The best London pop-ups: autumn 2018

By CW Contributor on 24/9/2018

The summer saw innumerable beach-themed parties and rooftops serving up rosé by the gallon. But there's plenty more popping up this autumn, from cutting-edge art festivals to secret supper clubs and a legendary New York show tunes bar. Read on for our top picks for this season.

Oded Oren at Borough Wines and Beers

Oded Oren, Borough Wines and Beers

Celebrated Israeli chef Oded Oren has hosted residencies all over London, receiving wholehearted praise for his inventive take on Eastern Mediterranean cuisine. This year, he's serving up small plates and sharing dishes at Borough Wines & Beers in Kensal Rise. Head over and sink your teeth into ox cheek and hummus, lamb sweetbreads with za'atar and lemon, as well as plenty of vegetarian and vegan offerings.

A famous New York show tunes bar comes to London

A famous New York show tunes bar comes to London

Far off the beaten tourist trail in New York city is a show tunes bar that’s legendary among locals. Tucked away on a quiet street in Greenwich Village, Marie’s Crisis is a late night bar that sees bartenders and punters alike cluster round a piano to sing along to their favourite Broadway hits, and drown their sorrows in feel-good, musical merriment. For one week only this autumn, the cabaret bar is voyaging across the pond to set up shop in London’s oldest LGBT venue: Marylebone gay pub City of Quebec. No tickets required, just turn up ready to gather round a piano and belt out your favourite musical hits.

Clumsies at Blind Spot

Clumsies at Blind Spot

Tucked away behind the facade of a tea counter in the St Martin's Hotel is Blind Spot, a late-night speakeasy serving up internationally-inspired, bespoke cocktails. If this alone wasn't enough to tempt you, for just four evenings at the end of this month it's being taken over by The Clumsies, Greek mixologists who featured in the top ten of the World's Best Bars. On the menu is a 'Hippocampus Summer Edition' – a medley of Bacardi Heritage, kiwi, mango and, in a strangely appealing twist, 'sunscreen aroma'.

RANDE's Cena Subterránea

RANDE's Cena Subterránea

An event where you're given the address of the secret location just hours before it starts – and the location turns out to be an abandoned warehouse. No, it's not an illegal rave but a Mexican pop-up supper club, taking place in all manner of locations from laundromats to Victorian boiler rooms transformed into temporary restaurants by London's best graffiti artists. Expect an innovative four-course menu and plenty of tequila cocktails.

Deptford X

A slightly different pop-up: the contemporary art festival Deptford X will be taking over Deptford, south east London, for 10 days only. To counter the likes of Frieze, the festival aims to promote young, up-and-coming artists by installing their visual arts projects in a wide range of venues and sites across the local area.

HarvestFest, Skylight at Tobacco Dock

If you enjoyed partying at east London rooftop Skylight this summer, you'll be pleased to hear the team are back with an autumnal offering. They'll be swapping the Aperol and rosé for harvest-inspired cocktails featuring apples and pears, and replacing croquet with haystack skittles and pumpkin draughts. We can safely say this will be nothing like the harvest festivals of your primary school days.

God's Own Junkyard at Selfridges

From October to December, the Bracey family will be bringing a taste of their east London Aladdin's cave of neon signs to Selfridges on Oxford Street.
