ARGYLL ROOMS, famous London entertainment resort in the earlier part of the nineteenth century and one of the head quarters of the best public music in London for many years. They were situated near Oxford Circus in Argyll street (whence the name), on a site now occupied by 246 Regent street. Here the Philharmonic Society gave their first concerts, in the course of which Spohr, Moscheles, Liszt and Mendelssohn among others all made their first appearance in England. The premises were destroyed by fire in 1830 and though afterwards rebuilt never recovered their popularity.
