The Ukrainian club is an unassuming building. It stands on Holland Park Avenue, 4 storeys or thereabouts. The building is identified by a 45° flagpoll in the front of the facia.

This is technically a private club for Ukrainians, but you could probably get away with being present by looking inconspicuous. I have friends who are members here, so I am accepted as an invited guest --IvorW.

Besides London Pride (keg and bottled, they also have bottled 1845), there are a number of Ukrainian beers - recommended is the Oblon.

The upper storeys are a Ukrainian school. The bar is frequented by Ukrainians of a wide spectrum of ages. Many of the older fellows will sing songs - in many ways they are like the Welsh, except that alcohol is allowed ;).
