"In the hot and sultry summer of 1928, the streets of London became host to a series of wild and extravagant parties celebrated in decadent, hedonistic style. Whilst American social life suffered under the constraints of the prohibition movement and the rest of Britain struggled to deal with post-war life, the new generation of social butterflies – dubbed the 'Bright Young Things' - captured the attention of national press with scandalous stories of their their frivolous parties and excessive lifestyles. The most sensational of these parties was the Bath and Bottle party: an exclusive all-night celebration held at St George's swimming baths. Instructions to guests were to dress in bathing costumes and to bring a bath towel and a bottle. Champagne flowed freely and guests enjoyed a heady mix of cocktails and jazz with wild abandon."
