Pubs and Architecture - Editor's Choice, Lifestyle

Tom Armstrong picks his coolest, quirkiest and downright awesomest events from the week ahead.



From 23rd June

The reUNION Inn @ Union Street, Southwark.

As part of the London Festival of Architecture (see below), Southwark's Union Street will be home to a 19th Century style pub serving a range of beers from London micro-breweries. Also on offer are a limited amount of bespoke rooms for you to get your head down overnight, all designed by some of Europe's most exciting young creative teams. And what's more, they're not even using the word 'pop-up' to advertise it – full marks from me.

23rd / 24th June
London Festival of Architecture @ various venues

Anyone with a keen eye for detail will have noticed that London is full of buildings. If you're not sure what one of these is, best thing to do is walk in a straight line until you reach a large brick or stone obstacle. This is a building. Here at Spoonfed we're always banging on about how brilliant they are, so the London Festival of Architecture is a must on our watch. The city-wide Festival will focus on three London areas over three weekends, with talks, walks, lectures, exhibitions and more. We especially like the sound of The Developing City: an interactive exhibition charting the City’s history from the Romans through to the future.
