Post Type Description

Waterloo Room

Written by Colour Cubed on . Posted in Reception Rooms.

The Waterloo Room is an elegant, understated room overlooking St James’s Square and serves light refreshments or a drink from the bar.  Newspapers, magazines and a writing desk are additional elements of this attractive room.

It is in this elegant room overlooking St James’s Square that on 21 June 1815, Major Henry Percy presented the Prince Regent with four captured French eagles and Wellington’s victory despatch from the Battle of Waterloo. The news was then announced from the balcony to the crowds that had gathered below. The room has changed little from that day, and it is easy to imagine Major Percy arriving in a chaise and four bearing the historic news.

The Smoking Room is located on the first floor directly above the main dining room and, day to day, is provided with daily newspapers, magazines, chess boards and writing desks. Glorious Chesterfield club chairs and sofas adorn this bright and airy room which provides a tranquil haven to sit and read or talk to friends, with light refreshment served by the club stewards.

Dining Room

The main Dining Room of the club is normally reserved for members’ use and for major club functions and dinners. However by special arrangement the room can be made available on a limited number of days in the year for private dinners for up to 120 guests. Looking over the Square and the lit gas flambeaux, one could be dining in a different age. Fine food from the club’s adjacent kitchens, wine from our cellars extending beneath St James’s Square and the ambience of this fine room makes a dinner at the East India Club a very special occasion.

A beautiful room, smaller but with the same facilities as the Dining Room, the East India Room is one of the club’s great rooms.

Canadian Room

Written by Colour Cubed on . Posted in Dining Rooms.

The central portion of the East India Club was severely damaged by enemy action in the Second World War. Shortage of supply of building materials and strict controls caused serious problems in rebuilding. The Canadian Forces whose officers were welcomed by the Club during the war came to the rescue and generously donated the necessary timber that was shipped direct from Vancouver. The Canadian Room and the American Bar beneath are so named as a gesture of thanks for this act of friendship.

The Canadian Room is a favourite location for lunch or dinner and can accommodate 60 for a reception or 36 diners. Situated on the first floor with its own bar, the timbered room makes an ideal location for a private luncheon, dinner or reception.
