Who can become a member
We have members, who form the majority in the Club, and political members. You don’t need to be a member of any political party to be a political member: all we ask is that you can declare you are a Liberal in your politics. Or, as a member, that you won’t use the Club premises for any activities that are harmful to the cause of Liberalism. Political members and members are broadly alike, but political members have extra places on the Club’s Members’ Council which represents the whole membership, and extra voting rights at AGMs.
Why you should become a member
Becoming a member not only includes you in the ranks of famous members old and new such as Winston Churchill, William Gladstone and Mary Robinson, but it also offers the opportunity to take advantage of our unrivalled facilities right in the heart of London.
