WELCOME to the london borough of LAMBETH

Born in Lambeth

As well…

No, this one was not norm here!

Fields and market gardens until the 18th c.

18th c.: LAMBETH WELLS Tea gardens. (LOLLARD ST. -then called THREE CONEY LANE) junction site), music and dancing. CONEY was a rabbit or hare.

All changed with the opening of WESTMINSTER BRIDGE, 1750, and the lay out of TURNPIKE ROADS, WESTMINSTER BRIDGE and KENNINGTON. LAMBETH ROAD led to the FERRY.

Smart middle class GEORGIANS houses.

A LITTLE INTRODUCTION about the area around LBTC base

No. 74 KENNINGTON ROAD, LAMBETH TOWERS. SITE OF THE PUBLIC BATHS AND WASHOUSES

Interior of the laundry room at Lambeth Baths and Washhouses, built to the designs of A. Hessell Tittman, on the corner of Lambeth Road and Kennington Road. The baths were opened in 1897 as a public swimming pool, bath, laundry and washhouse for those without such facilities. They were badly damaged by a V2 rocket on 4th January 1945 and were demolished, being replaced by a new laundry and bathhouse in Lambeth Walk, which is now a doctor's surgery.Photograph by Bedford Lemere & Co, dated 1898.

A song from ME AND MY GIRL, 1937 musical, which took the name from this street. In 1939 a film based on it was released.

Story line: a COCKNEY barrow boy inherits an earldom and almost loses his Lambeth girlfriend in the process.

The tune gave way to a Cockney dance made popular by LUPINO LANE (further alongside the street a new building carries his name). He was the star of the ulterior film.

A popular walking dance performed in a jaunty strutting style. For LUPINO LANE, a Cockney born and bred, who was from HACKNEY, the dance was born from experience, as it is an exaggerated idea of how the Cockney struts.

The dance version started at the LOCARNO DANCE HALLS, STREATHAM, and from there it swept the country. The craze even reached BUCK’S PALACE: king and queen attended a performance and joined in the shouted OÍ!.

In the USA, the fad was popularised by JOE RINES, leader of the BOSTON BAS ORCH. Performances took place in the “better” clubs of NY CITY.

DUKE ELLINGTON did versions, hitting records. The craze spread through USA and EU. A chapter was dedicated to it by MASS OBSERVER in the 1939 BRITAIN book.

RUSS MORGAN

BALLIAMO IL PASSO DI LAMBETH, popularised by DINO DI LUCA and TRIO LESCANO

In GERMANY band leader ADALBERT LUTTER adapted it (LAMBETH’S NACHTLOKAL) and became very popular in swing clubs.

But a NAZI member drew attention to that “animalistic hopping”, which was “a Jewish mischief “ in a speech on how to revolutionise private life was the task of the party.
However, the song continued to be popular with the German public, even well into WW2 time.

SCHICHLEGRUPER

So popular that MINISTRY OF INFORMATION CH.A. RIDLEY made an edited footage, taken from LENI RIEFENSTAHL’s TRIUMPH OF THE WILL, to make it appear as if they were dancing the Cockney dance style.

The German DLW was distrib. uncredited to newsreel cos, who supplied their own narration. Alternative titles were given: HITLER doing the LW, General ADOLF takes over, HITLER assumes command, PANZER baller.

When he saw one of those films GORING was enraged, to the degree of running out of the screening room kicking chairs and screaming profanities, and placing RIDLEY on a GESTAPO LIST for elimination after victory.

Back in 1938, THE TIMES had this headline: “While dictators rage and statesmen talk, Europe dances TLW”

Allied Propaganda

Danish Resistance members raided theatres forcing projectionists to show the film.

In the 1962 THE LONGEST DAY movie about the DDAY LANDINGS, Squadron sings TLW in a glider on its way to capture PEGASUS BRIDGE.

FRANZ REIZENSTEIN composed a pastiche formed by variations of TLW in the style of BETH, CHOP &. LISZT

THE JOLLY GARDENERS PH.

A spit and sandust kinfd of place, where Potters would have Frank their wages after their long shifts.

CHAPLIN Sr. played the piano in the corner… he helped boost the profits up of places like this one in the whole district, encouraging punters to stay for another drink (and he drank himself to death).

And a very young CHCH used to follow him…

BLACK PRINCE ROAD had to content with at least 20 explosive bombs during WW2, so this building was lucky to survive.

In the 1990s, THE JOLLY COCKNEY. And GUY RITCHIE chose it to film the DESERT EAGLE 50 scene in his crime comedy SNATCH.

Until 2019, ZEITGEIST, German restaurant.

During the 2020 COVID 19 LOCKDOWN 5 friends with experience in the pub business, conceived this “ideal, honest and welcoming boozer”
