Walthamstow-on-Sea

Fancy a little seaside jaunt but can’t be bothered with the palaver of actually trekking outside of London? Head to Walthamstow’s Big Penny Social to soak up the vibes of a classic British beach resort without all the faff of 2 hour journey on a baking hot train. Every weekend until early September, the courtyard of the UK’s largest beer hall will be transformed into Walthamstow-on-Sea, a lovely little sandy cove where you can soak up some rays on a deck chair, hang out in your own private beach hut, sip draught beers and frozen cocktails served up by the beach bar, and treat yourself to some classic seaside snacks including fish and chips, soft serve and penny sweets. Hope you’ve got your bucket and spade to hand!
