Rich and poor inside a cabmen's shelter

The "Junior Turf Club, " Piccadilly: Cabmen's hospitality to belated clubmen. Good fare at 2 am - rich and poor inside a cabmen's shelter. Lovely illustration by Samuel Begg showing smart gents enjoying some refreshment after an evening out in the West End of London. An application to erect a new, improved shelter during this time was met with complaints that the shelters were operating as restaurants, but in fact, the presence of guests other than cabmen in the shelters was an informal but not particularly regular occurrence
