Bachelors' Club

The Bachelors' Club was a London gentlemen's club in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, now defunct.

[1] A persistent rumour circulated throughout its existence, and reached wider circulation in the 1920s,[citation needed] that some of its membership were gay - then both illegal and publicly frowned upon – and it soon became superseded by Buck's as the young man's club in London, being forced to close shortly thereafter.

The club was first situated at 11 Hamilton Place, then at 8 South Audley Street, and finally it amalgamated with the St. James's Club in 1946 at 106 Piccadilly.

Famous members included John Buchan, Field Marshal Sir Herbert Kitchener, and Capt.

Berkeley Levett, a witness in the Royal Baccarat Scandal.
