The Caledonian Club is a private club in London founded in 1891. It is located at 9 Halkin Street Sw1, near Belgrave Square, Belgravia, London.
It was founded in 1891 as a proprietary club, The Caledonian Club as it is today was formed in 1917 under the leadership of the Marquis Tullibardine. He appealed to Members to make it "the representative national club and headquarters for Scotsmen in London". and today full membership is open to ladies as well as to those having 'close association' with Scotland for example by being born in Scotland, educated in Scotland or having direct Scottish descent. The Club moved from St James’s during World War II. The current Clubhouse in Halkin Street opened in October 1946 and is named after Halkin Castle, the Duke of Westminster’s seat in Flintshire. Built in 1907 as a private residence of Hugh Morrison to the design of Detmar Blow. A new five-storey wing with terrace garden was officially opened on St Andrew's Day in 2006 by Her Majesty The Queen Elizabeth II.
The Club has established various societies:
