The Club
St. James’s Club has a long and distinguished history. It was in 1857 that English aristocrat Earl Granville and Marchese d’Azeglio, a Sardinian Minister, opened the Club for travelling diplomats in St. James’s Street and it quickly attracted an international clientele including Lord Randolph Churchill and Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild.
As the Club grew, it moved into different premises until it finally found its home in the beautiful Victorian building that is 7/8 Park Place. It quickly became popular as a place for good food, good wine and great parties, usually hosted by someone from the film world. With the Club committee chaired by Sir John Mills and members that included Liza Minelli, Dudley Moore, Peter Townshend, Sir Michael Caine, Sir Sean Connery, Tim Rice, Michael Parkinson and Lord Attenborough and visits by Sir Elton John as well as Tom Selleck and Christopher Reeve, it is not surprising that it became known as one of London’s most popular Clubs.
Today’s St. James’s continues the traditions established by their predecessors and today’s celebrities are no less impressed with Samuel L. Jackson, Cher, Luke Wilson, Keith Richards, Alice Cooper, Elle Macpherson, Dita Von Teese, Colin Salmon, Damian Lewis, Helen McCrory, Michael Bolton, Jack Johnson, Katherine Jenkins and Claire Sweeney having visited the Club recently.
