The Cobden Club is not (now) a gentlemen's club. Not actually sure it ever was: I'm pretty sure it used to be a "Working Men's Club" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_men%27s_club ). Now it is a modern private member's club, with a large number of members drawn from the media, much like "Soho House" in London's Greek Street.86.139.91.187 10:57, December 5, 2006

[edit] Two Cobden Clubs?

This article seems to be about a social club. I know from reading Victorian history that there was a Cobden Club founded in 1866 which had considerable impact on British politics by combating 'fair trade' theories through publishing free trade propaganda. This seems to be a separate Cobden Club?--Johnbull (talk) 12:01, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
