In 1941, the Carlton Club's own clubhouse in Pall Mall was destroyed after a direct hit from a bomb during the Blitz, and the Carlton acquired the old Arthur's premises – somewhat ironic as it is one of the main parties of state, whereas the Arthur's membership was always of an avowedly non-political character.
The Carlton has since then made numerous internal modifications to the building, and none of the original furniture from Arthur's remains.
The memorial tablet listing those from Arthur's Club who died in World War I is now in nearby St. James's Church, Piccadilly.
