One of the earliest club for KL's elite, the Selangor Club has been around since the British colonial days as the social gathering place for the Britons stationed in KL. It is located just opposite the Sultan Abdul Samad building and Dataran Merdeka (which used to be called Selangor Club's field). Its unique feature is its Tudor inspired design which is a striking contrast to building with domes and minarets in its surrounding.

we Brits are famed for creating homes from home all over the world, not something we should be proud of
how incongruous to put Tudor style buildings here, then to not allow the native citizens to enter them, happily this is not the case today

Royal Selangor is a fantastic tour to see through the working area of fine Pewter. They will show you through from the start to end of making different products. There is also a shop to purchase Pewter products, a lot cheaper here than back in Australia. Some of top items that they sell are; Pewter Rose, Hipflask, Wine Goblets, Champagne Goblets, Chopstick Rest & Wine Pourers.
Also this tour includes a trip to a Bug Factory, gross but great experience, a quick stop to see some Rubber Trees (one of Malaysia's top exports) & the Batu Caves (check out my other tip pages).
A shuttle bus will pick you up from your Hotel, book before you leave through your travel agent or through a local tour group. Directions: Head Office & Visitor Centre 4 Jalan Usahawan 6, Setapak Jaya 53300 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. |
