In February 2017 Richmond upon Thames Council approved a planning application to demolish the building, and erect a new community building and six flats.[4] The buildingThe club was housed in Victoria & St John's, a building in timber[5] clad with corrugated iron, which from 1876 to 1889 had been an iron church on the opposite side of Sandycombe Road, housing St Luke's Church and St Luke's School.[3] It was moved to its present position in 1889 when the current St Luke's Church was built in The Avenue.[3] Its close association with the history of Kew led to it being listed in 2005 by the local council as a Building of Townscape Merit.[6][7] The clubAlderman James Weeks Szlumper, an engineer and major benefactor of Darell Road School, who had also been mayor of Richmond,[10] was, for many years, the club's president and patron.[8][9]The club was renowned for the amount of money it raised to send cigarettes to British soldiers at the front in the First World War.[3] It was visited by four overseas prime ministers and many British government ministers and by members of the British Royal Family.[3] A photograph shows Alderman Szlumper seated between the Duke and Duchess of York (later King George VI and Queen Elizabeth).[8] David Blomfield, former Chairman of the Richmond Local History Society, said: "In all, the club boasted of visits from 50 such VIPs over seven years – probably a unique record for a club of its size, and most certainly for one set in such accommodation".[3] Current useThe building continued to be used by the club as a billiards hall until 2015; it is now empty. As of 2016, an extension at the back of the building was still used by a school for Japanese martial arts.[10] In February 2017 Richmond upon Thames Council approved a planning application to demolish the building, and erect a new community building and six flats.[4] References1. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.richmondlibraries.net/rca1/details.asp?Image_ID=226&SearchArea=0KE&SearchSubject=&SearchYear1=0&SearchYear2=0&Gallery=&Map=1 | title=Victoria and St John's Working Men's Club | publisher=London Borough of Richmond upon Thames | work=Local History and Heritage: Community Archive | date=2003 | accessdate=6 July 2014 | author=Richardson, David}} 2. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.richmond.gov.uk/ca_kewgdnsb_web.pdf | title=The churches | publisher=London Borough of Richmond upon Thames | work=Conservation Area Study: Kew Road no. 55, Kew Gardens no. 15 & Lawn Crescent no. 20 | date=May 2007 | accessdate=20 April 2016 | pages=4}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite book | title=Kew Past | publisher=Phillimore & Co Ltd | author=Blomfield, David | year=1994 | pages=116–117 | isbn=0-85033923-5}} 4. ^1 {{Cite web |url=https://images.richmond.gov.uk/iam/IAMCache/2172348/2172348.pdf |title=The Town and Country Planning Act 1990, (as amended) Decision Notice Application: 16/0905/FUL |last=Angus |first=Robert |date=23 February 2017 |publisher=London Borough of Richmond upon Thames}} 5. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.movehut.co.uk/property/328788-275-sandycombe-road-richmond-upon-thames--surrey-/ | title=275 Sandycombe Road, Richmond upon Thames | publisher=Move Hut | accessdate=16 August 2016}} 6. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.richmond.gov.uk/locally_listed_buildings | title=Locally listed buildings | publisher=London Borough of Richmond upon Thames | date=21 January 2015 | accessdate=16 August 2016}} 7. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.richmond.gov.uk/btm_register11_14.pdf | title=Buildings of Townscape Merit | publisher=London Borough of Richmond upon Thames | accessdate=16 August 2016}} 8. ^1 2 {{cite journal | url=http://www.richmondhistory.org.uk/wordpress/richmond-history-the-journal-of-richmond-local-history-societyno-33-2012-%E2%80%8E/no-28-2007/ | title=Patrons and potatoes: Aspects of an Edwardian council school | author=Stearn, Roger T | journal=Richmond History: Journal of the Richmond Local History Society | year=2007 | volume=28 | pages=78–79}} 9. ^[https://archiveshub.jisc.ac.uk/data/gb358-dc56 Szlumper, James 1834–1926 Sir James Szlumper Cuttings Files, 1869-1919.
