The Naval and Military Club in City of London, Westminster

Classy top to bottom. Great coutyard with super new parasols.

An excellent bolt hole in London for both business and pleasure.

I attended a dinner here as a member's guest and really appreciated how nice the staff were about my assistance dog. The vegetarian options at the restaurant were great. This club maintains a classy and elegant atmosphere without the stuffy and pretentious attitudes found at the other nearby clubs, so it's got the best of both. Would highly recommend.

The In and Out Naval and Military club is a private club by membership or invitation only. Wonderful atmosphere and service. Great place to meet. Has many authentic historical items. Delicious food and coffee.

Great place! To visit, to lunch, to dine, to sit in the courtyard in summer, to stay, to meet friends, to have a drink at the several bars, to have a meeting in the board room or the coffee room or the Brasserie, to have a swim, to do sports, to remain in the West end! Very nice staff.

Lovely location Beautiful interior

Great experience at this london venue where i attended a regency ball. Well worth the visit even withthe london traffic.

An extremely happy occasion for my husband's 80th Birthday. The food was delicious, the company amazing and the service impeccable. It will be a joy to return in the future.

The guys are kind, but you need to register by phone first and then come.

What an amazing club. Beautiful building set in the heart of 'club land'. Wonderful lunch with fantastic service by well trained staff. I shall look forward to my next visit.

First class dining, service and wines. Outstanding!

Very nice ambience and friendly staff. Nice Jubilee party today. Excellent event this evening and nice meal. Another excellent event for Coronation. Great atmosphere as always. Another great Trafalgar night event. Thanks to everyone for a brilliant evening.

Members only. But the best club in London

Nice place, but the food is not very impressive

One of the prestige private clubs in London with great history, comfortable accommodation, superb location, facilities, and high quality food. Cocktails were impressive, homemade pie and Coupe in and out was delicious.

It's my club and it keeps getting better. F&B is stylish, the building well-kept and outstandingly led. The arrival of a younger membership has reinvigorated events. However, the dress code has loosened intentionally, and it's observance even more so. Casual clothes, backpacks, and business calls proliferate now. It's less of a place for proper attire and behaviours and in the day you could mistake it for an upmarket university conference centre. Notwithstanding, it remains my home from home.

I was at the In and out to shoot a wedding, the venue is fantastic the staff very accommodating. Great food and drinks as well

More formal than some clubs, but sometimes it’s just what you need.

This is an exclusive members only club. Good food in a formal atmosphere.

Amazing members club, always an enjoyable visit.

First time visit. A fabulous dinner and a wonderful venue.

Stunning club; love the ambiance

If you like old fashioned style and service then this is the place for you. But having been to many international modern members clubs 'its not my cup of tea' as they say. The location is excellent though.

Fantastic club. I’m a Reciprocal member visiting from Edinburgh and it’s a true London Institution

I waited while ppl played in band. So didn't really use the club.

Oasis of peace and quiet. Wonderful atmosphere

A very nice place to stay but expensive if you are not a member. Cost me £239.00 for a one night stay including a couple of drinks and breakfast.

Lovely club with great service and lots of history

Excellent location, great tradition and good atmosphere. Good place for meetings, an excellent bar and proper traditional dining. As this is a member only private club I did not take any indoor pictures.

Great indoor & excellent design.

Amazing building full of historic icons that are never seen anywhere but here. As you walk through the club you see the heritage and the gravity of what it was to what it is today. Amazing place for dinner or meetings

Beautiful venue with the friendliest staff and services

Best club in London by far. Great mix of business and Social with a fantastic Gym and great food.

Very nice drink here on Remeberance Sunday. Lovely atmos8snd the staff were delightful.

This place is my home from home. Super location, super facilities, super food/drink and staff that feel like friends. I love having membership here.

I photographed Debbie and Davids beautiful wedding day this past summer here. I highly recommend it, and look out for the amazing staircase and also the park opposite - makes for some lovely group and couple photos. Philip Quinnell Photography

It was a honour to be taken there for lunch. Fabulous location and excellent staff.

Was taken to lunch by my colleague a former military person and it was lovely. The food was simple but plentiful. I had a 3 egg omelette with cheese and ham and a generous portion of fries which was delicious. The prosecco was thoroughly enjoyable too. The service was outstanding and accommodating to our dietary needs. Overall a lovely lunch and hope to attend again.

I love how Google describes this as a "social club" eh up lad!

