The Garrick Club is a private members’ club in London, founded in 1831. It is one of the oldest members’ clubs in the world. Its 1,500 members include at least 160 senior legal professionals and members of the judiciary including King’s Counsel (KCs), Supreme Court and Court of Appeals judges, at least 10 serving members of parliament (MPs) and dozens of members of the House of Lords, many heads of public institutions alongside many actors, members of the arts, and businessmen. The Garrick was a gentlemen’s club with membership restricted exclusively to men. However, in May 2024 the club voted to allow women to be members.
The avowed purpose of the club was to “tend to the regeneration of the Drama”.
In 1985 Prince Charles was proposed by his father, Prince Phillip, and seconded by the actor Donald Sinden. Charles described his profession as “self-employed” on the nomination form.
