The London Dueling and Social Club

The London Dueling and Social Club is a private members-only amateur and professional dueling club, open to recreational and competitive duelers. The club has existed under its current organization since 2008. Prior to this, there were at least five other iterations of the LDC, the first organized in 1705.

Classes and competitions for school aged children, 11-18, are held in the summer months.

At nearly 90,000 sq ft., the club beautifully embraces the glamour of the 1950's and 60's–pairing the service and sophistication of the West End with the downtown cool of the East End. Just off Liverpool Street, this private club boasts an incredible food and beverage program, as well as a plethora of amenities for members–like a private gymnasium, a winter garden with an adjoining cigar terrace and a summer terrace for al fresco dining and lounging.

With 37 guest rooms, The London Dueling Club has its own boutique hotel with 68 beautifully designed bedrooms, situated over four floors. The luxury rooms come in a variety of sizes, from compact Club Rooms that are perfect for an overnight work stay, to interconnecting rooms designed with families in mind and then right up to luxurious Club Suites, ideal for a special weekend in the heart of London. Every luxury room has been finished to an exceptionally high standard.

House elves maintain the property and assist the chef in all food preparation. Often a house elf will be seen behind the bar or providing food/beverage service to the clientele. However, a number of hospitality positions are still manned by wixens.

Members-only, expect to pay several thousand galleons for a yearly membership.
