Victory Services Club description
Commercial Venue
Medium (1-150)
The Club was founded in 1907 by Major Arthur Haggard who had a clear mission: to promote ‘esprit de corps’ within the military, by uniting members of the Armed Forces after he witnessed destitute veterans on London’s streets after returning from the Second Boer War.
The Club hasn’t always been on the prestigious Seymour Street. It was originally named the Veterans Association and located in rooms above the Cittie of Yorke pub in High Holborn (which remains in business today). As the demand for accommodation grew following the two World Wars and the Great Depression, the charity moved to Bedford Row where it was able to offer more (80) bedrooms.
After the sudden death of then President Field Marshal Viscount Allenby in 1936, the Club was renamed in his memory The Allenby (Services) Club. Launching the newly-named Club in October 1936, the Secretary of State for War said:
