Dancing Royals and hiding Mick Jagger: Notorious celebrity club Tramp turns 50, here's why the stars love it!
When you’re a celebrity constantly judged in the public eye, it is only natural to want a place where you can let loose, away from scrutiny, among people sworn to discretion. That is exactly what London’s Tramp, which was opened the same year that Neil Armstrong walked on the Moon and John Lennon married Yoko Ono, offers to celebrities and royals, alike, and it has done so for the better half of a century.
The Edwardian building at 40 Jermyn Street, in St James London does not stand out in any way to the naïve eye, except for a brass name-plate which reads, “members only". However, for 50 years, it has been home to some of the most “unashamedly decadent, champagne-fueled hedonism", according to Daily Mail. The dimly lit stairs of the Tramp, which lead to the basement club, have assured many a royal, Hollywood star, and socialite, blind eyes and the freedom to explore limitless fun.
