If you’ve ever found yourself wandering through a cloud of gin, drunk a cocktail prepared by a merman or attended a sausage seance, you’ll already be familiar with the work of Bompas & Parr. Basically, if it’s a food-based happening and your immediate reaction was along the lines of ‘WHAT THE ACTUAL FLIP’ then chances are they’re behind it. For their stint on the London Eye, they’ll be revealing what famous London landmarks taste like (yes, really), through the medium of flavoured syrups. So, given the diverse blend of features that makes up the London skyline, expect nothing less than a sensorial rollercoaster.
September 21, £25 until August 31, £30 thereafter.
Over the course of 2019, Time Out has spent so much time on the London Eye, it’s a wonder they haven’t got us a set of keys cut (or at least set aside a drawer where we can keep our clean pants and things). Now, after sell-out yoga sessions, oversubscribed sketching classes, crammed-out kids’ events and plenty more besides, Time Out’s Eye-Openers is back for its final run of 2019. That’s right – if you had ‘do something amazing while cruising through the sky’ on your check list this year, it’s now or never.
This time round, Time Out’s Eye-Openers comes with a culinary slant. In particular, it’s about three very important food groups: cocktails, biscuits and syrup. Hey, we said culinary, not nutritious. Here’s everything you need to know about what’s going down (or rather, er, up) this September.
