Details |
Advertisement for Booth's Dry Gin showing George, the barman mixing some delicious cocktails. The Gargoyle Club on Meard Street was a regular haunt for many artists. Founded in 1925, it had been the epitome of decadent glamour, but by the 1950s had become a seedy drinking den. Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud were regulars.
