The Naval and Military Club is a gentlemen's club in London, England. It was founded in 1862 because the three then existing military clubs in London – the United Service, the Junior United Service, and the Army and Navy – were all full. Membership was long restricted to military officers. This is no longer the case, but it still has a predominantly military and ex-military membership; the dress code specifies jacket and tie for gentlemen, but adds "Military dress can, of course, also be worn". Like many London gentlemen's clubs it has also opened its membership to women.]
The club was once based at Cambridge House in Piccadilly opposite Green Park and came to be known as the "In and Out" from the prominent signs on the building's separate vehicle entrance and exit gates. The club purchased its current premises at 4 St. James's Square, which were the London home of Nancy Astor and her husband from 1912 to 1942, in 1996, and after a programme of refurbishment it took up occupancy in 1999. To commemorate its nickname, the words "In" and "Out" flank the portico of the house.
It closely co-operates with and shares its premises with the Norwegian association Den Norske Klub and the Canning Club (formerly Argentine Club).
As of 2009, the membership subscription costs £895 but somewhat less for country members. An additional entrance fee is payable for the first year.[1] Notable past members include Robert Falcon Scott, T.E. Lawrence, Rudyard Kipling and Ian Fleming.[2]
In 2011 Cambridge House, in disrepair, was acquired by property tycoons David and Simon Reuben.[3] There are plans to convert the Grade I Listed Building into a 48-room private house.
