Challoner Club
View on Wikipedia
The Challoner Club is a London-based private members' club for Roman Catholics. It was founded as a gentlemen's club in 1949 and closed in 1997.[1][2] It took its name from Richard Challoner (1691–1781), who served as Catholic Vicar Apostolic of the London District for much of the 18th century. In 2025, the club reopened as a private members' social club.[3][4]
Key Information
The original club was based at 59 Pont Street in Knightsbridge, and hosted the library of the Irish Genealogical Research Society.[5]
In 2025, the club was re-established as a private members' social club, with no permanent location, by a group of Catholic laity assisted by a priest of the Archdiocese of Westminster.[3][4]
