In its 2021 publication Alford 70 the authors describe the evolution of the club through two world wars and its association with Mill Hill Public School since 1934. The club moved from Lambeth Walk after the second world war into buildings that had suffered extensive bomb damage and were formerly the Moffat Institute. They were given to the club by the London Congregational Union in 1949. They were repaired and converted to their present use and occupied by the Club in 1950 .The club building is locally listed.
