List of Savile Club members

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Savile Club is a gentlemen's club in Mayfair, London, founded in 1868.[1][2] From its earliest years the club drew a deliberately varied membership, with particular strength in literature, the arts, music and science; some 200 Fellows of the Royal Society were members between 1868 and 1923 alone.[1][3][4] Members are known as Savilians.

Following are some the notable members of the Savile Club, drawn from the index to Garrett Anderson's history of the club and from the club's membership records.[5] Dates are the year elected to the Savile Club.[6]: 99
