7A, Jesus Lane
The Pitt Club, has premises at 7a Jesus Lane. The neoclassical building was originally designed as Victorian Roman Baths in 1863 by Sir Matthew Digby Wyatt. The baths were short-lived, open only between February and December 1863. After the closure, the building was auctioned off and bought by its own architect. He rented out half of the building to the Pitt Club, and the other half to Orme's Billiards Rooms. Later, the club bought the entire building, and for much of the 20th century, the club occupied the whole of the building. In October 1997, the club sold a 25-year leasehold on the ground floor of its building to the Pizza Express chain.
