City Livery Club is a members-only club in the City of London, which was established in June 1914. It is based at Bell Wharf Lane, Upper Thames Street, London EC4R 3TB, in the City of London, a site that it shares with the Little Ship Club.
The club was founded "to bind together in one organisation
liverymen of the various guilds in the bond of civic spirit, in service to the Ancient Corporation and in the maintenance of the priceless City Churches," and it serves as a social club for those in the City. While membership was originally open only to City liverymen, it has since grown to include liverymen and freemen of the livery companies, City of London Companies without Livery, as well as assorted categories of associate membership. The incumbent Lord Mayor of London
is automatically elected patron of the club.
The City Livery Club has led something of a peripatetic existence, occupying the
St. Mary Axe
in 2003. The Club next moved to Bell Wharf Lane on the River Thames, sharing the facilities of the Little Ship Club. In August 2020 the Club moved to 42 Crutched Friars where it shared the location with the City University Club. In late January 2023 the Club returned to Bell Wharf Lane on the Thames riverfront where it once again shares the splendid premises with the Little Ship Club.
