The Society's London Chapter was established in April 1971 when Kevin O'Shea, a Waterford-born architect based in London, contacted Desmond Guinness about the idea. The first general meeting was called on the 23rd of July, 1971, in the Irish Club on Eaton Square.
The Chapter is a voluntary endeavour, and is financially independent, with fundraising coming from events, memberships, donations or bequests, and profits being passed back to the Society in Ireland.
Between 1997 and 2005, the London Chapter contributed just over £58,000 to the Society in Ireland, from events alone.
In 2014, the London Chapter began to fund the Irish Georgian Society’s Conservation Grant Scheme and since that time has awarded nearly €300,000 towards conservation projects in Ireland.
