Come and Join Us

Do you live, work or have an interest in the Wards of Vintry and Dowgate in the City of London? Would you like to meet interesting people from a range of backgrounds, have a say in what goes on in the Ward as well as visit some fascinating and historic places? If so then this Club is for you.

We provide the chance for those connected with the Ward, in whatever way, to meet each other and the Aldermen and Common Councilmen that represent the Ward. Our events are social and municipal and we welcome new members, especially those who work in the area.

In case you don’t know, Vintry and Dowgate are two of 25 Wards in the City of London. The Vintry Ward Club was founded in 1877 and the Dowgate Club in 1896. The current arrangement is the result of the two clubs joining together in 1957 as the resident population declined and each club membership fell.

As a consequence the Club is represented by two Aldermen (the City equivalent of a Councillor) elected by Ward voters. Alison Gowman is Alderman for Dowgate Ward and Andrew Charles Parmley Alderman for Vintry Ward.

If you would like to join please contact our hon. secretary to arrange joining us at one of our events or a one-to-one meeting with one of our members.

They are supported by four Common Councilmen. Please click here to see how the City of London is divided into Wards.
