1887 Piccadilly Pulled Rainy Ritz Isthmian
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a bygone era in the heart of London's West End. The image depicts Piccadilly Circus on a rainy day, circa 1900, with the distinctive facade of the Isthmian Club standing proudly in the background. The Isthmian Club, established in 1887, was a private members' institution that once stood on the site where the Ritz Hotel now stands. Its elegant neoclassical design, with its Corinthian columns and ornate detailing, was a striking contrast to the bustling activity below in Piccadilly Circus. The Isthmian Club was a popular gathering place for London's elite, offering its members a respite from the hustle and bustle of the city. The club's amenities included a billiard room, library, and dining room, where members could enjoy fine dining and lively debates. However, the club's tenure was brief, as it was demolished in 1904 to make way for the construction of the Ritz Hotel. Despite its short existence, the Isthmian Club left an indelible mark on London's history. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a rainy day in Piccadilly, where the Isthmian Club stood as a symbol of London's opulence and sophistication.
