The charmingly eccentric India Club Restaurant has remained much the same since its opening over 50 years ago.
Hidden up a flight of stairs, India Club is part of London's history. It was originally set up by the India League, as a symbol of post-independence friendship and understanding between India and the UK. In the post-independence era it quickly became a platform for India League activities and a meeting place for various Indo-British groups.
Today, enter a timewarp with portraits of the Independence era on the walls, bottle-green leather chairs, red lino flooring and wooden laminate tabletops. It is a British curry house of the first generation. Authentic ‘home cooked’ South Indian cuisine at extraordinary value makes India Club an unforgettable dining experience.

India Club Lounge-Bar has retained its colonial decor and could have been transported from another era.

It is part of Westminster's community and history.
Whether you are looking to relax with an afternoon coffee or host a private party - India Club Lounge-Bar has something for everyone. The bar and adjoining lounge room have been hired out in the past for fashion shows, theatre productions and photography exhibitions.

THE NATIONAL TRUST & THE INDIA CLUB
We are proud to announce the National Trust held an exhibition, "Home-away-from-home" on the rich social history of the India Club at 143 Strand.
Based around a newly-formed archive of oral history interviews, the exhibition threw a light on the lives and stories of those who saw the Club as a ‘home-away-from-home’ from the late 1950s to the present day. The oral histories gathered for the exhibition are now permanently housed at the British Library.
The India Club also featured in the National Trust's Heritage Open Days 2019, with the theme of People Power.
All our staff have completed an online Covid-19 training course. They are trained to deliver frequent and thorough deep cleaning and disinfecting procedures throughout the building. They wear full-face shields.
