The Reform Club at 107 Pall Mall was designed by Sir Charles Barry, with Grissell & Peto as builders, and opened on March 1, 1841. Its members own and control it, and the article names no separate client. The text gives no construction start.
The design is palatial, based on the Palazzo Farnese in Rome. The Saloon is described as the finest of any London club, and the library has grown to over 85,000 books through member donations. The article names no materials or dimensions.
Winston Churchill resigned in 1913 over the blackballing of Baron de Forest, and David Lloyd George resigned with him. Michael Palin's 1989 journey ended on its steps, where he was refused entry. The building appears in the series Bridgerton. It is a private members' club with about 2,700 members. The article gives no hours.
