Vaulty Towers

Located in London’s Waterloo theatrer district, this pub is owned and operated by the same people as the underground (literally in this case, as it exists directly beneath Waterloo Station) art space, The Vaults. 

After a performance’s run is over, stage props and sets, lighting elements and costumes make their way to the pub, where they find a new life as unconventional interior design. Fancy a pint while sitting in a crescent moon? Want to sip your cider in a mini tree house? Prefer your lager in the Cave of Wonders? Vaulty Towers offers some of the quirkiest drinking perches in London.

These design elements are swapped out every six months or so, and even the graffiti-like exterior occasionally gets repainted. Vaulty Towers can also boast eight taps, a cask ale, and a decent selection of ciders, cocktails on tap, and a basement-level bar that hosts quiz nights, DJ sessions, stand-up comedy and other events.
