The '''Reform Club''' is a [[private members' club]], owned and controlled by its members, on the south side of [[Pall Mall, London|Pall Mall]] in [[central London]], England. As with all of London's original [[gentlemen's club]]s, it had an all-male membership for decades, but it was one of the first all-male clubs to change its rules to include the admission of women on equal terms in 1981. Since its foundation in 1836, the Reform Club has been the traditional home for those committed to [[progressivism|progressive]] political ideas, with its membership initially consisting of [[Radicals (UK)|Radicals]] and [[Whigs (British political party)|Whigs]]. However, it is no longer associated with any particular political party, and it now serves a purely social function.

The Reform Club currently enjoys extensive reciprocity with similar clubs around the world. It attracts a significant number of foreign members, such as diplomats accredited to the [[Court of St James's]]. Of the current membership of around 2,700, some 500 are "overseas members", and over 400 are women.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.reformclub.com/home/about |title=Reform Club |last1=Twells |first1=Bob |website=www.reformclub.com |access-date=2017-03-30 |archive-date=9 May 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170509105442/http://www.reformclub.com/home/about |url-status=dead }}</ref>

==History==

===19th century===
The club was founded by [[Edward Ellice (merchant)|Edward Ellice]], [[Member of Parliament (United Kingdom)|Member of Parliament]] (MP) for Coventry and [[Whigs (British political party)|Whig]] [[Whip (politics)|Whip]], whose riches came from the [[Hudson's Bay Company]], but whose zeal was chiefly devoted to securing the passage of the [[Reform Act 1832]]. The club held its first meeting at No. 104 Pall Mall on 5 May 1836.<ref>{{cite book |url=https://archive.org/details/18361886reformcl00fagauoft/page/34/mode/2up |title=The Reform club: its founders and architect |last=Fagan |first=Louis |page=34 |publisher=Bernard Quaritch |year=1887}}</ref>

This new club, for members of both Houses of [[Parliament of the United Kingdom|Parliament]], was intended to be a forum for the [[Political radicalism|radical]] ideas which the First Reform Bill represented: its purpose was to promote "the social intercourse of the reformer of the United Kingdom".<ref>{{cite book |url=https://archive.org/details/18361886reformcl00fagauoft/page/36/mode/2up |title=Fagan 1887, p. 36|year=1887 }}</ref>

The Reform Club's building was designed by renowned architect [[Sir]] [[Charles Barry]]<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=45188 |title=Pall Mall; Clubland Old and New London: Volume 4 (pp. 140–164) |publisher=british-history.ac.uk |date=22 June 2003 |access-date=18 April 2013 |archive-date=9 February 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130209112820/http://british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=45188 |url-status=live }}</ref> and contracted to builders [[Thomas Grissell|Grissell]] & [[Samuel Morton Peto|Peto]]. The new club was built on [[Palazzo style architecture|palatial]] lines, the design being based on the [[Farnese Palace|Palazzo Farnese]] in [[Rome]], and its [[State room|Saloon]] in particular is regarded as the finest of all London's clubs. It was officially opened on 1 March 1841.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://reformclub.com/getmedia/b87bee5e-ae28-41c9-ae80-911cdd22d22d/175_Years_of_the_Reform_Clubhouse_1841_%e2%80%93_2016.aspx |title=175 Years of the Reform Clubhouse 1841-2016 |page=5 |publisher=The Reform Club |access-date=26 April 2022 |archive-date=22 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221022184207/https://reformclub.com/getmedia/b87bee5e-ae28-41c9-ae80-911cdd22d22d/175_Years_of_the_Reform_Clubhouse_1841_%e2%80%93_2016.aspx |url-status=live }}</ref> Facilities provided included a library which, following extensive donations from members, grew to contain over 85,000 books.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://uusc.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/ReformClub.pdf |title=Information |publisher=The Reform Club |access-date=26 April 2022 |archive-date=16 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221016123133/https://uusc.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/ReformClub.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref>

After the [[Second World War]] and with the old Liberal Party's further decline, the club increasingly drew its membership from civil servants.<ref>{{cite news |last=Walker |first=Tim |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/8832061/Polly-Toynbees-man-makes-a-meal-of-his-expenses.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220112/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/8832061/Polly-Toynbees-man-makes-a-meal-of-his-expenses.html |archive-date=12 January 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |title=Polly Toynbee's man makes a meal of his expenses |newspaper=Telegraph |date=18 October 2011 |access-date=18 April 2013}}{{cbignore}}</ref> The club continued to attract a comprehensive list of guest [[Public speaking|speaker]]s including Government Ministers [[Nick Clegg]] and [[Theresa May]] (2011), [[John Sentamu|Archbishop John Sentamu]] (2012), and [[Ambassador]] [[Liu Xiaoming]] (2013).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.chinese-embassy.org.uk/eng/EmbassyNews/2013/201311/t20131128_3387829.htm |title=Talking about "Reform" at the Reform Club: H.E.

==Literary associations==
Besides having had many distinguished members from the literary world, including [[William Makepeace Thackeray]] and [[Arnold Bennett]], the Reform played a role in some significant events, such as the feud between [[Oscar Wilde]]'s friend and literary executor [[Robbie Ross]] and Wilde's ex-lover [[Lord Alfred Douglas]]. In 1913, after discovering that Lord Alfred had taken lodgings in the same house as himself with a view to stealing his papers, Ross sought refuge at the club, from where he wrote to [[Edmund Gosse]], saying that he felt obliged to return to his rooms "with firearms".<ref>Maureen Borland, ''Wilde's Devoted Friend: a Life of Robert Ross'' (1990), p. 201.</ref>

[[Harold Owen]], the brother of [[Wilfred Owen]], called on [[Siegfried Sassoon]] at the Reform after Wilfred's death.<ref>Christian Major, "Sassoon's London: the Reform Club", ''Siegfried's Journal'', no 12 (July 2007), pp. 5–13.</ref> Sassoon wrote a poem entitled "Lines Written at the Reform Club", which was printed for members at Christmas 1920.<ref>Russell Burlingham & Roger Billis, ''Reformed Characters: The Reform Club in History and Literature'' (2005), p. 34.</ref>

The book is one of the political novels in the [[Palliser novels|Palliser series]]. The political events it describes are a fictionalized account of the build-up to the [[Second Reform Act]], passed in 1867, which effectively extended the franchise to the working classes.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.online-literature.com/anthony-trollope/phineas-finn/25/ |title=Chapter 25: Mr. Turnbull's Carriage Stops the Way |first=Anthony |last=Trollope |year=1867 |publisher=St. Paul's |access-date=26 April 2022 |archive-date=22 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221022160309/http://www.online-literature.com/anthony-trollope/phineas-finn/25/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

===Films and television===
Comedian and travel writer [[Michael Palin]] began and ended his [[Around the World in 80 Days with Michael Palin|televised 1989 journey around the world in 80 days]] at the Reform Club, following his fictional predecessor. Palin was not permitted to enter the building to complete his journey, as had been his intention, so his trip ended on the steps outside. Palin later explained that he had been refused entry not because he was not wearing a tie but because the club claimed it would 'disturb the members'.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/michael-palin-vanity-fair-thackeray-becky-sharp-love-island-trump/ |title=Vanity Fair's Michael Palin: 'Today Becky Sharp would be on Love Island – or working as President Trump's press secretary' |publisher=Radio Times |date=2 September 2018 |access-date=26 April 2022 |archive-date=26 April 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220426143553/https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/michael-palin-vanity-fair-thackeray-becky-sharp-love-island-trump/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
