Transcript of Blacks Event Pack Nov 2015
BLACKS
The home of Blacks is a wonderful Georgian
townhouse located at 67 Dean Street. Built in
1732 by John Meard Jnr. the apprentice to the
highly acclaimed English architect Sir
Christopher Wren, it was also once home to
Charles Fortnum of Fortnum & Mason.
The Club was first formed in 1764 when Samuel
Johnson, David Garrick and Joshua Reynolds
formed a supper club where they would meet
and discuss the issues of the day with fine food
and wine.
Nearly 300 years later in 1992, Blacks Club was
founded by Tom Bantock, a famous Norfolk
poacher. It was named Blacks Club as the
antithesis to White’s Club, London’s oldest
gentlemen’s club, it is said that many Blacks
Club members had been black-balled from
White’s or considered black sheep. Blacks Club
over the next 20 years would become a
famously ‘louche’ bohemian drinking den.
In 2014 Blacks Club was bought with the aim of
restoring the building back to its original
Georgian heritage, as well as revitalising the
club’s 18th century roots as a supper club.
