Whilst American social life suffered under the constraints of the prohibition movement and the rest of Britain struggled to deal with post-war life, the new generation of social butterflies – dubbed the 'Bright Young Things'- captured the attention of national press with scandalous stories of their their frivolous parties and excessive lifestyles. The most sensational of these parties was the Bath and Bottle party: an exclusive all-night celebration held at St George's swimming baths. Instructions to guests were to dress in bathing costumes and to bring a bath towel and a bottle. Champagne flowed freely and guests enjoyed a heady mix of cocktails and jazz with wild abandon."
