Here’s the story:
Legend has it that a merchant trading ship carrying barrels of spiced rum and exotic spices from the Caribbean, was ferociously attacked by a giant sea monster, the Kraken.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
The ship was lost, but miraculously a few barrels survived stained black by the Kraken’s ink. When The Inferno’s crew recovered those floating barrels from the sea, they discovered something peculiar: encrusted with rare deep-sea moss and mysterious flora from the Kraken’s realm, the barrels had become vessels of life.
To celebrate that unexpected life born from darkness, The Rhum Tavern decided to honour the Kraken with one-of-a-kind Kraken Rum Terrarium Masterclasses.

Kyotographie: Kawada Kikuji x Iwane Ai brings together two Japanese photographers for the first time.
The two photographers are connected by the poetic atmosphere of their works and that they both exploring loss and belonging.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Kawada Kikuji (93) is known for his revolutionary photobook, called Chizu (The Map) which examines the scars of the post war period. The photobook is a collection of images taken at the remains of the Genbaku (A-Bomb) Dome after the atomic bomb hit Hiroshima.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
The photos showcase dark, atmospheric images of what remained after the terrible attack: haunting silhouettes of humans on the wall whose bodies literally evaporated at the very moment of the explosion, Coca Cola bottles sinking into a pool of grey ash, and seemingly abstract images capturing blemishes on the walls and the ceiling.
Visitors can also have the rare chance to experience The Last Cosmology, a series of striking celestial phenomena, peculiar weather conditions and solar eclipse captured between 1980 and 2,000.
Iwane Ai (51) represents a new generation of Japanese photographers. Her award-winning collection, Kipuka, is exploring the lives of Japanese immigrants in Hawaii.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Iwane Ai’s photographs are frozen in time moments, capturing spontaneous moments of traditional Bon dances, a Buddhist ritual, and commemorative images of Japanese funerals in Hawaii.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
A New River is a haunting series of cherry blossoms captured at night time during the COVID_19 pandemic. The photos are featuring eerily lit trees at night with characters from Japanese folk traditions.
Both photographers have been featured in Kyotographie, an international photography festival held across Kyoto (hence the name) every year.
Kyotographie: Kawada Kikuji x Iwane Ai is the first ever photography exhibition held at Japan House London. The exhibition is organised in partnership with Kyotographie International Photography Festival and supported by Epson UK Ltd.

Haunting Tales, Gothic Atmosphere and Themed Cocktails – Welcome to the Edgar Allan Poe Speakeasy
Image in courtesy of FEVER UK
Edgar Allan Poe’s life was just as mysterious as his death.
Poe became an orphan just before his third birthday after his mother died in tuberculosis and his father abandoned the family. In his late teens, Poe lost his foster mother he had had a very close relationship with. Later, he also lost his wife at the age of just 22.
There are periods of Poe’s life that are poorly documented, full of gaps and mysteries, including a period from 1826 – 1833 and his final days.
At the age of 40, Edgar Allan Poe was found at Baltimore nearly unresponsive. He was taken to the hospital where he drifted in and out of consciousness. He was hallucinating and speaking nonsense when he was awake. An eerie detail is that he was found not wearing his own clothes. Instead of his usual black wool suit, he was wearing an ill-fitting cheap suit and a straw hat.
Edgar Allan Poe died on the 7th October 1849.
His is famous for his horror stories focusing on paranoia, betrayal, loss, and murder. Some his most famous – and scariest – stories are The Tell-Tale Heart, The Black Cat, The Raven, and The Masque of the Red Death.
These are the stories that will be taken off the page and one to the stage by Poe historians at the Edgar Allan Poe Speakeasy.
Image in courtesy of FEVER UK
Glaziers Hall will transform into a darkly elegant Gothic mansion where Poe historians and macabre led mixologists will guide you through a 90-minute journey of dark literature.
Image in courtesy of FEVER UK
Located on the south side of London Bridge, Glaziers Hall offers stunning views to River Themes and the Fishmongers’ Hall. The building is known for its historical significance and Victorian architecture.

Each tale is paired with a deliciously eerie cocktail or mocktail to transport you deep into Edgar Allan Poe’s haunting tales and dark fantasies.
Tale 1: Tell-Tale Heart – Paired with the Pale Blue Eye
Tale 2: The Black Cat – Paired with The Cat’s Meow
Tale 3: The Raven – Paired with the Nevermore

It’s mini cones of gelato scoops in a dangerously delicious head collision with Tiramisu, plus strawberry sauce everywhere. Thankfully, no one gets hurt. Add a Hot Wheels for extra spectacle (extra charge)!

Your experience starts right at the entrance where you enter a light-up turbine to undergo a quick airport-style security check. It was the most Insta-worthy security check we’ve ever experienced.
Note:You’re our only allowed to bring a A4 size bag.
After the security check, your real journey starts with a very interactive exhibition.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Did you know that Battersea Power Station was designed by architect Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, the same architect who designed the iconic red telephone box?
The exhibition re-creates Sir Giles Gilbert Scott’s London office featuring a desk, photos, objects, books, and – of course – blueprints of the Power Station.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
There is a touch-activated wall that shows how the power station was built, how it was damaged during the world wars and how it supplied electricity to London’s most famous buildings, including the Houses of Parliament and the Buckingham Palace.

Hear the telephone ringing on the desk in the other room? Pick it up and learn more about Battersea Power Station and how it operated during its golden years.

Light up the huge chimney decoration above your head by playing the maquette of the Power Station!
Use the joystick to collect and deliver coal from a boat to the Power Station, turn the valve handle to pump water into the boiler, control the steam flow, release the energy, and hit the big red button at the right moment to power up and watch the chimney light up above your head.

Test your knowledge at the quiz panel or use the tablet to see how the Power Station’s Art Deco Turbine Hall A looked like decades ago.

Make sure you arrive at least half an hour earlier than your time slot to have enough time to explore the exhibition and grab a drink (and some snacks).

‘London’s Kings Cross Station’, for example, is a salted caramel flavoured cocktail topped with cream and served in a glass ice cream cone.

‘The Strand’ is a refreshing blend of raspberry, cucumber and elderflower boozy iced tea. This cocktail is served in a disco ball and inspired by the first Twinings Tea Shop which opened on the Strand in 1719. Author of Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility, Jane Austen often visited the shop whenever she was in London to visit her brother, Henry.

‘Fleet Street’ is a black ink dark cherry Martini, that pays homage to the famous Fleet Street which has been regarded as the heart of British printing and publishing since the 16th century. And – of course – notorious for the murderer barber, Sweeny Todd.
