The Flamingo Club was active in this location between 1952 and 1967, primarily as a jazz venue, with Ronnie Scott and Tubby Hayes as members of the resident band. By the early 60s, it became a popular as a centre of the mod subculture and a favourite haunt for musicians, including The Beatles.
Acts who played at the Flamingo’s in the 1960’s included John Mayall, Eric Clapton, The Rolling Stones, The Animals, Cream, Pink Floyd, The Small Faces, and many others.
The current O’Neill’s pub still hosts some (not as memorable) live music and DJ nights.
