricate detailing. From the luxurious velvet armchairs to the beautifully carved wooden paneling adorning the walls, every element speaks volumes about Victorian elegance. Photographed by Bedford Lemere and Company in December 1887, this stunning visual representation captures not only a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to architectural brilliance. The play of light and shadow adds depth to each corner of this magnificent space, enhancing its allure.
