Presidents of the Club †=died in office Other groups and clubs absorbed or integrated into the NLC The short-lived Century Club was absorbed into the NLC on its launch in November 1882. The NLC regularly hosted meetings of the pro-Free Trade Cobden Club between the 1880s and 1930s resulting in the NLC and the Cobden Club sharing a very large number of memberships. The NLC absorbed most of the Cobden Club's membership after the Cobden Club's demise. Between 1963 and 1965, the Savage Club (named after actor and poet Richard Savage) lodged in some rooms at the NLC, and did so again from 1990 to 2021, lodging in a ground-floor room of the club. In 2020, the Savage Club was served with a year's notice to re-locate by the NLC in 2021, reportedly over NLC members' disapproval of hosting a men-only club within the NLC. The Gladstone Club, a Liberal discussion group founded in 1973, continues to meet at the club. As noted above, the Liberal Party leased the upper floors of the club as its national headquarters from 1977 to 1988. Since 1977, Liberal International has had its international headquarters on the ground floor of the club. The John Stuart Mill Institute is a liberal think tank founded in 1992 by several NLC members, which is based at the club and holds occasional lectures there. The Liberal Democrat History Group founded in 1994 holds four meetings a year – two at the Lib Dem Spring and Autumn party conferences, and two at the NLC - and while independent, it is embedded as a Circle of the Club. The monthly Kettner Lunch was originally founded in 1974 by NLC member Sir Peter Boizot and named after the Soho restaurant he owned, which hosted the group; but since Boizot sold Kettner's in 2002, the Kettner Lunch has been meeting at the NLC. In 2014, the Authors' Club (which had been founded in the neighbouring Whitehall Court building in 1891, and had previously lodged in the NLC in 1966–76), returned to the club and
