Discussion: Tales from the Colony Room: Soho's Lost Bohemia

Author: Darren Coffield

Description: Tales from the Colony Room by Darren Coffield recounts the vibrant history of the Colony Room Club in London’s Soho, a legendary gathering place for artists, writers, and intellectuals in the mid-20th century. Coffield offers personal anecdotes, interviews, and historical insights into the club's role in shaping London's bohemian scene. Through stories of its famous members, including Lucian Freud and Francis Bacon, the book paints a picture of the Colony Room as a space of creative freedom and artistic exchange, and explores the decline of Soho’s bohemian culture in the face of commercialization.