The restaurant is clean, fresh ingredients, tasty plates and perfect amount. Great happy hour. Service is always professional and well staffed. Food is wonderful. Romantic environment, quite silent.. Love the place.

I really feel at home here- the staff are so friendly & accommodating.The whole place is magnificent, so well maintained. The rooms have been upgraded to a very high standard, even with AC now (which I dislike intensely). Curry lunch- very generous & a good price.The reception rooms are fabulous.I also love the Goat Bar, tucked away in the basement.

I am not a member of this Club but I do have lunch there quite often when one of the members invites me. It is a very agreeable Club , and the food and service is excellent.

I love this place, great service, food, people rooms, gym and pool, proud to be a member. Location ideal, outdoor terrace, state rooms etc all brilliant

I accompanied a member. Lovely, quiet location.. Magnificent decor and polite staff. Food good. Very convenient for tourism or meetings

You must be a member or a member of a club with reciprocity to buy accommodation. As reciprocal members, we have frequently stayed at the club, perhaps 8 times or more in the past 15 years or so. Initially on their move to St James Square the rooms were pretty crummy, with sagging creaky floors, linoleum bathroom floors and old plumbing. Now td, the rooms have been upgraded to modern hotel standards, though still not air conditioned. As a reciprocal member you can book no earlier than 6 months in advance, which is what we always do for our usual 6-8 day annual London trip. But beware, there are reasonably decent rooms and other rooms in the non elevated block of 1-25, a minimal window, quite small and more suitable as single rooms, often no bathtub and where the double bed eliminated the space for your suitcase. In two of the past 4 stays we have been relegated to such a room, due to "a wedding" booked no doubt after we booked though one would think rooms should be allocated on a first come first served basis. Still, the price even though much higher as reciprocal members, is a bargain compared with nearby hotels.

This old club is now turned into a hotel of sorts, and its front part looking into the St. James's square is very grand, while the back entrance has improved and is now quite agreeable. The rooms are incredibly small but clean and functional, and it is fun to feel a part of the old traditional club-style.

Just 3 min from Piccadilly Circus, if you use the rear entrance. An amazing, cosy business room. One of the best courtyards & the lovely Goat Bar downstairs.

Una habitación tan hermosaEn realidad estaba ocupado, probablemente debido al cambio de restauración.Buen almuerzo de 3 platos: el salmón se servía en una cama de repollo crujiente y puré de papas.Buenos vinos y buen servicio.Comida fresca, recién cocida es el camino a seguir.

Feeling privileged to take part in a work function there I found the experience a little deflatingThe food was of good quality, the outdoor terrace was fantastic but the place needs a bit of money spending on it and the staff need to cheer up.Cocktail reception was slow, and food service was really slow, wine service was v poorI am convinced it can offer an excellent experience but needed some energy injecting into it

Visité el club como miembros recíprocos. Me senté en el patio que es brillante en un día soleado. Muy buen café y tapas de excelente calidad. Llegamos después de unos meses y la calidad de la comida y la bebida ha mejorado aún más desde que se llevaron el servicio de catering. Lugar agradable.

La qualità del cibo indiscutibile. La location di classe come il servizio.Siamo stati qui invitati dall'azienda per cui lavoro con altri colleghi.Che dire.......uno spettacolo! Vale tutti i pence pagati.

Staying in a friendly atmosphere with staff who can't do enough is part of the ethos conveyed by this establishment. Being in central London and near to Piccadilly and Leicester Square was a great advantage.

We were invited by friends who are members of this club. Everyone was friendly and it had a good atmosphere. The meal was splendid and in sumptuous surroundings. There were high standards in everything.

The club is a typical members club. It has an entrance at St James and one at the back (for sports/informal wear entry). Nice sitting area when you enter but cant work there which is a disadvantage. There is a lovely out door which is great on a nice day. Food is served outside which is a good menu.

会員制のクラブなので、会員からの招待を入手するか提携クラブの会員であることが利用の必須条件です。格式の高いクラブなのでしょう、レセプションでの受付は非常に慇懃で、メインダイニングで夕食をとりたいと伝えると、「席はあるが予約が必要」とのことで、その場で予約をとり、館内を見学した後にレストランへ向かいました。室内は非常に豪華な印象で、大きな絵画が所狭しと並んでおり、まるで美術館の中で食事しているよう。窓からはSt. James Squareを見下ろすことができ、夕暮れ時に刻一刻と暗くなっていく窓からの風景を楽しみながら、素晴らしい食事とワインを楽しみました。

No podía creerlo, abierto los domingos, fantástico.

