The India Club in London, a historic landmark tied to Krishna Menon and the Indian independence movement, is closing permanently on September 17 after a decade-long eviction fight. Owners Yadgar and Phiroza Marker who have been running the place for the last 26 years, regretfully announced the closure last week. The club held deep cultural and emotional significance for Indians in the UK. But freeholders Marston Properties plan to gut the premises and replace it with a luxury hotel. The club’s demise represents the loss of an institution cherished by generations of Indians in Britain.
