The book I'm reading from has some slight variance from the link provided below. If you are following along with the text at that link, I'm not reading it wrong, my book is just slightly different here and there. None of the differences are substantive.
My book also has annotations! From the annotations:
a true son of the carnation - the phrase indicates a connection to the Decadent movement; Oscar Wilde had taken the green carnation as his emblem.
the Phoenix ... the Row ... Hurlingham: There was a Phoenix Club is St. James's Place, though not by this time. "The Row" refers to Rotten Row (a corruption of 'Route du Roi') in Hyde Park, a track for horse riding and once a fashionable spot. The Hurlingham Club in Fulham was founded in 1869 - initially for pigeon shooting, then polo, and finally a broad range of sports and games.
bus = horse-drawn omnibus
White Horse Cellars is an old coaching inn
Badminton: The Badminton Club in Piccadilly was founded in 1875
Briar Rose ... the Beauty ... was fast asleep: The briar rose is both a flowering plant and the title of a folk tale ("Little Briar Rose" or "Dornroeschen", recorded by the Brothers Grimm), corresponding to the story of "Sleeping Beauty".
Johnny: An idle and vacuous young aristocrat
a quiet dinner at Azario's: Luigi Azario's Florence Restaurant, in Rupert Street. Machen dined there in 1890 with Oscar Wilde.
the Junior Wilton: probably fictitious; there was a Junior Carlton Club in Pall Mall, a Junior Athenaeum Club in Piccadilly, and so on.
Green Chartreuse: a green-tinged liqueur, made by the Carthusian monks.
"Hansom!": hansom cab, a speedy two-wheeled carriage then at the height of its popularity as a mode of urban transport.
The picture used is "Regent Street from the Circus Piccadilly previous to taking down Carlton Palace", by Thomas Hosmer Shepherd.
