The Kingsman x Mr Porter 2017 Pop-up Shop in Piccadilly

Kingsman, Mathew Vaughn's Secret Agent frilm franchise, has opened a pop-up shop with Mr Porter at 4 St James Street, so that fans can step into (& buy) the films' world of curated British luxury.  The shop is open until Christmas 2017 and features classic British and international menswear and luxury brands, like Turnbull and Asser, TAG Heuer, Drake, Smythson, and many more.  Don't expect anything at 'pocket money prices' - this is a luxury boutique.

"In our opinion, the Kingsman: The Secret Service was one of the most stylish films in recent memory - well, we'd expect no less from a spy ring headquartered in a Savile Row tailoring shop. However, while the first was great, the soon-to-be-released second instalment, Kingsman: The Golden Circle, looks set to be even more sleek still. How can we tell? One of the most stylish online menswear retailers, mrporter.com, is involved - and, even better, has opened an proper bricks-and-motar shop so every man can have a piece of the sartorial action.
Located on St James' Street next to historic wine merchant Berry Brothers & Rudd (which, we hear, makes an appearance in the film itself), the two-room shop is kitted out like a mini Kingsman outpost, complete with dark green panelling, futuristic interactive changing room mirrors and even the real stuffed Mr Pickles reclining on a shelf. There's also a special edition of the e-store's physical newspaper, the Mr Porter Post, that you can pick up for free only at this location."

When - Open Monday - Saturday until Christmas 2017

Where - The Kingsman x Mr Porter Store, 4 St James Street, SW1A 1EF

The 'Chicken of the Woods' Seasonal British Pop-up in Muswell Hill - Fridays

Chicken of the Woods, the North London pop-up specialising in seasonal, rustic British is back for a new series of pop-ups, this time at Flesh & Flour in Muswell Hill. It's taking place every Firday night, and the food will be accompanied by wine from small independent producers.  I went to one of these last year and it was fantastic - highly recommended!

"Chicken of the Woods takes inspiration from rustic 'hole in the wall' bars and cafe's from around Europe with jugs of local wine, cured meats and plates of simple food to graze and share
We have joined forces with Flesh and Flour in Muswell Hill to do a weekly Friday pop up like no other carefully sourcing our wine in 5 litre bags from small independent natural wine producers and complementing with rustic seasonal cooking.
All viewed through the lens of a folksy British chef with over two decades of award-winning experience, whose style is an amalgam of influences that include the passionate use of seasonal produce, the rural landscape, researching heritage recipes, supporting cottage industry suppliers and cooking nose to tail. 
But his main influence is the social development of Englands rich and diverse food history being enhanced and remoulded by Europe's fine culinary heritage.
Our first evening is Friday 8th September then every Friday going forward.
Reservations start from 7.00 pm till 9.00 pm 
There will be a few tables left open for walk-ins on the night."

When - Friday evenings

Where - Flesh & Flour, 162 Fortis Green Rd, London N10 3DU

Tacu Tacu's 6 Month Latin American Pop-up in Mare Street, E8

Tacu Tacu,  who serve great Latin American-inspired dishes, has opened a 6 month pop-up at 175 Mare Street, London Fields, formerly the site of Rita's. It's open Wednesdays to Saturdays, and you can expect lots of tacos, plus the legendary Pulpo Al Olivo, MexiClam Fries (clams simmered in a creamy wine sauce over sweet potato fries), cocktails and lots more.  See you there!

"Latin American outfit Tacu Tacu are returning to the food scene after the summer break. After starting off selling Mexican Shrimp Burgers in Brick Lane street market in 2014, several pub residencies as well as supper clubs, they are finally settling down in fashionable London Fields for the next 6 months in the site previously occupied by Rita’s. The space has been converted into a bright and colourful venue to capture the spirit of a Latin summer and keep it going through the damp British winter.
The first week is a soft launch with the menu limited to tacos (with the instahit Octopus Burger and those moreish Brazilian cheeseballs thrown in for good measure).  They will be giving away 300 of their finest tacos over the first weekend (15th and 16th). Choose from chocolate ox cheek, bajasian fish or jerk plantain.
A fuller menu will be available from the 20th of September- expect the Pulpo Al Olivo (the most beautiful Octopus in London Town), Mexiclam fries (clams simmered in a creamy wine sauce over sweet potato fries), Lychee & Ginger Ceviche and much more. For desserts- they will continue their flirtation with Latin cocktails- so, yes, that means the Mojito Cheesecake is making a long awaited comeback to London. In mid-October it will get even better with what will undoubtedly become one of the hottest brunches in the city- we can’t say much about it right now but it will be very special- Mexican chilli crab toast anyone?
There will be bottled beers and a revolving wine and cocktail menu which will include the likes of the summery Flower Power (Lavender and Chilli Margarita) and the caffeine-rich ‘Black and Black’. Rumours have it that they will also be launching a very special Colombian Gin and Tonic so watch this space.
The bar will be open till midnight but food served will be served Wednesday-Friday 1730 till 10pm and Saturday 1400-2200- keep an eye on their facebook for more extended hours"

When - Weds-Sat til 1st March 2018

Wed-Fri- 1730 till late

Saturday 1300 till late

The 'Foo Fighters Arms' Pub Takeover in Bethnal Green
