A captivating view of the Karsino at East Molesey, a summer resort and entertainment palace situated on Taggs Island in the River Thames, circa 1910-1920. This enchanting scene transports us back in time to the Roaring Twenties, an era of glamour, jazz, and nightlife. The Karsino, first established by the renowned English comedian Fred Karno, was a popular destination for Londoners seeking escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Over the years, it went through various name changes, including The Palm Beach, The Thames Riviera Hotel, and The Casino Hotel. Taggs Island, with its picturesque setting and idyllic location, offered visitors a chance to enjoy the sun, sand, and water. The Karsino provided them with a variety of amenities, such as a casino, dance floor, and beautiful gardens, making it the perfect place for a day out or an evening of entertainment. This postcard captures the essence of the Karsino during its heyday. The twinkling lights of the casino and the jazz band in full swing create an atmosphere of excitement and fun. The age of the photograph, coupled with the nostalgic appeal of the image, makes it a fascinating glimpse into the past. The Karsino at East Molesey, with its rich history and charm, remains an intriguing piece of London's social and cultural heritage. This view serves as a reminder of the allure and excitement that once drew crowds to the banks of the Thames in the 1920s.
