Historique
Arthur's Club, a social club for gentlemen, was founded in 1811, and originated in Arthur's Chocolate House, a club in St James's Street. The hall of the club had a portrait of courtesan Kitty Fisher, who by tradition had been kept for a time by a fund to which all the club members subscribed. Arthur's is now closed.
