National Liberal Club
The National Liberal Club is a London gentlemen's club, now also open to women, which was established by William Ewart Gladstone in 1882 for the purpose of providing club facilities for Liberal Party campaigners among the newly-enlarged electorate after the 1882 Reform Act. The club's impressive neo-gothic building over the Embankment of the river Thames is one of the largest clubhouses ever built, and was not completed until 1887, it was designed by Alfred Waterhouse.
