The Army & Navy Club was originally founded for former and serving officers of the British and Commonwealth Armed Services, and their immediate relatives. Founded in August 1837, the year Queen Victoria acceded to the Throne, the Club was formed to meet the needs of the many army officers wanting to join a Service Club, most of which were already full. The great Duke of Wellington said he would become neither a patron nor a Member unless membership was also offered to officers of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines. Hence, the "Army Club" became the Army and Navy Club. The Club's distinguished forebears include Lieutenant General Sir Edward Barnes, the first President who, as Adjutant General, fought, sword in hand, at the Battle of Waterloo, and Admiral Sir Philip Durham, one of Nelson's "Band of Brothers" who commanded HMS Defiance at the Battle of Trafalgar.

The Main Library
The Main Library in the Club, overlooking the gardens in St James's Square, is a haven of calmness and peace that allows members to take their time in browsing the wide selection of books on military and maritime history, as well as those on current global and geopolitical aspects of military and maritime affairs. 

Spaces – 15 maximum
