Folly for a Flyover

What makes London oh so special is it’s amazing ability to show you something completely new and unexpected. Folly for a Flyover is one of those places that is so unique and creative, it really can make your regular life feel quite hum drum.
Cycling along the canal, you stumble upon a collection of wooden bricks, a floating pontoon, some hand made wooden chairs and friendly looking folk enjoying the weekend. It’s hard to describe what this place actually is, it’s a cinema and performance place but it also seems to be where they hold yoga, stop motion workshops, mask painting for kids and a variety of other activities that they host for free or a very small fee.
There is a floating pontoon which is manned by a chap who rents out his row boats for £2 every half hour. It’s all very cute.
As for the venue itself, there seems to be a little bar area and a scattering of tables and chairs. This is where some attractive twenty somethings with degrees in mixed media art serve up tasty filter coffee using Climpson and Sons roast and toasted bagels with crispy bacon. Two coffees and two bagels will set you back a fair £7.50. For the kids there is soft serve ice cream with a flake and juice. Further evidence that this is a family intended venue. As for opening hours, it seems to be there most weekends and some week day evenings you’ll see performances advertised. It’s certainly worth checking out.
