The Crab Tree Club: A Haven for Bohemian Artists and Societal Rebels in Early 20th Century London This evocative photograph captures the essence of The Crab Tree Club, a legendary establishment that opened its doors in Greek Street, Soho, London in 1914. Founded by a trio of visionaries, including Lord Howard de Walden, William Marchant (director of the Goupil Gallery), and the renowned artist Augustus John, the club quickly became a magnet for artists, writers, and bohemians. The Crab Tree Club was a unique social and artistic community that thrived on the fringes of London's society. Its members, often referred to as the Slade Coster Gang, were known for their unconventional attire, which mimicked the street costers of the period. The club's name, The Crab Tree Club, was inspired by the crab apple tree that grew outside its entrance. Night after night, the club came alive with the sounds of lively debates, spirited conversations, and the clinking of glasses. The atmosphere was electric, and the energy was palpable. The Crab Tree Club offered its patrons a sanctuary from the rigid conventions of the time, providing a space where they could express themselves freely and embrace their creativity. This photograph is a snapshot of a bygone era, a time when London's nightlife was synonymous with bohemianism, artistic expression, and the pursuit of the unconventional. The Crab Tree Club stands as a testament to the power of community and the enduring allure of the creative spirit.
