This weekend, Traveller and flattie went to a bar in Soho and found themselves in an entirely different era.
Bourne and Hollingsworth is a 'prohibition style' bar where the cocktails are served in tea cups and jam jars alongside cucumber sandwiches and shortbread cookies. Yum! Smaller than your grandma's living room, the bar is fitted with 20's style decor which includes flowery wall-paper, tassle-adorned lamps and various mis-matching chairs and tables.
Having never been to a 'speakeasy' - Bourne and Hollingsworth was a light foray into this dark era for Traveller and she couldn't help but bop in time to the themed music spinning from the turntables.
Please forgive the photo quality - it was pretty dark inside!

Wow - a password? That sounds fun! The last drink was a white russian. And Mara, I didn't think there could be anything exciting about a cucumber sandwich - but they are delicious!
Wow, that place looks awesome! Very fun!
I love the Peter Pan collar you're working. I would love to take a visit to this little place :)
That's not me, E. That's my beautiful flattie! :)
what a cool spot. the idea of drinking the good stuff out of tea cups along side the darling little sandwiches is so cute!
and wow - love that blue jacket!
This is my kind of place! I don't drink and always feel like an outsider when I'm at a bar and order something non-alcoholic... at least in a bar like this it wouldn't be too obvious! haha!!
i hope we have a chance to visit this place when we come to london. what a cute idea!
oh my goodness! you so made me want to go here. I appreciate those pictures. I might have to borrow them so soon! thanks!
