Zoom WREN talk follow-up after the walk
2023-09-12 18:30 - 20:00 UTC
Following on from the club’s guided Wren walk on Saturday 26 August, club member and City of London guide Stephen Willis will give a Zoom talk on the great architect Sir Christopher Wren as one of the events to mark the 300th anniversary of his death. The talk will focus on the stunning interiors of those City of London churches that the group will have passed on the walk, as well as other masterpieces among Wren’s buildings in the City and beyond.

The ticket price is per screen so bring friends and family around to join in.

The name's Wren.......
2023-08-26 14:00 - 15:30
2023 is a special year for several notable individuals with the surname Wren. It marks the 200th anniversary of the death (at the grand age of 90) of London’s greatest architect, Sir Christopher Wren. And, of course, it also marks the start of the year at the helm of the United Wards Club’s current President, Mike Wren.
To celebrate this remarkable double, we have arranged for the Club a special Wren walking tour of the City of London. This will be led by the Club’s Banner Bearer Stephen Willis, a qualified guide both in the City of London and the City of Westminster. A number of you will remember the fascinating walk that Stephen led last summer, which explored the very special history and heritage of our club.
This year’s walk will take place on the afternoon of Saturday 26th August, which will hopefully enable plenty of people to take part. Up to 30 places will be available. The cost for the walk will be £20 per head. We shall meet at The Monument ready for a 2pm departure and the walk will finish an hour and a half or so later at the front of St Paul’s Cathedral. The walk will take in a wide range of different sites/sights that are connected with London’s remarkable architecture of the years following the Great Fire.
If you would be interested in staying on afterwards to enjoy a drink, we had intended to make a booking nearby at The Wardrobe, located in Wardrobe Place, where the Club’s founder Joseph Newbon had his business premises, but this has closed so wewill be going to Ye Olde Watling on Watling Street just up the road from St Paul’s for 4.15pm drinks

The President is honoured and delighted that the Club’s Patron, The Rt Hon The Lord Mayor, Alderman Vincent Keaveny has accepted an invitation to luncheon. He will be accompanied by the Lady Mayoress, and by Sheriff and Alderman Nicholas Lyons and Mrs Felicity Lyons.
Members are asked to gather at Farmers & Fletchers Hall, 3 Cloth Street, London EC1A 7LD, at 12:15 pm, for luncheon at 1:00 pm. This is a particularly appropriate venue, since the Lady Mayoress is a Liveryman of the Fletchers. Dress will be morning suit or dark lounge suit for gentlemen and equivalent for ladies. This is an occasion when, as well as members of this Club and their guests, we welcome members of the City’s Ward Clubs and we hope that many Clubs will be represented. The ticket price will be £110. Please book your party as soon as possible and certainly no later than Monday 24 January.

January Lunch
2022-01-11 - 2022-01-12
Following the Special General Meeting we have arranged to have a three-course lunch with wine in the Grenier Room at Le Café du Marché in Charterhouse Square. Tucked away in the heart of London, Le Café du Marché has been serving French cuisine over thirty years. Housed in a converted warehouse, built on the foundations of the coach houses for the neighbouring Charterhouse and once a storage warehouse for St Barts, the structural heritage is fitting as one of the area’s oldest restaurants and little has been done to alter the original features of the building.
The cost of the lunch is £70 per person. It would be helpful to have an indication of numbers by Monday 20 December, but late bookings will be entertained up to Wednesday 5 January. Guests are particularly welcome and this might be a good opportunity to introduce friends to the Club.
