Steeped in over 150 years of tradition and Royal patronage, The Royal Kennel Club welcomes guests to its distinguished home on Clarges Street, Mayfair. Opened by Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal, our residence stands as a testament to timeless British hospitality, exquisite surroundings, and a heritage that traces back to 1873.
Within these walls, generations of dog lovers, patrons and honoured guests have enjoyed refined service, elegant dining, and the cultural treasures of our museum, art gallery and library. Today, the Club continues its legacy with an unwavering commitment to excellence.
