While London's 'Drink, Shop & Do' may seem like any other crafting studio, at night, the quaint little shop transforms into the ultimate bar and club. In fact, with so many fun things to do, customers may end up staying from sun up all the way to sun down.
Drink, Shop & Do is a bright and airy shop located in London's Kings Cross neighborhood. During the day, the hybrid space functions as a cozy cafe and gift shop, but, at night the store hosts everything from evening crafting classes to private parties and even bachelorette experiences. This means that customers can enjoy a boozy brunch, pick up some unique gift items and even learn how to design their own jewelry all in one space. In other words, Drink, Shop & Do is a one-stop-shop for crafty millennials and a perfect spot for those attending Trend Hunter’s London innovation conference to explore the rise of maker culture.
