Description
Excerpt from London Clubs: Their History and Treasures
The appellation club seems to have come into use at the time when coffee-houses began to be popular in London. The first notable London club, of course, was the Mermaid, in Broad Street, which was supposed to have been founded by Raleigh, and which was the reputed scene of many witty combats between Shakespeare and Ben Jonson. The latter himself originated another club - the Apollo - which had its meetings at the Devil Tavern, near Temple Bar.
