In & Out Club Information

In & Out (Naval and Military Club), St James’s

Nordic Balance is located within the In and Out (Naval and Military Club, a private members’ club located in the heart of London’s esteemed St James’s Square. Once the home of Lady Nancy Astor, it has a rich history spanning over 150 years, and the building itself, at No. 4 St James’s Square, is over 340 years old.

Our gym, accessed via the courtyard and situated in the basement of the club’s building, occupies what used to be the old kitchen. While we’ve recently modernised the space with our Scandinavian design, we’ve retained much of its historical charm; you can still see the old cast iron ovens in the functional studio!

The In and Out (Naval and Military Club) welcomes both ladies and gentlemen, including Armed Forces officers and offers a unique blend of tranquillity and vibrant social activities for its members and their guests.

The club has two entrances: the formal front entrance, which upholds cherished traditions with a strict dress code, and the Babmaes Street entrance, just off Jermyn Street, which leads to a relaxed business centre, well-appointed accommodations, a state-of-the-art gym, and an inviting swimming pool.

Members and their guests can enjoy exquisite dining, elegant banquets, and a convivial bar atmosphere. The lavish State rooms suit a range of events, while the peaceful courtyard offers a tranquil oasis in the bustling city.

For accommodations, the club offers fifty-two en-suite bedrooms at competitive rates, ensuring guests a comfortable and memorable stay.

As Nordic Balance finds its home within the In and Out, club members can enjoy exclusive wellness services and facilities in this prestigious, historically rich setting.
