Founded in 1886
Our lectures take place at The University Women’s Club, 2 Audley Square, London W1K 1DB (near the Dorchester Hotel).
The Club was founded in 1886 by Gertrude Jackson of Girton College, Cambridge and settled in Audley Square in 1921. Designed and built by T. H. Wyatt in 1876 for Lord Arthur Russell, it is reputed to have been used by Dorothy L. Sayers in “The Story of the Haunted Policeman” as the model for ‘the Belchesters’ House’.
