Fizz and Frivolity: A Taste of the 1920’s with Champagne Ayala
Roux at Parliament Square RCIS, Parliament Square, London, SW1P 3AD
7pm-9pm
£25.00
It can be said that the 1920s saw the beginnings of modern celebrity culture in Britain. Young, eclectic socialites and public figures became gossip column fodder due to their prolific partying ways.
