The Cat's Whisker
London, United Kingdom
The Cat's Whisker was a coffee bar situated at 1 Kingly Street, Soho, London, during the mid-late 1950s. The venue was a hub of excitement for London's young people, offering a vibrant mix of Spanish dancing, live rock 'n roll, and skiffle music. It saw the invention of a new style of 'dancing' known as hand-jive, a complicated pattern of hand gestures only, and claps at various parts of the body, as there was no space to maneuver in the crowded basement. The venue was closed in 1958, owing to overcrowding.
