A Winter Warmer - 28 January 2026

​

After the dog days of January, following the highs of the festive season, a restorative winter warmer is just what we need as a tonic.  The Waggon Club has arranged a guided tour of the National Army Museum (NAM) in Chelsea followed by lunch at Poule Au Pot, an iconic French restaurant on Ebury Street a five minute walk to Victoria station.  

​

Opened by the Queen on March 30, 2017, after a £23.75 million makeover, the National Army Museum in London is home to around 2,500 objects divided into five galleries arranged by theme over four floors The museum is not just refurbished but is a new incarnation, the New National Army Museum. 

Highlights of the collection include the Duke of Wellington’s cloak, the skeleton of Napoleon’s horse and Laurence of Arabia’s robes.