All very pleasant if you like the idea of a London club. Not sure about membership fees but lunch, including the wine, was very reasonable as are the rooms apparently and it is in a lovely, quiet location. Food was very good but choice limited.

Acabo de regresar de una visita a In and Out, me encanta este lugar, ya que es muy céntrico y el personal es encantador, agradable para hospedarse en un lugar donde los modales y el comportamiento educado son fundamentales, las habitaciones deben haber sido renovadas desde nuestra última estancia y ahora son realmente encantadoras El desayuno siempre es bueno aquí y los teléfonos están prohibidos en la sala de desayunos. así que eso es un punto a favor, espero mi próximo viaje de regreso

This was our second visit to this club, a very enjoyable experience. On our first visit we had dinner in their dining room, excellent staff, food and service in a beautiful room. This time had a relaxing drink at their bar.

Great location, friendly service & fantastic refurbished rooms. The reception rooms are very classical. The Bar is beautiful & not expensive.

I have been a member of the In & Out for over 50 years and have rarely been disappointed by the atmosphere, food, wine or service. To dine ehre is a privilege which I much enjoy

Visited here as reciprocal member recently. Food was excellent in the courtyard. Staff were fantastic, very knowledgeable re food and more importantly, the wines to accompany.

A beautiful Club with spectacular Rooms & Bars. I had a lovely roast dinner one night with some good house wines. The Club has a nice but small Gym/Pool & two squash Courts. A lovely Courtyard too.

We attended a wedding held at the club over the weekend. It is an impressive club with grand function rooms, impressive displays and paintings. However, I find it rather odd that the reception is at another entrance down the hallway whereas the main entrance to the building is at St James Square. Staff are friendly and offer good waiting service. Although the rooms look recently decorated with mod cons, they are rather small and the rates are overpriced in comparison with other establishments. We were disappointed on our final morning when the hotel had no hot water. The boiler had broken down. To be fair, the management did finally give a discount upon checkout. Overall, it is a quaint club hotel with excellent food, beers and wine.

There was no atmosphere, food was ok, cheese squares in bread crumbs were ok. The Venison had fatty sinue and was not respected or cut up properly and the main course had to many onions and swede.

Este es un club privado situado en las excavaciones de la plaza vieja en Astor Saint James. Un hermoso edificio de mantenimiento muy bueno, queridos y atendidos por la Junta.

Great service, great beers and wine. Very comfortable environment. The menu is very nice and the restaurant very affordable.

Tenemos los derechos recíprocos con este club a través de nuestro club en Australia y en nuestro reciente viaje a Londres pensamos en probar 1 club por semana para el almuerzo. Enviamos este club a la señora encargada en la cafetera para hacer una reserva y aunque ella no responda, después llegamos el día no había reserva de plaza y no conseguir una mesa en la ventana a pesar de que había dos mesas vacías todo el tiempo! El menú era muy limitado y el huevo crudo era una auténtica disuasión! ! Lo dejé en el lado de la placa y nadie preguntó cómo disfrutamos de la comida o si todo estaba bien. El pan estaba duro. La coca cola Light era tan planas como una tack! Para los precios que cobran, realmente. . No te preocupes viene aquí para el almuerzo, disfrute de una bebida tal vez podrías conseguir un servicio mucho mejor en cualquier otro lugar en Londres! !

Yo me uní al club invitado por mi jefe de mi división (ya miembro de este club) para una estancia larga de tiempo, durante un período de 3 años alrededor de 2000. Lo que un edificio fabuloso, lleno de historia militar, carácter, encanto y en algunos aspectos un club típicamente británico en la ciudad.

Lovely rooms, each uniquely different and very British. Excellent breakfast with friendly efficient waiters in a beautiful dining room. All the staff very helpful and welcoming. Good business center, and function areas. Centrally located in a lovely area of London.

I eat here regularly. The Coffee Room (restaurant) is expensive and formal. The service is good, but the dinner somewhat overpriced.

Have been staying here for almost a decade. We love the rooms. Love the staff. Love the location. Great breakfast too.

Soy miembro de este club y estoy encantado con el personal, son cálidos, conocedores de la zona y siempre servicial. A menudo viajo solo y me siento como en casa allí

Du petit-déjeuner à une séance de travail en meeting, aux déjeuners absolument Parfait à tous égard qu'ils nous arrivent de commander, voire aux "Coffee break...", il évidemment plus qu'agréable d'être reçu comme nous le sommes par l'ensemble de cette Noble et Vénérable Maison et de ses Personnels.Une Merveille de Style et de Cadre "So British..." I love it !

