The Library at University Women's Club

Library in a Historic Building

Private space

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.

About University Women's Club

Located in Mayfair, moments away from Hyde Park, the University Women’s Club has offered itself to its members as a retreat from the stresses of London, serving well-sourced, delicious, and seasonal food alongside great coffee and delectable drinks within an elegant, secure space for over 100 years.

Our home in Audley Square was designed by TH Wyatt and built for Lord Arthur Russel in 1876 and was purchased by the members of the Russel Family in 1921.
