The London Sketch Club is a private members' club for artists working in the field of commercial graphic art, mainly for newspapers, periodicals, and books.
The club was founded in 1898 by a breakaway group of members from the Langham Sketching Club, following a disagreement over whether to have hot or cold suppers after an evening's drawing.
The founding members were Dudley Hardy, Phil May, Cecil Aldin, Walter Churcher, and Tom Browne.
A joint exhibition with the Langham Sketching Club was held at the Mall Galleries in 1976.