Este es un gran club, antiguo y me quedé encantado de haber podido visitar. Te hacen sentir como si estuvieras en un enclave lejos del bullicio de la ciudad y todos los artefactos militares son realmente interesantes. Buenos sandwiches y un personal servicial.

This restaurant has everything. A beautiful dining room, very good service, wonderful menu and great food. A wonderful evening with good views across St James's Square. Very nice wine list

I have had both lunch and dinner here and they are quite consistent with the quality of food and dining arrangements. What I like most of all is the peaceful, private atmosphere inside. I felt very much at home. The decor is not as modern as I would like, but this is down to preference. I like new buildings and very modern decor. Still I like that the stick to the theme which works well with the naval and military club. Please note you must be a member or be a guest of a member when the member visits. I quite enjoyed all the times I have visited.

As a member am I bias? Yes... Am I right? Yes!A fantastic place with great staff. Good rooms and an attached health club. The club has a great history. Beware of the dress code if visiting.

A friend has just joined the club and invited me for lunch, he was recommended it by some colleagues from his division. What a fabulous building, steeped in military history, character, charm and in some respect a typically British club in the city. The welcoming and engaging staff are excellent, we then dined in the coffee club and I must say it was fabulous.My friend enjoyed two courses of exquisitely presented dishes, I enjoyed perfectly cooked scallops, balanced with a delicate salad. Main course was a fabulous cut of fillet steak with a breadcrumbs and horseradish topping, served with sweet potato gratin and steamed broccoli. It was excellent beautifully cooked and presented. A great lunch in a fabulous location. The dress code is formal but is upheld and suits the location. Overall another fabulous restaurant discovered in the heart of London.

My husband and I have a reciprocal agreement with Royal Canadian Military Institute in Canada, so I stayed at this Naval Club recently with a business colleague. The setting is superb London, beautiful area. Elegant Dining Room with lovely full breakfast. Rooms simple but clean and well-serviced. We found the street quiet and a bit of walk to find taxis and even further for public transit. Parking limited. Still a quintessential London experience.

one of my favourite clubs in london. top location, excellent choice of bars and restuarants. a very relaxed atmosphere, ties to be worn front of house. rooms are simple, but perfect for getting your head down.

This year my wife and I were able to enjoy our stay at The Naval and Military Club at St. James Square in London. The history of the club exuded from beautiful public and dining rooms that we enjoyed. Our membership in the Marine Memorial Association in San Francisco afforded us reciprocal membership of this closed London club. The location was wonderful, and afforded us a unique opportunity to explore the London you only read about, and see in films. The club has it's rules and it's ways of doing things. Of course, the club is really for members who use the club when in London, or on business trips. They really don't enjoy tourists and enforce small rules such as a dress code when using the front entrance of the club. Best to check the rules upon arrival rather than risk a small embarassment. But the location, in Piccadilly, a short walk from Green Park, and Westminster makes it a unique experience. If you can wrangle a visit, do.

A lovely building in such a wonderful location. After the recent lick of paint it received, the 'In & Out ' (as it is known) is back on form!The staff there are brilliant, massively polite, obliging and friendly.The dining experience is formal but comfortable, you can have a lovely meal then retire to one the drawing rooms for coffee sat in a big old leather sofa, my idea of bliss!

I love the in & out club. Had some yoghurt off the table to start followed by boiled eggs. Stunning dining room overlooking St. James's square and friendly service

This is a wonderful club with excellent food. The staff are very attentive without being intrusive. It is excellent value for money and a welcome retreat from the noise and crowds of London. You walk inside and leave it all behind. If you get a chance to go here or are thinking about joining don't hesitate and you won't regret it.

I was invited to lunch at The In and Out as it is fondly called and we had drinks in the bar first which was all men and they didn't seem to be at all bothered that a lady was having a glass of wine amongst them - a relief. The front desk is pretty fierce when vetting people who walk throughout the front door. I arrived before my host and was sternly asked to take a seat and wait which is correct but my club the Hurlingham is a bt more relaxed about this so you are a bot more warmly welcomed. the man ding room was simply excellent - great waitress - super menu - beetroot carpaccio and whipped goats cheese with edible micro cress - salmon on some sort of pea puree with something else in it that was delicious. Could nt work it out - we skipped pudding as the bread tray was brought around twice and we couldn't resist it. White burgundy by the glass. all in all a great experience. But it's primarily a men's club and although women are happily there - one could feel slightly like you were the odd person out. A virtual rabbbit warren of corridors so hard to find the ladies cloakroom which was modern and nice. Casual for women.

