Weekends at London City Beach are looking mighty fine this summer.
London might not be able to offer us sun, sand and sea; but sun, sand and see-ing a lineup of the sassiest queens more than makes up for it, right? Throw a side-order of bottomless drinks and tasty street food into the equation, and you've got yourself one amazing package for your urban beach visit.
Drag Me To The Beach is London City Beach's bottomless brunch pop-up, brought to you by Awesome Events. The Southbank spot is inspired by Havana and making sure you can catch some rays while dipping your toes in their beach box, which comes complete with deck chairs and even the odd inflatable. Tickets don't just get you entry either - think a welcome cocktail and drinks token to get you started, alongside an MC warm-up act followed by a headline drag artist to keep you entertained across a choice of morning or afternoon sessions. The star-studded lineup includes Paige Three, drag supermodel Flesh, The Gold Rush's Kyran Thrax, Caribbean-born Rileasa Slaves (Rihanna, who?), and more.
If you really want to make a day of it, we'd suggest upgrading to bottomless beer, wine, soft drinks and prosecco. This has the added bonus of a street food token too, meaning you can grab a Mexican meal with bottomless nachos. After the ultimate VIP experience? Tag a cabana booking onto your tickets: a private, shaded space for up to 12 of you that boasts direct access to the beach, table service and in-hut speakers.
Awesome Events X London City Beach's Drag Me To The Beach runs on 15th June, 29th June and 13th July at 99 Upper Ground, SE1 9PP. Tickets start at £25 per person.
