NOTOC The London Sketch Club is a private members' club for artists working in the field of commercial graphic art, mainly for newspapers, periodicals, and books.

1900 invitation to one of the regular "smoking" evenings at the club.

History

The club was founded in 1898 by a breakaway group of members from the Langham Sketching Club, following a disagreement over whether to have hot or cold suppers after an evening's drawing. The founding members were Dudley Hardy, Phil May, Cecil Aldin, Walter Churcher, and Tom Browne. George Charles Haité was its first president.

A joint exhibition with the Langham Sketching Club was held at the Mall Galleries in 1976.

For a while in the late 1970s, the Society of Strip Illustration held its monthly meetings at the Sketch Club.

Clubhouse

The club relocated in 1903 from its original location to premises in Wells Street, off Oxford Street. In 1957, the club moved to 7 Dilke Street in Chelsea.
