Murray's Cabaret Club: Discovering Soho's Secret

Excellent book about SoHo’s history of cabaret and burlesque. Beautifully illustrated drawings of costumes and stunning photos.

Who, honestly, ever fails to delight in the frisson of a naughty secret revealed? All the better that this tale involves showgirls and the rich and famous.The floor of Murray’s Cabaret Club was where those two disparate worlds from either side of the theatre curtain once met to rub shoulders – and perhaps more.The author takes us into his well-researched confidence to conjure - with generous colour illustration throughout - this surprisingly glitzy and plush side-line of London’s entertainment nostalgia.

I came across this book randomly and I have really enjoyed every single page. The illustrations are very beautiful and the story was totally illuminating. I have ever since gifted this book to my friends and family. It’s the perfect present. I highly recommend it

This book is a gem.It looks back at a time when chic and style were introduced on a new and exciting level to London.Anyone sitting eating a burger there today would have plenty of table talk knowing the real story.

This book does an incredible job delving into the lives of the rich and famous in post-war Soho. Phenomenally well researched, I eagerly await the author's next publication.

Sumptuously illustrated and intelligently researched, Ben Levy's book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in the social and cultural life of post-war London. Highly recommended.

This is an absolute must for people into fashion, burlesque and London history. Beautifully illustrated with great stories. Highly recommend!
