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

Ready to accept the Parislogue challenge? Paris already has its Paris Plage. What does London have that Parisians will NEVER be able to find in Paris?
Chavs, 200,000 Polish plumbers and members of Les Bleus national team.
Please, please, send some of those Polish plumbers our way. Paris needs them desperately! And I thought you were going to go on about the ‘Changing of the Guard’, but 200,000 plumbers hopping on the Eurostar to fix leaky pipes in Paris - now that would be something.
