Badge of the East India Club, London

The Club's badge has been called 'a lion looking for a place to hang up his hat'. Actually it is the badge of the Honourable East India Compnay (HEIC), adopted at the CLub's establishment as the East India United Service Club in 1894. The East India United Service Club was intended to provide a London home exclusively for members of the HEIC's military, naval and various civil services - planters merchants and other 'boxwallahs' were not to be admitted. Even after the Great Mutiny of 1857 resulted in the end of the Company's rule and the transfer of the Indian army abd civil service to the Crown, the member of the Club remained loyal to their origins. So much so that in 1870 the AGM voted firmly to retain the HEIC's badge as that of the Club - and so it has remained throughout our subsequent amalgamations with the Sports, Devonshire and Public School Clubs. It is probable that the Club is the only institution that still uses the name and insignia that harks back to a founding connection with the HEIC.
