London is full of venues, ready and waiting for your special occassion. But, you'd be hard pressed to find one with the history, glamour and in such an iconic spot, as The In & Out Naval and Military Club.
The club has long been a private space for Officers of the Royal Navy, the Royal Marines, the Army and the Royal Air Force to socialise, work and enjoy events, situated within a 17th-century townhouse in St James, one of London's most illustrious areas. While non-members aren't usually allowed entry, the club welcomes private dining and event bookings, meaning you can take your pick of this special building's many spaces.
For an all-out party, perhaps for a wedding reception or a company shindig, The Coffee Room is the largest space with capacity for 100 people while seated, and 200 for a drinks reception. With red walls, golden ceilings and imposing oil paintings hanging around the space, it certainly brings a feeling of atmosphere and drama. Equally, The King Harald V Room is also divine, with a capacity for 74 seated for dinner, 100 in theatre lay-out and 100 while standing, too.
Elaborate ceiling cornicing and plaster alongside a sparkling, white chandelier make this room stand out as a unique beauty. If looking to host an important meeting, The Cowdray Library is an inspiring setting with polished, dark wooden book shelves and antique furniture, with enough space for 11.
While The V.A.D. Room boasts a boardroom table that can accommodate 16 people. You might enjoy booking a work space in the daytime, and treating your colleagues or clients to a drinks reception after meetings have wrapped up.
The Canning Room is very smart with a gorgeous fireplace and space for standing receptions of 40, or you could head outside to a lovely Courtyard which is all-weather appropriate.
