Going to or passing through London? The Union Jack Club is a club for non-commissioned serving and veteran members of HM Forces and their families. Located adjacent to London Waterloo Station, the club has over 260 rooms for accommodation (singles, twins, doubles, fully accessible, family, suite and flats), restaurant, bar, and a small library.
The idea for the club came from Ethel McCaul, a nurse who served in field hospitals during the South African War at the start of the 20th century. She noted that while officers enjoyed membership of various gentlemen’s clubs in London, no equivalent existed for enlisted personnel and was adamant that servicemen and their families should have somewhere to stay at no more of a cost than one day’s pay.
HM King Charles Ⅲ is the Patron-in-Chief.
