Tuxes, gowns and undeniable style

The timeless cool of the Rat Pack — Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr, Dean Martin and their friends — is undeniable. With their smooth voices, stylish threads and debonair, sophisticated image, everyone wants a piece of their unmistakeable cool — and they're as popular as ever today!

With the imminent release of Ocean's Twelve, starring modern-day smooth operator George Clooney, the Rat Pack legend is updated. With the hit 2001 film Ocean's Eleven based on the Rat Pack 1960 original, the hotly-anticipated sequel shows we've still got an appetite for sharp guys and gals, in tuxes and gowns, living the high life and outsmarting the opposition.

When it comes to music, Robbie Williams kicked off the genre's second wind with his 2001 album Swing When You're Winning — and Westlife are attempting the same trick this Christmas with Allow Us To Be Frank (although the less said about that the better...). A West End stage show, The Rat Pack Live in Las Vegas, is still packing them in the aisles and flying CDs off the shelf.

So, louche Londoners, grab that Martini, smooth that hair into place, and enjoy our special, where we lay open the best of Rat Pack London — the style, the music, the places — for your discriminating enjoyment...
