About the London Racing Club...
The London Racing Club exists to promote, in all its guises, the sport of Horseracing. The club has regular ‘In-town’ meetings at Jury’s Hotel South Kensington (less than five minutes walk from South Kensington tube station) where the evenings take the form of either a preview (April sees an Aintree preview, May a Flat season preview and November a Jumps season preview). Our biggest evening of the year is our Cheltenham preview which has a change of venue to the Royal National Hotel in Russell Square to help accommodate the 300 or so punters who turn up for this annual success. Other evenings have a special guest such as when Andrew Barr of the Racing Post hosted an evening with retired three times winning Derby jockey and now successful trainer Walter Swinburn.

The club also arranges various trips; in the past we have had discounted tickets for a box at meetings at Sandown, Ascot, Kempton and not least Newbury where each November the LRC sponsor a race on the Sunday of the Hennessy meeting. Stable visits are another feature.
