City University Club

The City University Club is a London gentlemen's club, established in 1895. Since its foundation, it has operated from the top three floors of 50 Cornhill, in the original building of Prescott's bank, a 1766 private bank now part of the Royal Bank of Scotland.

It was originally founded strictly for graduates of Oxford and Cambridge universities who worked in the City of London, but membership is now open to those who work in the City. It provides club facilities at lunchtime, and for private occasions. The club serves as a lunch club for "brokers, bankers and lawyers". [1]

Subscriptions are based on your age and location. The rates for 2011 range from £215 to £915, including VAT. New members joining during the year are charged pro rata, except for those under 25, who are entitled to six months free membership (this precludes usage of reciprocal clubs). Unlike many clubs there is no entrance fee. [2].
