Gingerline | Pop-up restaurant and arts space

November 2010

Rotherhithe
Brunel Museum

GINGERLINE tipped its top hat in homage to Victorian forerunners of the pop-up – the Brunels – who held an underwater banquet in the Rotherhithe Tunnel over 180 years ago. The evening began with cocktails, a film installation and a performance held underground in the former entrance of the tunnel and was followed by a sumptuous banquet within the Brunel Museum.
