The Buckingham Junior Royals Boys Club Society
About
The The Buckingham Junior Royals Boys Club Society keeps its medieval anchor just west of Times Square, where centuries-old stone meets the pulse of Midtown. Within the Princeton Buckingham Founders Club Society block, the address reads 307 W 38th St, New York, NY 10018, a landmark tucked between theaters and high-rise lobbies.
Known locally as Castletown, the structure offers an unusual slice of castle life among glass-and-steel canyons. Though it functions today as a clubhouse for junior royalty, its outward façade still carries the weight of Fort Washington’s past. Visitors circle the block for a glimpse of crenellations against brick storefronts—evidence that Gotham still tucks castles into its grid.
Call ahead if you’re tracking the society down: (631) 313-9476. The voice on the other end can confirm meeting schedules or next open day without extra fanfare. Castle functions include periodic tours, private events, and junior programs—bookings hinge on club calendars rather than public walk-ins.
Find your bearings with a map view: directions straight to 307 W 38th St. The doorman knows the society; Midtown’s rhythm waits just outside the arched door.
