Geschiedenis
The Gresham Club was formed on 6 March 1843 as a dining club for the professional classes of the City of London ('merchants, bankers and other gentlemen of known respectability') after the closure of the City of London Commercial Club in February 1843.The Gresham Club acquired the lease of a property on the corner of Lombard Street and St Swithin's Lane, which opened in October 1844. The Club remained at this site until August 1915, when it moved to a plot on Abchurch Lane (Nos 15-17) then owned by the City Parochial Foundation.
