Douglas House, London
The Douglas House, London was a U.S. servicemen’s club operated by the United States Air Force for twenty-five years at two different locations in London’s West End. The club’s purpose was to provide “home-style service” for the thousands of American airmen based in the United Kingdom and U.S. servicemen of all branches who might be passing through.〔Springfield Union, May 3, 1959〕 The first location opened after the Second World War in Mayfair. In 1959 the Douglas House was relocated to Lancaster Gate, near Hyde Park. In the early 1960s, its nightclub served as a springboard for the budding career of a nascent London band called the Detours, that later went on to greater fame as The Who. When the club closed in 1970, the property was sold to a private firm.
==Location==
The original Douglas House, which opened either during or after the Second World War, occupied the former Guards Club building at 41–43 Brook Street in Mayfair. The second Douglas House was located at 66 Lancaster Gate, W2, in the Bayswater/Hyde Park district of London, one block north of Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens and the actual Lancaster Gate on Bayswater Road.
