Naval Club in Mayfair
 

This looks like a great place to use to visit London. Anybody got any feedback plus does membership allow entry to other clubs?

Cheers

Free lifetime admission to the Blue Oyster Club, ISTR..:E

lol - legal I suppose !

Oh! Suits you Sir! Oh!

Good club but bloomin bloomin expensive and a bit Naval. If you don't mind walking into the bar and having to excuse your rig to the doddering old fella in the corner then its ok. You may find this place cheaper and more friendly.

If you are no longer serving you could try this place as it's just off Marble Arch. 'Tis a city centre bargain.

Funny that, being a Naval Club!!

Used the Victory Services club myself...Reasonable rates for that part of London..

It is just off the Edgare road which in the early evening is like walking through a souk..

Bedrooms are a bit basic...remind me of the Gateway at BZN. Bar is new and a good starting point for a like minded bunch of chaps hell bent on a night of mischief...my top lip is glistening at the thought!!

Had a bar lunch at the Naval Club yesterday. Club is quite small, staff willing but amateur. Club comfy but a little worn at the edges.

I am told membership is relatively easy to get unlike the RAF Club, which is much superior.

Club is conveniently located in the corner, a little behind Park Lane and Piccadilly. Good area for sightseeing. Close to various embassies so police presence in the area is high. Parking scarce and expensive.

By the way, the bar lunch was pretty poor.

C&B

southside - UJC looks good but says it is for people quote "below commissioned rank" - therefore no officer's allowed?

VSC clubs looks good as well - might give that a go.

The In and Out Club at 4 St James's Square is top value for FAAOA members.:ok:

Good Club, and NOT expensive as 'southside' thought. FAAOA members always welcome. Excellent weekend B&B rates. Dress regulations more liberal than most London clubs. See www.navalclub.co.uk

I found the RAF Club rather easy to join, maybe because I fulfill the membership requirements, like being an RAF officer!

The Union Jack Club does allow officers in but you pay a little more than the ORs, almost on a par with the RAF Club. The rooms are basic but it's a fine bolthole for a night out, especially if your train gets into Waterloo as it's just over the pedestrian crossing from the station.

IIRC we used to call it the "in" "out" club. Fine establishment.

Ring, ring....


"UJC, Can I help you?"

"Can I book onto th UJC for the night please?"

"Certainly Sir. Are you an Officer or Other Rank"

"Whats the difference?"

"£25 per night"

"I'm an Other rank thanks"

"excellent, your confirmed as booked in"
