Pratt's
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pratt's is a gentlemen's club in London. It was established in 1857, with premises in a town house in Park Place. It takes its name from William Nathaniel Pratt, who lived there from 1841. Pratt was steward to the Duke of Beaufort, who called at the house with his friends one evening, and enjoyed themselves so much that they returned time and again. After Pratt's death in 1860, the club was continued by his widow, Sophia, and son, Edwin.
The premises were later acquired by the Duke of Devonshire. It has around 600 members, but only 14 can dine at one time at the single table in the basement dining room.
