London Urban Beach

Finsbury Square in the City of London is being tranformed this week into a relaxed, chilled out beach location with the importation of tonnes of sand and 30 palm trees. The London Urban Beach 2007 will let office workers in the area and visitors alike kick back in a deckchair and hopefully catch some rays while listening to live music and DJs, watch dancers, fashion shows and fitness demonstrations, and enjoy food from Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen restaurant.

They’ll also be mini-golf competitions where you can win an ipod, inflatable football games, beauty treatments and wi-fi access for people who want to get out of the office but still do a little work. The Urban Beach is open from 11am-5pm, 13-19 August and admission is free.

Finsbury Square is off City Road between Moorgate and Old Street stations. Map
