Vintage Champagne Van Outside Prestigious Office

It may not exactly be street food but it certainly supports the whole movement to 'pop up' bars and restaurants, street food, food trucks and the UK's love for al fresco eating and drinking (weather permitting, of course).

Searcy's vintage style Champagne van is at 30 St Mary Axe (also known as 'the Gherkin'), where they also operate the top three floors of this prestigious office building as an exclusive private members club, unique restaurant and bar; with private dining rooms and an event space.

The bar will remain at its present location through September.
