What's Wapping?
Beautiful Panton chairs at the Wapping Project. But they may remind you of the place's hydraulic past by leaving your behind a little moist at the end of your yummy meal.

If you fancy eating a fry-up amongst turbines and boilers, avant-garde artwork and real-time installations, then the Wapping Project is for you.

It may not be new, but this old school pumping station is ever changing.

Perhaps not the World's Greatest Secret Agents but Dangermouse & Jemini are the hottest duo on the hip-hop scene since Eminem & 50 Cents. Tonight at Scala. 7:30pm. 275 Pentonville Rd, N1. £12 on door.
Wallow in lonely lyrics and sweet harmonies at Market Place as it's Lovesick night tonight. 7pm-1am. 11 Market Place, W1. Free.

Described as a space where 'anything can happen', the Wapping Project is applauded (and the Tate condemned as I have learned) for celebrating (instead of tearing down) the raw space that it inhabits.

Get cosy in the boiler room and be happy you're not in another minimalist hellhole.

Arts, entertainment and well-trainered patrons, my only criticism would
be, why only an Australian wine list, but I guess with so much else to choose from, some things have to be decided for you.
