About this space

Our impressive wood-panelled Library emulates the opulence of the library at the Travellers’ Club, from which it takes its inspiration. Situated at the top of the central staircase on the first floor, the Library evokes an antique, literati charm, offering a serene and decadent atmosphere, featuring well-stocked bookshelves, an intimate terrace, and a beautiful view across Park Lane to Hyde Park. Crystal chandeliers add to the elegance, enhancing the play of light across the rich green walls and antique parquet flooring.

The Library is a versatile, bright and airy space with antique elegance, perfect for a variety of events. It is a wonderful location for wedding ceremonies, conferences, seated dining and casual social gatherings with capacity to welcome up to 60 people – or more when combined with the Drawing Room. The space is also licensed for wedding ceremonies, offering an timeless setting for intimate and elegant events.

Beautiful space for our ideation session with external agency partners. Lukasz was great to work with and arranged everything for us, despite fluctuating numbers. The room is very impressive and equipped with presentation equipment and sound as needed.
The space was a little tight for 40 guests at round tables - we just about made it work!

Established in 1886 by the pioneers of education for women, the University Women’s Club is London’s longest-established women’s-only members' club. For nearly 140 years, the Club has provided a peaceful haven for members, striking the perfect balance of comfort, relaxation, and networking — creating an ideal environment for women to connect, recharge, and thrive.
Our graceful Grade-II listed townhouse in Mayfair offers a refined backdrop for memorable occasions — from intimate dinners and elegant receptions to conferences and private celebrations.

Each event space holds its own distinct style. The wood-panelled Library evokes an antique, literati elegance, providing a serene and decadent atmosphere with beautiful views across Park Lane to Hyde Park. The elegant Drawing Room retains its original opulent fireplace and features exquisite hand-painted Chinoiserie-style wall panels and a grand piano, creating both beauty and harmony.

Whether entertaining colleagues over cocktails and canapés or a carefully curated dinner with friends and family, the University Women’s Club offers a truly unique setting in the heart of London.
