The Hawks' Club has been in existence since 1872, and represents the cream of sportsmen in the University of Cambridge. Membership is by election only, and the usual criterion is that the candidate should have his blue – i.e. have taken part in the match against Oxford in his particular sport. Many famous sporting names have been, or are, members – Chris Brasher, Ted Dexter, Mike Atherton, Tony Lewis, Gavin Hastings, Rob Andrew, to name just a few.
The Clubhouse is at No 18 Portugal Place, a pedestrian-only street opening off Bridge Street. No 18 is towards the Park Street end, and there is a multi-storey car park nearby, accessible via Jesus Lane. The Clubhouse is on 4 floors comprising basement Bar, ground floor Members Room, second floor Dining Room, and top floor Meeting Room and Steward's Flat.
