It is enviably located next door to the Mansion House, NM Rothschild and Bloomberg's European HQ. After a good lunch at the Connaught Hotel in 1997 between Lord Peter Palumbo and his old friend Mark Birley, founder of the original Annabel’s, Harry’s Bar and Mark’s Club, the idea of creating The Walbrook Club was born. We opened in 2000, with Albert Roux running the kitchens. The Club’s style is that of an elegant private home. There is the Bar, Dining Room and two private rooms. Members have access to monthly guest speakers where past and present heads of state, leading politicians, captains of industry and cultural icons speak. The Chatham House Rule strictly applies. The annual Fine Wine Dinner has seen the proprietor of prestigious chateaux, such as d'Yquem, Margaux, Vieux Château Certan, Haut-Brion, Lafite and Mouton-Rothschild, amongst many others, present their vintages over a delicious dinner. The Shooting Syndicate shoot clay and game and the Backgammon, Cards & Chess Evenings in the Bar are popular. The Club also organises an annual Women's Lunch Forum to promote women in the City. The under-35s host a dinner every two months, the Bond Court Dinner, which are designed to introduce friends of old and new. Members may also make use of the Club's extensive network of both national and international reciprocal clubs. Membership is open equally to men and women. The Walbrook is open from 8:00am for breakfast, lunch and dinner until late, as well as throughout the day, from Monday to Friday. Weekends are by special arrangement.
