Quirky Pop-Ups In London

To celebrate the upcoming release of Wes Anderson's The Phoenician Scheme, Bob Bob Ricard's Red Room has teamed up with Universal Pictures to create an opulent pop-up inspired by the film. From May 23rd to June 22nd, the iconic “press for champagne” venue will host a month-long takeover, complete with a limited edition menu crafted for the occasion.

The pop-up, named Marseille Bob's after the luxurious cinematic bar in the movie, offers an immersive journey into the film's world. Guests will be surrounded by theatrical design, enjoy creatively presented food and drinks, and be served by staff dressed in white blazers, red carnations, and signature fez hats. Among the four original cocktails available is Tycoon on the Rocks, a pipette-served, colour-shifting margarita inspired by a poison test.

So you've smuggled your bottle of moonshine into this unique BYOB pop-up, what next? Moonshine Saloon is plunging you straight into the Wild West at this illicit gambling den with card games, sheriffs and libations to knock your socks off.

If you're after a quirky pop-up with a difference, the Log Cabin at The Montague Hotel is a real winner. Make your way inside this Holborn venue, where you'll be met with a festive wonderland, including mulled wine, cosy armchairs and a roaring fire.

Looking for something a little different in Balham or South Bermondsey? This pop-up ceilidh from Fiddle Paradiddle is gonna be wicked. Not only will you get to dance to your heart's content to classic and nu-folk tracks, but also sip whisky, beer or wine in a friendly setting.

Ever drank in prison before? Because now's your time. It's all getting a bit Orange is the New Black up in here, where it's up to you to smuggle in your favourite bottle of alcohol, past the warden using bribery and special techniques, so that one of the inmates can mix you up some spectacular cocktails.

Roll back the clock at the 90s Brunch, undoubtedly one of London's quirkiest pop-up events. Certain to leave you beaming from ear to ear, the event revolves around a home cooked brunch offering, rounded off by huge 90s tracks - R Kelly, Destiny's Child etc - and a few frivolous rounds of lip-syncing.

One of the hottest pop-ups in London, Between The Bridges is one of the coolest places to go out in the capital. Head over for tasty street food and cocktails, alongside quirky activities such as crazy golf and tejo, massive DJ nights and drag brunches.

Is this the most fun you're ever going to have? There's only one way to find out... Musical Bingo, Last Man Standing and Gospeloke are getting you ready for the weekend with a series of epic events.
