To celebrate the launch of Sky Atlantic HD, the new UK home of HBO programming, the Heritage Arts Company, working with The Hospital Club of Covent Garden, provided a unique prohibition speakeasy experience for guests including Steve Buscemi, Stephen Graham & Terrence Winter.

From shakedowns on arrival through to drinks with glamorous cocktail girls, a terrifying police raid and the unveiling of a secret casino, the Heritage Arts team brought the Boardwalk Empire to life for one night only.

Where were you on January 17th, 1920? 350 VIP guests were in the company of one slick & charismatic Chicago M.C. as he defied the authorities by publicly flaunting prohibition laws.

Despite the presence of the temperance union and a raid by the armed officers of the Federal Police, the party continued into the night with drinks, dancing and a secret casino frequented by glamorous molls and shady gents.
