The Athenaeum is a gentlemen's club in London, founded in 1824. The distinctive clubhouse (located at 107 Pall Mall at the corner of Waterloo Place) was designed by Decimus Burton in the Neoclassical style with a Doric portico, above which is a statue of the classical goddess of wisdom, Athene. The bas-relief frieze is a copy of the frieze round the Parthenon in Athens.
