Late London: Bohemian City

Our valentine’s Late London returns and, in honour of Mr.Holmes, we’re rejecting convention on the eve of the romantic day and embracing London’s bohemian soul.

Event highlights:

Trans-siberian Marching Band performances
With riotous high energy this 13 piece Balkan Brass ensemble (Rich Mix, Bestival, Secret Garden Party) will unleash their borderless bag of musical styles into the museum galleries. Accompanied by circus performances and with dancefloor space enough to throw you best bohemian shapes.

Desire Lines installation
Installation artist Kirsty Harris (Battersea Arts Centre, Southbank Centre) will run a participatory art work inspired by bohemian desires and wanderings.

Absinthe: the bohemian tipple
Join Distillnation to imbibe all their spiritual knowledge about the ‘Green Fairy’. Thought to be dangerously addictive and psychoactive, absinthe has historically been a popular drink among artists and writers.

Chalkboard Philosophy workshop
These days everyone’s a Chalkboard Philosopher! Add your own life mantra, motto, witticism, to our collection on the night.

With talks (to be announced) and drop in life drawing from London Drawing to indulge your inner artist.

Plus galleries by twilight, the chance to see Sherlock Holmes after hours and late night bars.
