The club was founded in 1898 by a breakaway group of members from Langham Sketching Club. It relocated in 1903 to premises in Wells Street, off Oxford Street, then in 1957 moved to 7 Dilke Street in Chelsea. The founder members were Dudley Hardy, Phil May, Cecil Aldin, Walter Churcher, and Tom Browne. George Charles Haité was its first president. A joint exhibition with Langham Sketch Club was held at the Mall Galleries in 1976.[1]
