I have enjoyed using the club for many years, although (as I mentioned in earlier posts) I do find it frustrating that serving officers can't get a room within the MOD night subsistence rates (B&B) and typically end up in some sh!tty hotel near Victoria Station or on the Bayswater Road
It's a shame the Gremlin Club is no more. It was in Craven Hill Gardens, just off the Bayswater Road. Thirty bob a night including breakfast and the bar opened when the pubs shut at 3pm. The food was excellent and so was the crumpet. Mind you that was in 1962

Seriously it opened during the war for Allied Aircrew. I preferred to stay there rather than the RAF Club, especially with a young or not so young lady in tow!
