FROM 1st June, 1931, the address of the Institution is— Life-boat House, 42, Grosvenor Gardens, London, S.W. 1 (Close to Victoria Station).

As already announced in the last issue of The Lifeboat, the Headquarters at Life-boat House, Charing Cross Road, have for some years been too small for the staff required to deal with the expansion of the Institution's activities, and the Committee of Management have for the past year been in search of more suitable premises.

They have acquired, on favourable terms, the lease of 42 and 44, Grosvenor Gardens, S.W. 1, and the Institution has now left its Headquarters at 22, Charing Cross Road, where it has been established for the past twenty-eight years. It is hoped in a later issue of the Journal to give some particulars of the different homes of the Life-boat Service since it was founded in the City of London in 1824.
