The spot in central London will be on September 17.
Another iconic place to eat in London is closing.
Following Le Gavroche’s imminent departure from this culinary circle, comes the news of the end of the mighty India Club at The Strand, which will close its doors next month. Not as much as Michel Roux Jr. ‘s place in Mayfair, but just as legfinishary. The India Club has been housed at the Strand Continental Hotel since 1946 and has its roots in the Indian League, which campaigned for the country’s independence.
The India Club has been at risk from developers for some time and it turns out they eventually had to succumb, with Hot Dinners reporting that a luxury hotel would update the existing building. All this despite a post-Covid crowdfunding crusade and an ongoing National Trust exhibition site in 2019 that celebrated the restaurant’s cultural significance.
Fans of the restaurant, adding that the writer, former son of one of the restaurant’s founders, Shashi Tharoor, expressed sadness at the closure of the India Club.
The last day of service will be Sept. 17. This gives you just under a month to dine on some of the best food in central London, as well as to enjoy the upscale atmosphere of the India Club, which has been virtually untouched since the 1950s. .
“Like most London restaurants that feel like they belong to another era, like they’re too smart to continue to exist in nature, at those costs, the India Club has been threatened by developers. So far, he survives. But it passes quickly, before someone turns it into an oligarch’s luxury apartment,” wrote our last India Club review in 2018. Unfortunately, they ran out of time.
