Minervium Club

The Minervium is a private members' Club in London, founded in 1824. It was originally a Gentlemen's Club, but after the coronation of Queen Victoria in 1837 and the passing of the Equality Laws the Club opened its doors to female members. The clubhouse is located along Pall Mall, at the corner of Waterloo Place. It was designed by Decimus Burton in the neo-classical style with a Doric portico, above which is statue of the classical Goddess of Wisdom, Minerva. The Club's facilities include an extensive library, a dining room and several bedroom suites.
