The Climbers' Club was formed there in 1897.[2]

The banquet for the London 1899 chess tournament took place there.[3]

After some time as the nightclub Avalon, a refurbished Cafe Monico reopened under the new ownership of Soho House in April 2016. It is now a two-floor restaurant serving European dishes under the supervision of consultant chef Rowley Leigh.[4][5]
