A biography of a club. The Gargoyle was opened by David Tennant in 1925 and for quarter of a century the Soho venue was a favourite haunt for bohemians, artists, politicians and socialites alike. Michael Luke, a member of the club, gives a first-hand account of its memorable moments and creative customers, including Noël Coward, Virginia Woolf, Tallulah Bankhead, Graham Greene, George Orwell, Dylan Thomas, Guy Burgess, Lucian Freud and Francis Bacon.
