Set in the heart of Mayfair, the University Women’s Club offers an elegant and characterful setting for private events, from breakfast meetings and working lunches to drinks receptions, celebrations and formal dinners. The Club’s rooms combine a sense of history with the flexibility needed for contemporary entertaining, while the events team works closely with organisers to tailor arrangements around each occasion.
At the top of the central staircase, the Library is the Club’s most loved room, with space for up to 60 standing guests. Inspired by the library at the Travellers’ Club, it has the feel of a grand private residence, with rich green wood-panelled walls, antique parquet flooring, crystal chandeliers and floor-to-ceiling bookshelves. Large windows offer views across Park Lane to Hyde Park, while guests can also step out onto the intimate first-floor terrace.
Also accommodating up to 60 standing guests, the Drawing Room continues the tradition of sociable gatherings associated with the former residents of 2 Audley Square, the Russell Ladies. The room takes cues from their celebrated Drawing Room gatherings, which contemporaries described as among the finest evenings in London.
For dining-led occasions, the University Women’s Club's ground-floor Dining Room, which sits at the heart of the Club, opens directly onto the terraced garden through French windows, offering a pleasant backdrop throughout the year. The kitchen offers fresh, seasonal cooking, from the Club’s well-known salads and considered a la carte menu to an all-day selection and working lunch options.
Food can be tailored to your event, whether that's private dining with table service, a buffet or a family-style dining. As a guide, dishes might include roasted Atlantic salmon with herb hollandaise, Mediterranean-style chicken, roasted sea bass with fragrant ginger rice or butternut squash risotto. Canapes, bowl food, afternoon tea, breakfast and drinks packages are also available, with dietary requirements accommodated across the menus.
