Union Jack Club
Officers can stay as Temporary honorary members see
Membership Application - Union Jack Club : Union Jack Club
Damn, and I thought the place was more exclusive than to let the rabble in

I have been a member of 128 for well over 40 years.
These days, living "Oop North" I don't get to stay very often, but I wouldn't dream of giving up my membership. I think it offers great value.
When I do visit I am always warmly welcomed by the staff and, like many others, I find the place to be an oasis of peace in the centre of London. I always manage to find a mate, or at least a like-minded individual in the Running Horse.
If people want an excellent, cheaper option try the Victory Services Club - £35 per year for me and SWMBO. (We're members so that we have a fallback position if the RAF Club rooms are fully booked when we want to stay in town).

Yep, as said above - Officers can use the UJ club, but cannot join as members.
The guy on the door does like to check for ID, but as I am a 'Retired' VR(T) Officer with no ID card, he was quite happy to accept a standard letter issued by HQAC when I resigned.
I believe you can just pop in and use the bar / restaurant if you wish...providing you get through the doorman again.
They also have a useful bag safe service, last time I was there if you were staying it was free or a £1 a day (IIRC) to leave as many bags as you like, very handy if you plan a bit of sightseeing and don't want to lug cases around.
