A private social club in New London, Connecticut
The Thames Club
Good conversation. A familiar table.
Something to look forward to.
At the Thames Club, people from across southeastern Connecticut come together for dining, duckpin bowling, lectures, celebrations, and the pleasure of knowing one another.
Our historic clubhouse on State Street is a place to meet friends—and make new ones. Members bring different professions, backgrounds, and interests. What they share is an appreciation for good company and a community they can help shape.
