The Eccentric Club
Known in its various incarnations as - The Illustrious Society of Eccentrics, The Everlasting Society of Eccentrics and The Eccentric Society Club , - it was once one of the most important institutions of British society. Its name is a long established and reputable social brand, its members were among those who have shaped British culture into what it is today, and its history is inseparable from that of Great Britain itself.
Founded a number of times by seemingly unrelated and socially different groups of people, for centuries it served as a meeting point for many great and original minds, pioneers of thought in artistic, literary, theatrical, scientific, legal and political circles, providing an amicable environment for their recreational and creative pastime as well as a testing ground for the novel and controversial theories and approaches to the issues equally important to British society and all of the mankind.
