Oscar Wilde Visits the Club’s Rooms at Anderton’s

In July 1890, Oscar Wilde called at the Whitefriars Club’s rooms at Anderton’s Hotel and had a long talk about Dorian Gray with Friar Sidney Low, then editor of the St James’s Gazette.

There is no record of Oscar Wilde ever being present at one of the club’s dinners, although he may have attended as a guest of Sidney Low himself.
