I've just rejoined the VSC (Victory Services Club) so for anyone of you that has ever worn the uniform get youself signed up. There is a £20 a year membership fee for ex forces but even if you only use it once in a year its well worth it. Where else can you get into a decent central London hotel for £30 a night!

Incidentally, you are allowed to book for up to four guests, whether you are present or not.

Location is at the bottom of Edware Road, next to Marble Arch and car parking is £14 a day (congestion charge zone though)

Thats the UJC (Union Jack Club) trouble is that you can't get a room there these days, because of a clause that makes MP's temporary members, its full of them paying £59 a night and claiming their £200 a night subsistence.

The VSC is better anyway although the bar is cheaper at the UJC

Location: Just down the road from the Telstar
I stayed at the UJC for a month, while I was on a resettlement course in London. It was quite a smart place then, but that was over 30 years ago.
