Standing proud at the junction of two low-rise streets in Lambeth is an ornate Edwardian corner building whose origins as a tavern is writ large in the large pub-style windows and arched, stuccoed entrance on the ground floor.
More surprising is the 120-year-old building's interlude as an acrobat arena, which it served as before becoming the legendary Mambo Inn, an African and Latin clubland institution (where DJs such as Gerry Lyseight, Max Reinhardt and Rita Ray cultivated the eclectic sound that attracted 100s of people every night).
