Great Windmill Street - Entertainment

Entertainment

Great Windmill Street has had a long association with music and entertainment, most notably being the site of the Windmill Theatre where during the 1930s and 1940s Laura Henderson and Vivian Van Damm presented nude tableaux vivants. The theatre is now a table dancing club. In the 1940s, the first regular paid modern jazz club for London musicians, Club Eleven, was run from a basement in Great Windmill Street involving musicians such as Ronnie Scott, Hank Shaw, Johnny Rogers, Lennie Bush, Tony Crombie and Laurie Morgan. It is also home to the Ripley's Believe It or Not! museum and Trocadero shopping centre.
