Enter a dangerous, seductive world inspired by gangster epic Peaky Blinders.
Imagine a night out that takes you to another place in time. Now imagine that place contained the real life ‘Peaky Blinder’ gangsters…
It’s 1921 and Birmingham mobster William (Billy) Kimber has moved south, partnered with the McDonald brothers of the Borough and formed a new gang – The Elephant Boys.
Their plan, to take on the north London gangs for control of the lucrative racecourse betting, and so the racetrack wars begin.
You will enter this glamorous and dangerous world of criminal intrigue through the innocuous front of the Kimber’s wallpaper shop, located under a railway arch in London Bridge.
You can choose your journey: start upstairs in the Art Deco inspired room of The Tick Tack Club and experience a sophisticated night of decadent five course dining with cocktails, live jazz and dancing. Dress in appropriate evening attire and mingle with Bright Young Things.
When the mood takes you, descend into the dark gambling den located behind a hidden door in the wallpaper emporium: the heart of The Elephant Boys’ operation. An illicit world of backstreet bookmaking, beer, wine and women, you may join a raucous sing-a-long at the piano, tuck into some traditional pie and mash, or even persuade Billy to give you some cash to make bets on the gee-gees.
Every night will be different. Your paths may cross with the chilling prophetess Esme, who will tell your fortune in a hidden room if you line her palm with silver, or you may even be ‘stood up’ to be part of the gang. Only time will tell.
Above all, be discreet: no one wants the night to end in a raid by the Old Bill…
Brought to you by A Place In Time, the same twisted minds that created Leyshon Brothers and Uff Tea, this is the team’s biggest and most elaborate production yet, with a terrifying attention to detail that will blow your mind.
