A couple of things to see in London this summer
- The Nomad's weird and wonderful film screenings: Back to the Future at Greenwich Royal Observatory, Pan's Labyrnth at Brompton Cemetery, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind at the Houses of Parliament gardens.. doesn't get much cooler than that..!
What they say: 'A coming together of the incredible Lexi Cinema in Kensal Rise (the UK’s first social enterprise boutique cinema) and The Screen on the Green (the country’s leading supplier of mobile outdoor cinema), The Nomad promises horizons new and adventures aplenty. Having perfected the art of cinema al fresco at museums, parks, castles, cricket grounds, and heritage sites across the Southeast, we’re adding a whole host of quirky indoor locations to our line-up for 2011, as we aim to stay on the road 52 weeks of the year.'
- Folly for A Flyover
What they say: On the 24th June, a building will appear in the gap between the East and Westbound traffic of the A12. Folly for a Flyover will host a six week programme of cinema, performance and play, including boat tours, screenings and drop-in workshops, produced by Assemble CIC in conjunction with CREATE 2011 and The Barbican Art Gallery, with support from muf architecture/art.
What they say: This summer we are back with an even better programme of cultural events. Back by popular demand are our out door film screenings and a series of live and acoustic music events. We will also be encouraging young people from the local community to engage in the management of the garden and the growing of the allotments. This is an important focus for the project this year.
Garden Opening Times: Monday - Thursday 09:00- 23:00, Friday 09:00- 24:00, Sat 13:00- 24:00, Sunday 13:00- 22:00
Bar Opening Times: Monday - Thursday 17:00- 23:00, Friday 17:00- 24:00, Saturday 13:00- 24:00, Sunday - 13:00- 22:00
- The Clink Restaurant: a restaurant, inside a working prison!
What they say: The Clink is located in Her Majesty’s Prison High Down in Sutton, Surrey. It is the first and only commercial restaurant to be built inside a working British prison to date. The Clink represents a genuine opportunity for change, offering prisoners the chance to gain food preparation, food service and cleaning qualifications as well as experience within an exciting, operational business and in-depth guidance to find full time employment within the hospitality industry upon release.
The restaurant is open for breakfast (6:30am to 9:30am) and lunch (midday to 2pm).
What they say: The popular Frank’s Cafe & Campari
Bar designed by Practice Architecture (Paloma Gormley & Lettice Drake) occupies a temporary building alongside the sculptures on the roof. For 2011 we have commissioned two new structures for the space. 2011 will see the launch of two free audience programmes - a wide-ranging Events Calendar and Education for children and young people. Bold Tendencies is part of the Cultural Learning Alliance. - Hip Hop Karaoke at The Social
What they say: Putting a fresh twist on the ancient art of karaoke, Hip-Hop Karaoke lets you get on the mic and act out your rap fantasies to the fullest, whether that includes teaming up with friends to rock through a Wu-Tang jam, giving a new gender twist to a Salt-N-Pepa standard, living the lyrical highlife like Jay-Z, celebrating summertime with Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince or acting all crazy like ODB. You can now find HHK every Thursday at The Social. It’s no exaggeration to say that this is a legendary night out.
