The London Social Calendar, 1897

London's Social Season was fluid, depending on weather and hunting. The season typically coincided with the opening of Parliament, when its members would file into London from their country homes.
Social events, however, weren't in full swing until Easter, when people started to filter in from their country estates. In 1897,  the year of Queen Victoria's Jubilee, the annual exhibition at the Royal Academy of Art was considered "official" opening of the season.
