Denbigh Conservative Club
Image: © Eirian Evans Taken: 5 Mar 2018
Prominently sited on a narrow triangular corner plot between Portland Place and Highgate. Built in 1891 as the Denbigh Constitutional Club and designed by R Lloyd Williams, architect of Denbigh. The club was built by share-holders and was opened in March 1892, alas not by Mr A J Balfour, as had been planned. The original design included a billiards room facing the High Street and incorporated three let shops below (facing Portland Place). Here this is a cornice decoration above a terracotta frieze with 'Constitutional Club' in raised letters. This building is listed Grade II.
