The '''Primrose Club''' was a short-lived political [[London]] [[gentlemen's club]] founded in 1886 and located at 4-5 Park Place, [[St. James's]]. It was aligned to the [[Conservative party (UK)|Conservative]] party, with members having to pledge support. It was launched as a bid to combine the explosion of the popularity of clubs in London at the end of the nineteenth century with the phenomenal success of the Conservative-aligned [[Primrose League]].<br />
<br />
At first it proved highly successful, with ''[[Whitaker's Almanack]]'' reporting 6,500 members, but within a decade this had already shrunk to 5,500, and by 1910 it had just 350 members, and was disbanded shortly afterwards.<ref>Antonia Taddei, ''London clubs in the late nineteenth century'' (Oxford University discussion paper, 1999), p. 20</ref><br />
