The Oxford and Cambridge Club is at 71 Pall Mall, London, England. The clubhouse was designed for the membership by architect Sir Robert Smirke and completed towards the end of 1837. It was founded for members of the universities of Oxford and Cambridge. In 1989, the club's Crown lease was extended until 2087, and major refurbishment of the accommodation was carried out in 1996.
