The International Working Men's Educational Club (IWMEC), colloquially the International Workmen's Club or the Berner Street Club, was a left-wing meeting spot in Whitechapel, London for socialists, anarchists, and social democrats, modelled after the ideals of the International Workmen's Association. The club was a centre for London's Jewish socialist community and acted as an editorial and publishing house for various Yiddish-language newspapers. It operated between 1885 and 1906.
On 30 September 1888, the body of Elizabeth Stride, the third "canonical" victim of the Whitechapel murders, was discovered in the passageway of the club, with members of the IWMEC testifiying at Stride's murder inquest the following week.
Tensions between anarchist and socialist members of the club led to a split-off in 1891. The former group went on to form the Jubilee Street Club.
