Caesar's Night Club
STREATHAM HILL, LONDON
The largest club in London, Caesars was closed for many years before current owner Fred Batt re-opened the club eight years ago, at which point strange
things started to occur. The club was infamous in the 1950's through its connections with London’s underworld, most notibly as a local haunt for the notorious
Kray twins. Staff have reported unidentified footsteps along corridors, dark shapes seen moving across rooms, doors opening on their own, and a ghostly
woman's figure who is believed to be 1950s socialite Ruth Ellis. The 28-year-old nightclub hostess, who worked there when it was known as The Locarno,
was hanged in 1955 for killing her lover and racing driver David Blakely as he left the Magdala pub in South Hill Park, Hampstead, north London.
Two shots were fired at Blakely before he collapsed on the pavement. Ellis then fired the remaining four bullets into him. Apparently he apparition has been
regularly seen at the club.
