For those who have dedicated their careers to public service, the Civil Service Club offers a unique opportunity to stay connected, enjoy affordable comforts, and celebrate shared experiences in the heart of London.
Founded as a gift from Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and now honoured by the patronage of His Majesty The King, the Club continues to serve as a proud, member-run institution for current and former Civil Servants. Housed in a charming Victorian fire station near Whitehall, it remains a place where tradition meets hospitality.
Outstanding Value The Club’s bistro style bars offer excellent food and drink at prices well below typical London venues—something many members say is “outstanding value for money.” Members can also enjoy reasonably priced accommodation just steps from London’s historic landmarks.
The Club also provides a safe, inclusive environment where members can relax, meet friends, and enjoy the company of fellow Civil Servants. It’s a place where shared experiences are celebrated and new friendships are formed.
Events That Bring People Together The Club hosts a wide variety of social events throughout the year, including speaker evenings, wine tastings, guided walks, and the much-loved annual outing to The Derby. It’s also a popular venue for private functions such as retirements, luncheons, and reunions—ideal for reconnecting with old colleagues and friends.
Membership That Rewards You Annual membership starts at just £50, with spouse and partner options available. Members benefit from birthday and discount vouchers, a loyalty scheme, and reduced rates on holiday insurance. For those aged 60 and over, life membership offers excellent value—with further reductions for those aged 70 and above.
Who Can Join? Membership is open to all retired, former, and serving Civil Servants, including those from Government Agencies, NDPBs, and His Majesty’s Diplomatic Service. We also have Associate membership options. Spouses, Partners, Widows, Widowers and Bereaved Partners are warmly welcomed.
What Members Say I’m 80 and live 60 miles away, but the Club is worth the journey,” says Reginal M. “The location, service, and value are second to none.” Alison D remarks, “I had walked past many times before stepping inside and imagined a stuffy gentlemen’s club but discovered a refreshing and affordable haven in the heart of Whitehall.” “Food and drink excellent value for money,” says Veronika A. “Love it there! With brilliant friendly staff and great value for money! It is an oasis in all the madness.”
If you’re looking for a place that honours your service and offers a warm welcome, the Civil Service Club may be just what you’ve been missing.
