Reciprocal Club of the Month

The Royal Automobile Club - Pall Mall – London

Founded in 1897, today the Royal Automobile Club is one of London’s finest private members’ clubs combining over 100 years of luxury and traadition with exceptional facilities and outstanding service.

The Club’s early years were focussed on campaigning for the rights of the private motorist, and its distinguished history mirrors that of motoring itself. In 1907, King Edward VII awarded the club the Royal title that it still holds to this day and the Club’s status was sealed as Britains oldest and most influential motoring organisation.

In 1999 the Club began operating as a private members’ club, adding contemporary facilities and modernising and refurbishing both club houses for the benefit of its growing membership.  

Members enjoy unlimited access to two superb clubhouses; the Pall Mall Clubhouse in the very heart of London contains a unique range of accommodation, dining and sporting facilities, including what is argueably the finest swimming pool in London with its marble columns.

The Woodcote Park clubhouse is set in 350 acres of Surrey parkland, complete with two eighteen hole golf courses together with a variety of other sport facilities, dining and twenty-two individual bedrooms.

The Pall Mall clubhouse offers a comfortable environment in which members and guests can relax. Those visiting London value the one hundred and six well positioned bedrooms, along with a choice of restaurants, lounges and bars, ranging from the opulence of the Great Gallery to the Art Deco chic of the Brooklands Room – an all day Brasserie. In addition to the swimming pool the sports facilities offer a modern gym, stunning Turkish Baths, squash courts and treatment rooms. 

Today the Royal Automobile Club continues to prosper with its diverse membership drawn from all four corners of the globe and a warm welcome is extended to all reciprocal club members visiting London and the South West.
