The Talk Of The Town

Defunct nightclub located in Westminster, London. (Active between 1958-1982) Originally built for circus and variety shows in 1900 and named The Hippodrome, the building was converted into a nightclub in 1958 by Bernard Delfont and was renamed The Talk Of The Town. This venue was host to some of the biggest pop stars of the time such as Tom Jones, Stevie Wonder, Frank Sinatra and Judy Garland. In 1982 the club shut down and the building was purchased by Peter Stringfellow who converted the venue into a nightclub/restaurant and re-opened in 1983 under the name The London Hippodrome. Today the building is home to the Hippodrome Casino.
