Re: not a taxi
Those of you who pocess a level of intelligence a little higher than that of a housemite may have worked out that the four large letters above the door of the club, was in fact the name of the club, although it was often referred to as the Union St Club. DDSS stood for Disabled and Discharged Soldiers and Sailors.

Re: not a taxi
I don't know about Union Street as it wasn't a club I used but Brooks Club have a lot of involvement with The Royal British Legion. They use the club as their headquareters.
