Society of Knights of the Round Table

The society was formed in 1720 at the Fountain Coffee House, the site of the former Savoy Palace on London's Strand.

[1] The society funds a prize in a surgical skills competition for the Royal College of Surgeons of England.

[3] As set out in a booklet of 1946:[citation needed] (a) The perpetuation of the Name and Fame of Arthur, King of Britain, and the Ideals for which he stood.

To ensure that the object at (a) is carried out in the true spirit, a Knight, well versed in the history of the immortal King Arthur, shall be charged with the duty of proposing the Toast of " King Arthur," and of recounting the exploits and good works of that Monarch, at every meeting of The Knights of the Round Table.

Election to the Council shall be either in recognition of work done for or on behalf of the Club and its ideals or to provide representatives of the younger Knights with an opportunity to express their opinions, and to qualify them to take an active part in the administration of the Club as members of the Executive Committee.

[4] The society's chapel is the church of St Martin, Ludgate in the City of London.
