A place to belong in New London

Membership at
The Thames Club

Good conversation. Familiar faces. A table worth returning to.

Since 1869, The Thames Club has brought people together in downtown New London. Today, members gather for dining, duckpin bowling, lectures, music, and the everyday pleasure of spending time with people they enjoy.

Whether you have lived here for years or recently arrived, we invite you to get acquainted.

Your introduction

You do not need to know a member already

Membership involves introduction and sponsorship by a current member. If you do not yet know anyone, contact us. A visit gives you a chance to meet members, ask questions, and learn how the process works.

We can explain membership categories, current dues, spouse and partner privileges, and reciprocal-club arrangements.

Let's get acquainted
