Over a century ago, what is now the Mall Room served as the original Library at the Pall Mall clubhouse. It was a quiet retreat for members seeking time for reading and several of the room's original features remain today.

This Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost is celebrating its 100th birthday. Believed to be the last one produced at Derby and supplied to the home market - and with a continuous chain of four devoted owners - the car stands as a rare and elegant example of the Rolls-Royce legacy.

Day two of the Epsom Derby Festival - Derby Day - is marked by a more formal dress code. Many choose to embrace this custom by wearing a tailcoat and top hat, a practice that dates back to the 19th century when horse racing was a favourite pastime of the British aristocracy.

The Pall Mall clubhouse has recently undergone a stunning renovation. At its centre is a striking triangular French Renaissance pediment with carvings created by Ferdinand Faivre. His discreetly hidden signature was rediscovered during the restoration and is now gleaming in gold.
