History
%0ARobert Adam bought this part of the Thames bank in 1668 and by 1774 had finished the Adelphi development - a row of Georgian terraces built on a foundation of vaults. By Dickens's time the houses above the vaults had fallen into disrepair and it is almost certain that he used them as the inspiration for Fagan's thieves' den in Oliver Twist. So the smart, clean restaurant that you see today was once a hovel for thieves.

Library

It has WiFi and a number of PCs, all linked to a 10Mb internet feed. There is also a photocopier Above all there is peace and quiet - one of the most precious and unique commodities the Club can supply.

Restaurant

Private Hire
%0AThe Club has three rooms which are available for private hire by non-Members for everything from private dining to birthday parties and product launches to weddings. It also has a series of more formal Georgian meeting rooms available during the working day. One of the most special elements of hiring a room at Adam Street is the personal service you will receive allowing you to relax in the knowledge that the all important details of your party are safe in expert hands.

Gallery
%0AThis is almost the only space in the club that is not part of the original vaults and so this room has become the club's Gallery. Every month a new artist is asked to exhibit there and this flexible space can be and has been used for meetings and parties including conferences, birthday drinks, private dining, presentations, product launches, lectures and even weddings.
