The UK’s only specialist vintage poster market is coming to Gipsy Hill Tavern for a weekend of amazing artwork and rare finds. Specialist traders Projekt 26, CoolWalls, The Movie Poster Show, Room 12a, Grafix and Poptique will be displaying their wares, which take in everything from movie posters from Soviet-era Poland to Bauhaus prints to old educational displays on planets and mushrooms to Mexican devotional art. Pick up a print with soul to liven up your living room, or just enjoy a browse with a beer from the bar.
Now you see them, now you don’t – the best thing about the rise of pop-up shops in London is that the capital’s shopping landscape is always changing, the worst is that you don’t get long to take advantage of the offering at these blink-and-you’ll-miss-them retailers. From six-month Mayfair boutiques for designers testing out a new location before they buy into it, to snappy weekend pop-ups for young labels being given a free space to try on for size, each week brings a new batch of temporary stores.
