1. Title: A Glimpse into the Past: The Geneva Union, Shaftesbury Avenue, London (1902) 2. Subtitle: A Historic Clubhouse for Swiss Hotel Workers in the Heart of London's West End 3.. Step back in time with this photograph of The Geneva Union, located at 158-160 Shaftesbury Avenue in London's vibrant West End. Dating back to 1902, this impressive building served as a clubhouse for Swiss hotel employees, providing a sense of community and camaraderie for those working in the bustling hospitality industry. The Geneva Union was one of at least two Swiss hotel worker associations in the West End, the other being the Helvetia Union in Nassau Street (later Gerrard Place). These clubs played a crucial role in supporting the social and cultural needs of the Swiss community, fostering a strong sense of identity and connection among its members. As you gaze upon this image, you can almost hear the lively conversations and laughter emanating from the building. The ornate architectural details, such as the intricate stonework and the ornamental balconies, speak to the pride and care taken in constructing this special space. Despite the passage of time, much of the original Geneva Union building remains standing, a testament to its historical significance and the enduring legacy of the Swiss community in London's West End. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, inviting us to reflect on the rich history and traditions that continue to shape our cities today.
