Almack&#8217;s or Willis&#8217;s Rooms, King Street, St James, London, UK. Almack&#8217;s Assembly Rooms, founded by William Almack at No. 26-28, were on the site of the present Almack House. The club was originally a gaming establishment but moved from Pall Mall. The Assembly rooms were on the South side of King Street in St James&#8217;s and were opened on February 12, 1765. At the time the subscription was ten guineas for which there was a ball and supper each week for the twelve weeks of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Assemblies were held on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but only four or five times a season. Dates were listed in the paper along with the names of the Patronesses. When Lady Jersey took over Almack\u2019s around 1815, assemblies were changed to Wednesdays. Many aristocrats were  reportedly offended by something that happened at Almack\u2019s but Lord Jersey is reported to have refused to duel over any inferred slights because it would have meant he was forever involved in a duel. The other well-known Patronesses were Lady Bathurst and Lady Downshire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"books2read.com:suziloveYLD\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"823\" height=\"830\" src=\"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1826-almacks-revisited-by-charles-white..jpeg\" alt=\"1826 Almack's Revisited by Charles White.: 'It was what most correct persons called 'horrid bad Almack's'. #RegencyEra #London #BritishHistory\" class=\"wp-image-26495\" style=\"width:276px;height:284px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1826-almacks-revisited-by-charles-white..jpeg 823w, https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1826-almacks-revisited-by-charles-white.-100x100.jpeg 100w, https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1826-almacks-revisited-by-charles-white.-600x605.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1826-almacks-revisited-by-charles-white.-297x300.jpeg 297w, https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1826-almacks-revisited-by-charles-white.-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1826-almacks-revisited-by-charles-white.-768x775.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1826-almacks-revisited-by-charles-white.-640x645.jpeg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 823px) 100vw, 823px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">1826 Almack&#8217;s Revisited by Charles White.: &#8216;It was what most correct persons called &#8216;horrid bad Almack&#8217;s&#8217;. #RegencyEra #London #BritishHistory<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"books2read.com:suziloveYLD\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"585\" src=\"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/almacks_1817_April_LadiesVoucherforall-the-Wednesday-balls-at-Almacks_Sml.jpeg\" alt=\"almacks_1817 April Ladies' Voucher for all the Wednesday balls at Almack's in April 1817. via Suzi Love suzilove.com &amp; The Huntington Library, San Marino, California, U.S.A.\" class=\"wp-image-28857\" style=\"width:314px;height:270px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/almacks_1817_April_LadiesVoucherforall-the-Wednesday-balls-at-Almacks_Sml.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/almacks_1817_April_LadiesVoucherforall-the-Wednesday-balls-at-Almacks_Sml-600x501.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/almacks_1817_April_LadiesVoucherforall-the-Wednesday-balls-at-Almacks_Sml-300x251.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/almacks_1817_April_LadiesVoucherforall-the-Wednesday-balls-at-Almacks_Sml-640x535.jpeg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">1817 April Ladies&#8217; Voucher for all the Wednesday balls at Almack&#8217;s in April 1817. via The Huntington Library, San Marino, California, U.S.A.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"books2read.com:suziloveYLD\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"539\" src=\"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/almacks_1800s_Eaerly_thefirstquadrilleatalmacks_graphic_sml.jpeg\" alt=\"1815 The First Quadrille at Almack\u2019s Assembly Rooms, London.

I now live in a sunny part of Australia after spending many years in developing countries in the South Pacific. My greatest loves are traveling, anywhere and everywhere, meeting crazy characters, and visiting the Australian outback. I hope my books bring history alive and you have fun adventuring with my roguish heroes and feisty heroines.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.suzilove.com","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=1795828726","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/suzi_love_oz\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/suziloveauthor","https:\/\/www.pinterest.com.au\/suziloveoz","https:\/\/x.com\/SuziLove","https:\/\/www.tumblr.com\/blog\/suziloveuniverse"],"url":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/?author=1"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21990","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=21990"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21990\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":38075,"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21990\/revisions\/38075"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=21990"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=21990"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=21990"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
