Club Customs and Rules

Dress code (for Members and Guests)

The Savile Club is a splendid Grade II* listed historic town house.  Members and their guests are asked to dress appropriately for this setting.  Gentlemen are required to wear a collared shirt and jacket at all times and whilst a tie is not de rigueur it is observed that most members do choose to wear a tie, particularly whilst dining.  Ladies are requested to dress ‘elegantly casual’.  Jeans and trainers are never permitted.  However when checking into or out of a bedroom the dress code is relaxed.

We request all coats and bags be left in our cloakroom and not taken into our public areas.

Electronic and Photographic Devices

All Electronic and Photographic Devices are not permitted to be used in any of the public rooms or on the terraces.   There are two designated areas – the Lobby or IT space in the downstairs Cloakroom, as well as the bedrooms and rooms hired for private functions/business meetings.

Business in the Club

It is a long-standing rule of the Club that briefcases, business papers, newspapers or books may not be taken into the Bar, Sandpit, Drawing Room, Ballroom or Dining Room at any time. If you wish to discuss business please book one of the private rooms.

The Morning Room

The Morning Room is a Members’ only sanctum, which contains daily newspapers, magazines, reference books, writing desks and easy chairs. The Candidates’ Book, Scrap Book and Suggestions Book are kept in here. This is the one room in the Club where conversation is not encouraged.

Guests and Expelled Members

Members are at liberty to introduce Guests to the Club in accordance with the Rules.  Members are not permitted to introduce expelled or suspended members as Guests to the Club.  For the avoidance of any doubt, former members expelled pursuant to Rule 17 shall not be permitted to enter Club premises or to attend any Club run events.
