Russell Sage in the<br />
newly refurbished<br />
Mall Room<br />
New BaNquetiNg Rooms<br />
at Pall mall<br />
Four banqueting rooms at Pall<br />
Mall have been refurbished by<br />
interior designer Russell Sage and<br />
are now complete. The striking<br />
rooms retain a club character; all<br />
part of Russell’s grand vision: ‘I’m<br />
suspicious of that generic,<br />
“international luxury” look you see<br />
a lot – history is important to me.’<br />
To embrace the club’s heritage,<br />
Gainsborough Silks have been<br />
hung on the walls in two rooms. ‘I<br />
was aware that the walls of the club<br />
would have been hung with silk<br />
originally’, says Russell, creative<br />
director of the Gainsborough Silk<br />
Weaving Company, which counts<br />
Buckingham Palace among its<br />
clients. History is a recurring<br />
theme; a museum has been created<br />
in the Committee Room whilst the<br />
Segrave has an impressive cabinet<br />
to house the club’s collection of<br />
motoring trophies and<br />
memorabilia. Pop upstairs for a<br />
nosy next time you are in the club.<br />
To book one of the rooms contact<br />

rooms<br />
retain a club<br />
character’<br />
