Arthur H. Beavan continued his survey of London Clubs, in Imperial London, published in 1901, with this look at the Constitutional Club:

One of the outcomes of the great agitation for constitutional principles in conservative circles, is the Constitutional Club, the red terra-cotta building on the left-hand side of Northumberland Avenue, going down from Charing Cross.

Its membership is immense - some 7000 - and the attendance in the long, handsome dining-room at luncheon and dinner-time throughout the year is very great.

It is a convenient and accessible club, especially for men who live out of town.

It possesses a striking portrait by A. Stuart-Wortley of King Edward VII (when Prince of Wales), in Van Dyck costume representing Charles I.
