The Philosophy
Located in the heart of London at the Southbank, the 1901 Arts Club is a unique venue committed to connecting musicians, artists and persons who share an appreciation and interest for the arts, with regards to its role within society. Inspired by Europe's Salon Culture, the Club seeks to foster conversation, collaboration, and the exchange of ideas. The Club can be hired exclusively and can host regular events, providing a setting not only conducive to impromptu gatherings, but also business meetings, client entertainment and private parties.

Originally a schoolmaster's house, the building maintains its late Victorian exterior while the Club's beautifully decorated rooms re-create the intimate ambience of a private living room. With a performance space, meeting room, terrace and bar among its facilities, the venue offers opportunities to make music with colleagues and friends, to meet with like-minded people, and to enjoy quality informal performances of all genres.

As rentable rehearsal space for visiting artists
Any international artists visiting London could rent our music room in order to practice or rehearse at any time. The (rehearsal) room can be used around the clock and, because there are no residential neighbours adjacent to the building, even a pianist could practice late into the night.

As rentable rehearsal space for London-based artists
Musicians based in London requiring a music room larger than their own living room for chamber music rehearsals or for playing through a programme for friends.

As a small concert venue for concerts and presentations
As a performance venue for small concerts and presentations
Both established and young artists sometimes require an opportunity to play to a small audience(s), either in order to "try" a new programme before performing it in a larger hall or to present themselves to a select group e.g. concert-style auditions to conductors or promoters.

Some might require an exclusive and compact space to hold CD presentations or other presentations to potential sponsors. These events could be held at the 1901 Arts Club at an affordable cost and depending on the occasion, the bar facility (immediately above the music room) could be used.

As a venue for celebrations or social gatherings
Whether after an important performance or for a birthday celebration, artists often look for space in London to gather with friends, especially late at night, where they can converse without loud pop music in the background. The 1901 Arts Club has a late-bar license and can open the bar at any time. Any catering can be organised by the club.
