THE FOX CLUB, Mayfair, London

THE PAST:

The Fox Club takes its name from one of the former residents of the Georgian building it occupies at 46 Clarges Street – Charles James Fox, a prominent politician, and Britain’s first Foreign Secretary. His private life was colourful and controversial: he was addicted to drinking, gambling and gaming, and a notorious womaniser. Elizabeth Armistead was an actress, courtesan, and mistress of the Prince of Wales who became Prince Regent, and later King George IV. In 1782, Fox availed himself of her services at her house in Clarges Street. The two fell in love, and eventually married in 1795, although their union remained a secret for another seven years. When Fox died in 1806, he was on the point of introducing a bill to abolish the slave trade. Elizabeth, whose moderating influence had gradually tamed her husband’s wild excesses, lived for another 36 years, and died aged 91.

THE PRESENT:

Now a private members' club, The Fox Club also functions as a boutique hotel.
