London’s Pop-Up Beaches

Hosted by Neverland, this experience includes delicious summer cocktails, a games area, tropical flowers, pergola-style tables and verandas which you can rent out! You’ll feel as if you’ve been transported to a beach bar in Spain. Dance with your besties during Bottomless Bubbles events, get your name on the guest list for the Ibiza White Party or take part in Drag Bingo!

This pastel-coloured paradise is the ideal spot for a Thameside sunbathing session and a good old natter with your friends and family. And what’s more? It’s free entry too!

Relax in private beach huts, slurp up frozen cocktails, eat fish and chips and play nostalgic beach games with your little ones on the golden sand. Leaf through the beach schedule to find out about Kids Play, Family Parties, Beach Vibes, and adults-only beach parties.

This is one of our favourite picks in our list of London’s pop-up beaches because it is super nostalgic and perfect for families.

Hotel guests get first dibs but walk-ins may be available on the day, so it’s always worth ringing up to check.

The Caribbean vibes don’t stop at the decor and drinks… Tuck into jerk chicken and pork ribs with coconut, thyme rice and peas or a mango and citrus slaw salad. Finish off with a trini rum cake and ice cream or get lost in dreamy passion fruit, island tiri misu.

You can book bottomless brunches here too, so if you’ve got a family event or an overdue meet-up with friends, this beach-hut style restaurant should be a top contender.

Join in the fun by jumping into the water. Create a masterpiece in the super sandpits or relax in a deckchair and join in with free summer activities! There are plenty of ways to enjoy your surroundings. If you are seeking a little tranquillity, head over to London’s historic Royal Docks and take the kids for a swim!

Just make sure to keep all your beach activities on land and NOT in the lake water as there is no swimming rule. The water has unpredictable depths and is freezing cold, there could also be underwater objects and hazards so please do not enter the water.
