The Caravan Club (Endell Street) edit

Caravan Club advertising, 1934

  • ... that The Caravan Club (advertising pictured) claimed to be "the most unconventional spot in town" with "All night gaiety" and "Dancing to Charlie"?
  • ALT1:... that The Caravan Club (advertising pictured) was put under observation by police eleven days after opening and raided a month later with 103 arrests?
  • ALT2:... that locals thought The Caravan Club (advertising pictured) was "absolutely a sink of iniquity"?
  • ALT3:... that in a 1934 police visit to The Caravan Club (advertising pictured), 39/40 men were of the "importuning type" and 18/26 women of the "prostitute class"?
  • Reviewed: not a self-nom
  • Comment: many hook possibilities - take your pick, or feel free to tweak and/or add your own...

  • Wonderful array of Alts - thank you Edward! Philafrenzy (talk) 22:57, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
    • Article new enough (created by Philafrenzy on 5 September 2014), long enough (7,690 characters). Fully referenced. Was a stub but I have re-graded it a B. Image licence okay (but looks indistinct at 100px). AGF on ALT hooks (but main verified). Good to go. Hawkeye7 (talk) 02:46, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
