Designed as a city dwelling for the modern age, Dolphin Square
opened in London's Pimlico in 1936. Boasting 1,250 hi-tech flats, a
swimming pool, restaurant, gardens and shopping arcade, the complex
quickly attracted a long list of the affluent and influential. But
behind its veneer of respectability, the Square has become one of
the country's most notorious addresses; a place where the private
lives of those from the highest of high society and the lowest
depths of the underworld have collided and played out over the best
part of a century. This is the story of the Square and its people,
an ever-evolving cast of larger-than- life characters who have
borne witness to, and played pivotal roles in, some of the most
scandalous episodes of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
From Oswald Mosley and the Carry On gang to allegations of
systematic sexual abuse, it is a saga replete with mysterious
deaths, exploitation, espionage, illicit love affairs and glamour,
shining a light on the changing nature of British politics and
society in the modern age.
