Oriental Club Membership
Currently, GBA Members enjoy most favoured status with the Oriental Club, and as members of the QGEA, we are also granted this status. The Oriental Club was established only nine years after Gurkha Soldiers began serving The British Crown, and since 1824 and has been an iconic Central London focal point for those who have lived, worked or travelled in the East. Due to the connections of the Brigade of Gurkhas with the far East over the last two hundred years, we are eligible to be considered for membership. Today, a diverse membership of the Club values the modern amenities of Stratford House, situated yards from Bond Street Underground Station in the heart of London, and the attentive service offered by the Club’s Staff. www.orientalclub.org.uk