Entirely agree with jancv. Impossible to sleep if you're overlooking the courtyard. Had anwful saturday night there in october. Don't believe the website. The noise doesn't stop at 11. It carried on well into the early hours. Like jancv, don't like to write a bad review but it was really disappointing considering it was such a perfect setting. Also, really important. If you arrive saturday, parking on the square is free saturday evening and all day sunday. The staff told me to park two blocks away and I'll get a discount. Cost me £48!

been member to this place since long, we always enjoyed out here. food is good and welcoming people. thanks for the inventor for this place.

Reviewing the accommodation rather than the Restaurant.....You cannot find a better area than St. James to stay in London however I have to say be very careful of staying here over weekends or anytime that there is a function. The noise in the courtyard and function rooms on the first floor makes sleeping impossible and the Club does not seem eager to do anything about it. How about telling us that functions will be happening when we book to give us the opportunity to go elsewhere. We were staying in the most expensive room in the Club and could hardly hear ourselves think let alone sleep because of the noise,which continued until midnight then to a lesser extent while staff cleaned up until about 12.45. Their Club rules state noise will be stopped at 11pm...when enquiring of the front desk we were then told noise will be continuing to midnight. Seems some rules apply and others don't.On the positive side...the position is fabulous...just minutes from Picadilly. The staff are also friendly and helpful. However, the number of times things were put on account that shouldn't have been seems that their lines of communication are not always clear.Even though understanding that this is an old building, the facilities are adequate but nothing special. Small things like blinds that don't reach either side of the window so there's light in your room all night, fairly inadequate blankets (cotton sheets, 1 cotton Blanket and brocade duvet cover with no duvet) and limited heating and this in their most expensive room....had to ask for extra blankets..Would I stay here again? Definitely not.....the noise issue arises whenever there is a function booked so happened fairly frequently during our stay. There's much better to be had in St James area and for probably not too much extra money....I do not lightly give bad reviews but I feel this one needs to get out there or there will be disappointment if you strike a function or 2 or 3 such as we did. Heaven help you if you have an early plane to catch.

I have been a member of this Club since the mid 2000s and formerly belonged to another London Club and during the course of business had reason to visit several others. The In and Out (as the club is informally known) is welcoming to women and non-military members and has, by virtue of compensation from real estate development work in the surrounding area, invested wisely in upgrading its facilities. Accommodation is first rate and a full-English breakfast overlooking St. James's Square whilst everyone else commutes to their office is a meal well worth savoring...

We have immediately booked to stay again Loved it! Very central part of Mayfair within easy reach of all regions of the West End. Very good breakfast and extremely pleasant staff. An extremely relaxing place to stay. Definitely recommend.

This is review for the Naval Military Club (In and Out)Pros - they have updated the bathroom facilities with modern shower, toilet and sink. Beds are small but comfortable. Plenty of task lighting. One big positive -- location -- about 400 yds from Piccadilly station. I understand the purpose of clubs like this -- that is how i made the reservation -- through my own military club -- but folks you are missing the mark when it comes to your guests. You think you are playing with the big leagues but you are still in t-ball.Cons - rooms are 6 ft x 8 ft sweaty cells. There is no exhaust in bathroom and the whole room gets upwards of 85 to 90 degrees when you take a shower. The only ventilation in the room comes from a cracked window, which has no screen or locking mechanism. I was afraid to lift it too much and break it more. I put the fan in the window to keep room cool, but everyday house keeping would take it out, put it away and close all the ventilation off --- so I came back from breakfast or a day of meetings --- to a sweat box.The Coffee room is okay -- the free breakfast is mostly cereal, sugar coated breads, sugared yogurts and sugar syrup coated fruits It wasn't until my last day -- that I was given a menu card for "hot breakfast" items. Im sure regular members know this -- but as a guest I didn't. The coffee in the coffee room is hideously bad - like it has been burning in that pot all week. It is free but don't bother if you are looking for lean proteins.Toilet paper and tissues are on a ration system. For my 5 days i had one 1/4 roll of TP and a box with one tissue. Tissues were never replaced and I went to the front desk for TP -- the attendant made a big fuss about getting a roll for me. (( did I search the room, etc )) If I would have known were to get it -- I would have got some myself thank you. In the end I went to Tesco and bought a roll so I didn't have to be berated by desk clerk again. (housekeeping was never seen or I would have asked them)The views are of brick walls and other maint equipment. See below.Rooms do not have working phones. There is phone bu t it is non-op. You have to guess the times for all facilities and/or you have to keep walking to the front desk (because there is no working phone in room) for things like internet password, meal options, ice.... you name it. I know it is not a hotel but a club -- but some sort of guide page would be helpful. You have like 40 signs about the dress code -- a 1 page list of hours and services shouldn t be that hard.Was asked about what paper I wanted ---but never received an issue of any newspaper. Didn't ask front desk -- too nasty about toilet paper --i didn't think the news was worth another berating.Stairs are very precarious if you are physically limited in any way. Prices vary ( For reciporal) A single is 180 pounds M-Th 80 pounds F-Su One hundred pound difference for the same 6 x 8 cell is very excessive. Supply and demand for London -- but 100 pounds will get you into a Marriott, Hyatt or Hilton -- and you don't have to be snapped at, looked down at or put up with bad manners.

