Reciprocal Club Review
The Winchester House Club London, England
By Valerie Davis
➳ The Winchester House Club in Putney, a southwestern district of London, is the newest addition to our outstanding list of Reciprocal Clubs. Established in 1892, the Club sits on a half-acre of land with a riverside lawn sweeping down to the River Thames, just a slight distance from the Putney bridge. They have a small membership of about 600 members. With a riverboat pier only 100 yards away from their garden door, The Winchester House Club is easily accessible from central London. On the front side, the London Tube goes to Putney via the District Line and the above ground rail is about five minutes away. The Club is open seven days a week, except for 10 days around Christmastime. Dining hours are Thursday and Friday from 6 to 9 p.m., Saturday and Sunday 12:30 to 9 p.m. The bar is open 7 days a week and they host barbecues in summer months. The Club also hosts a variety of sporting and dining events throughout the year, including the popular University Boat Race. For non-members looking for a
picturesque spot for weddings, corporate events and parties, this Club might be an ideal option. Like OCC, they don’t accept cash, but most major credit cards are accepted. Even though the dining hours are somewhatlimited, the Winchester House Club provides a serene, tranquilsetting for our members to spend a weekendafternoon and evening. The billiards table area also welcomes guests. Please check before visiting to see what special event might be on the calendar. You can request a letter of introduction from JoAnne Huber in the Executive Oce.
