Operator: Special Forces Club
8 Herbert Crescent, Knightsbridge, London, SW1X 0EZ (View on Google Map)
No website available

This is a club, which means that the bar may be only open to members.

In a street very close to Harrods and without any signage on the door to indicate what it is, this must be one of London's most secretive clubs! It was founded in 1945. Membership, male and female of all ranks, is mainly drawn from present or past members of British and friendly allied Special Forces, the intelligence community, and others whose work reflects the club's ethos. Members include some current holders of the Victoria and George Cross, and the club's patron is the Princess Royal. Great stress is placed on the personal qualities of applicants before they are admiitted to membership.

Facilities include a dining room and bar, and some accommodation. Various of the clubrooms are named after countries or individuals from them who assisted our WWII effort. The Club is famous for its display of photographs of members of wartime SOE and OSS, and those from the post war era; members killed in action have a black frame to their photograph.

Following severe financial problems earlier in this century, the club is now on a firm financial footing and has a strong programme of guest speakers and events.

The website is member-login only!
