The Thames Club · New London

Plan Your
Event Here

A venue with genuine character — historic rooms, working duckpin lanes, full dining service, and a house that has hosted New London's best occasions since 1869.

Why the Thames Club

Not a venue.
A house.

Event planners who bring clients to the Thames Club once tend to come back. The rooms are real — not converted conference space. The service is personal. The food is made in the kitchen, not trucked in. And the address at 290 State Street carries a history that no new venue can replicate.

We work with outside event planners for weddings, corporate dinners, fundraisers, receptions, and private occasions. The Club's staff handles catering coordination, room setup, and on-site service.
