East India Club, Private gentlemen's club in St James's Square, London
The East India Club occupies a Grade II listed building at number 16 St James's Square, featuring traditional dining rooms and meeting spaces across multiple floors.
Founded in 1849 for East India Company officers and military personnel, the club received Prince Albert as its first patron during the Victorian era.
The club maintains separate spaces including the American Bar, Canadian Room, Drawing Room, and a library where members gather for intellectual discussions.
Members have access to 67 bedrooms, a gymnasium, sauna facilities, and a billiard room, with reciprocal arrangements at over 100 clubs worldwide.
The club's embezzlement case in 2014 revealed a staff member had taken £500,000 over five years before detection and subsequent legal proceedings.
