Built in 1763, the Lansdowne House became a Social Club in 1935. Today it is considered one of the most exclusive and traditional private clubs in London. Unlike its contemporaries, The Lansdowne Club admitted men and woman as equal members since its doors opened. Over the years the Council and the Club's staff have actively worked together to continually renovate and restore the Club, offering premium sports, dining and social facilities which meet its Members requirements. Members of the exclusive private members club still enjoy the fusion of 18th Century grandeur and elegant Art Deco features as well as the newly refurbished, multi-million pound Sports area with pool, steam room, 3 squash courts, fencing salle, treatment rooms and top-of-the-range Cardio and Free Weight areas and Exercise studio