Unless you have specific ties with the naval or armed forces, I think you would struggle to see the benefit of visiting this club. I felt honoured to be invited in and admittedly the whole venue was lighter and brighter than I expected - but the demographic here is grey and ageing, and the staff and offering are matched accordingly. Not bad, but also nothing special.

I have been staying at "The In and Out" for many years, each time I visit London.A few steps from Piccadilly Circus, it is the perfect location for theatre, dining, shopping and business in town.Staff are all very friendly and efficient and welcome you like a long lost family member.Dinner in The Coffee Room offers excellent food in elegant and gracious surroundings at very reasonable prices.A modern business centre had computer and printing facilities.Fast complimentary WiFi throughout the Club.Rooms are not large, but very comfortable and clean.

we were invited by a member to dine with his group in January.we enjoyed a set menu of 4 courses which offered traditionsl, quite formal dining in the forner Lady Astor bedroom! enjoyable, service was attentive without being intrusive.if you get the opporuinty do try it.

A nice place to stay for a short stay in London in a wonderful location close to everything.The splendid building itself is a must see and the rooms are fully convenient and equipped, even if the single ones are small and sometimes noisy in the morning when the cleaning staff arrives.A warm welcome and help from the staff at the reception and very efficient service for breakfast and in the bar. Free High speed wifi and TV in the rooms. Very modern and clean bathrooms and showers.

Superb Xmas lunch in a friendly atmosphere - really good chef - unfortunately he is off to new pastures after 3 years or so but I'm assured his replacement will be as good. Good wines too. An excellent club in the heart of London.

Un lugar que destaca la sobriedad y flema británica.Se come bien, se está bien atendido, el servicio es impecableQué más se puede pedir

The Naval and Military is fearfully pompous when an approach is made for a booking from members of reciprocal clubs. Unlike some smarter London clubs, reciprocal membership cards aren't enough (why not?) - the would-be guest has to go to all the trouble of getting their home club to send an email confirming membership (are there really so many fraudulent attempts to make bookings which justifies all this palaver?)Unfortunately, the club doesn't quite match the expectations that such an obstacle course encourages. Our room on the fourth floor had to be reached through a long labyrinth of corridors and, when finally arrived at, was poky, in my view, (although others in my party found its size 'cozy'). Despite an opening window onto St James's Square, with no air conditioning it would be uncomfortable in warm weather, (as other reviews confirm). Most unforgiveably, for a place that sees itself as a proper London club, it doesn't provide the usual shoe cleaning equipment in the gents. There are building works next door which start noisily from about 7am. We didn't try the dining room ('Coffee Room') but, on the positive side, there are fine public rooms on the ground floor, the mattress was very comfortable and the bathroom was ok.

We stayed here for 2 nights attending a wedding.The room was small with no air conditioning and very hot, the en suite was again small but adequate with the basics supplied.Continental breakfast was included, this was excellent with attentive staff topping up tea,coffee and toast and a great selection of pasties, fresh fruit and yogurts. An option of cooked food at extra cost was offered but not needed.The function food was again excellent, with lovely freshly prepared food served quickly and efficiently, with special requests never too much trouble.Overall the food and staff were as we would expect at such a venue, the accommodation is clean and tidy, but some of the double rooms could really do with being singles, and I am sure some air conditioning could at least be added to the communal areas without spoiling the character of a lovely building.
