Tramp (nightclub)
Tramp is a private, members-only nightclub located on Jermyn Street in central London, England. Founded in 1969 by Johnny Gold with Oscar Lerman, Tramp is a regular haunt for celebrities. It was sold by Gold in 2003.[1]
Clientele
Over its history, Tramp has been frequented by many celebrities, socialites, aristocrats and royalty. Peter Sellers, Joan Collins, Liza Minnelli and Ringo Starr all had wedding receptions at the club.
Tramp remains a preserve of a clientele including Drake, Rihanna, Lara Stone, Noel Gallagher, Yasmin Le Bon and Ashley Cole revelling into the early hours of the night at the club.[2] David Beckham had taken his newly single son Brooklyn to Tramp after his split with Chloë Grace Moretz.[3] Kate Moss sang Happy Birthday to Sam McKnight for his 60th Birthday party at Tramp.[4] Tramp was named as the place where Virginia Roberts was forced to dance with a "sweaty" Prince Andrew. The Prince sat for a November interview with BBC’s Emily Maitlis to dispute the claims made by his accuser; his defense centered on a single night out with Roberts, Jeffrey Epstein, and Ghislaine Maxwell. Andrew claims the night in March 2001 never happened, while Giuffre has talked about it in detail, and gave the FBI a photograph she claims was taken that day.[5]
Tramp's Gold
Tramp's Gold,[6] a book about the club written by Gold himself and with a foreword from Michael Caine, was published in 2001.
