The Arts Club

Private members club founded by, amongst others, Charles Dickens, Anthony Trollope, and Lord Leighton. "This Club is instituted for the purpose of facilitating the social intercourse of those connected with, or interested in Art, Literature or Science." It started in 17 Hanover Square and 1896 moved to the current premises in Dover Street.

1890-1 James Whistler left this club to found the Chelsea Arts Club.

The Dover Stret building was renovated and relaunched in 2011-12, the makes it look like a high-end hotel/restaurant.
