A Brief History

​The first Gresham Club was established in 1843 as a dining club for the professional and business classes of the City of London. It was named after Sir Thomas Gresham, a celebrated merchant, who in 1566 founded The Royal Exchange and made a significant bequest to the Gresham College to promote the New Learning of Elizabethan times.

The City of London Gresham Club has recreated the raison d’être of its original predecessor: a private members' club for professionals, stimulating social and business interaction amongst like-minded members and their guests. The Club meets at least monthly for a Club Table as its centrepiece and convenes regular engaging and distinctive events.

Details of this month's Club Table can be found here.

​With a distinguished membership that values diversity and inclusiveness, the Club promotes a range of social and sporting functions and is establishing reciprocal agreements with other clubs and hopes to establish permanent City premises in due course.

​

We are currently a nomadic dining club which holds monthly Club Tables at a variety of prestige club and restaurant locations:

​

The Caledonian Club

House of Commons
The Army & Navy Club

Bleeding Heart

Royal Ocean Racing Club

Social Interaction

The Gresham Club keeps up with the times. We issue all of our members with a personalised Virtual Membership Card app which they install on their mobile devices. The app is a one-stop-shop to contact club officers, book events and purchase Gresham merchandise.

We have several informal WhatsApp groups for social interaction, business exchanges and golfing events.

​

We also hold regular Zoom meetings for those who cannot make it to London. This has proved invaluable to maintain contact during the lockdown with occasional guest speakers and even a murder mystery night!
