Courses are held at the Lansdowne Club, 9 Fitzmaurice Place just off Berkeley Square. In 1763 Robert Adam designed the house for the Marquis of Bute, Prime Minister under George III, who then sold it in 1765 to Lord Shelburne, later the Marquis of Lansdowne. In 1783, the Treaty of Paris (which ended the American War of Independence) was drafted in the Round Room by Benjamin Franklin and Lord Shelburne, the Prime Minister. In 1935, the house was turned into a club after many areas had received an Art Deco makeover, which complimented the other 18th century interiors.
The Club is easily reached from Green Park and Hyde Park Corner tube stations. There is metered parking in surrounding streets and a National Car Park in nearby Trebeck Street. There is a lift to all floors and assistance from the porters is available with the small flight of stairs in the entrance lobby. Visitors may use the Club's bar and dining facilities for lunch after the lectures. The stunning Art Deco dining room offers both an à la carte and a very reasonable table d’hôte menu. Reservations are appreciated. Visitors are kindly requested to observe the Club's dress code: men should wear a jacket, ladies should dress smartly and jeans, denim and trainers (other than for reasons of health) are not permitted.
In addition, drinks may not be brought into the club. More informal dining may be found in AQUA, located on the Lower Ground Floor.
