National Liberal Club

The National Liberal Club (NLC) is a historic private members' club in London, founded in 1882 by William Ewart Gladstone to support Liberal Party campaigners. Located on the Thames Embankment, its grand Italianate building, designed by Alfred Waterhouse, features a dining room, bar, library, and outdoor terrace. The club aims to provide an accessible meeting place for Liberals and has a rich history, including notable events like the Trafalgar Square riot of 1887. With a membership that has included influential political figures and intellectuals, the NLC remains a significant venue for political discourse and social gatherings.
