Behind the unassuming entrance in Peckham, you are transported to the height of the Jazz Age. Think velvet, chandeliers, jazz drifting through the room and performers slipping between tables like you’ve wandered into a film set. ​The Story: It is based on the true story of Belle Livingstone, a legendary Jazz Age socialite and "Queen of the Speakeasies" who ran the original 58th Street Country Club in Manhattan. ​The Location: 133 Rye Lane/Copeland Park, SE15 ​The night runs like a true vintage dinner club: • ​Live jazz musicians: The 58th Street Stompers provide a high-energy soundtrack. • ​Cabaret-style acts and dancers: Performers move through the crowd, making the room feel alive. • ​Storytelling threaded through the evening: Based on the life of "Speakeasy Queen" Belle Livingstone. • ​Champagne poured with enthusiasm: The drinks flow as freely as the music. • ​A six course tasting menu: Carefully timed to be served between the theatrical performances. ​A Culinary Performance ​The food is honestly exquisite - fine dining wrapped in theatre and glamour. The menu is designed to reflect the decadence of Park Avenue, featuring: • ​The Seafood Course: A mix of oysters, seafood cocktails, and seared fish. (While the oysters are a "love it or hate it" rite of passage, they are as fresh as it gets!) • ​The Caviar: Served on a tiny warm pancake (blini), offering a perfect, salty-sweet introduction to high-end dining. • ​The Mains: Rich meat courses with decadent sauces poured tableside for that extra bit of flair. • ​The Finale: Desserts that look like artwork and are almost too pretty to eat - not photographed was a delicious orange sorbet! There was also a Night cap! ​A Night to Remember: ​This isn't just a meal; it's a 'whole night out.' By the time the final notes of jazz fade, the boundary between the audience and the 1930s has completely blurred. It remains one of London's most unique 'secret' spots for those looking to trade the 21st century for a bit of vintage mischief."

Every Friday, I meet a member of the British Fantasy SOciety and peer deep into their soul (or, at least, a form they filled out). As Christmas looms we're going spooky and heading to the New Forest to meet Laura Langrish. She's a Shirley Jackson fan and a "sucker for gothic tropes", and writes immersive, interactive theatre productions.
