Douglas House, 66 Lancaster Gate London.

Only a few steps from Speakers Corner and the Marble Arch Underground Station, this combination Airman's/NCO club served as a center of activity for almost all who served in Great Britain.

It had a great Bar, decent food, and fair accommodations. If they were full, they would book you a room nearby for about the same price as one at the club hotel.

You could see a floor show three nights a week in their entertainment room with top names on the bill.
