Travellers Club
The Travellers Club is a gentlemen's club situated at 106 Pall Mall, London, United Kingdom. It is the oldest of the surviving Pall Mall clubs, having been established in 1819. It was described as "the quintessential English gentleman's club" by the ''Los Angeles Times'' in 2004.〔(Touring the manly realm of London's Travellers Club ) Los Angeles Times, November 7, 2004〕
==Purpose==
The original concept of the club, by Lord Castlereagh and others, dates from the conclusion of the Napoleonic Wars. They envisaged a club where gentlemen who travelled abroad might meet and offer hospitality to distinguished foreign visitors. The original rules of 1819 excluded from membership anyone ''“who has not travelled out of the British islands to a distance of at least five hundred miles from London in a direct line”''.〔(Peter Cunningham, Hand-Book of London, 1850 )〕 Candidates for membership are still expected to list four of the foreign countries that they have visited before they are considered for election although under current rules any foreign travel is technically sufficient.
