BOX Piccadilly Circus Sing-A-Long Bottomless Brunch Review

The Sing Along Brunch at BOX Piccadilly is less about politely clinking glasses over eggs and more about stepping into a full blown daytime party, complete with a banging sound track. Running every Saturday 3pm – 5pm at BOX in Piccadilly Circus, it offers 2 hours of unlimited drinks and a choice of a brunch plate, but more importantly it’s accompanied by group Karaoke with screens around the room and the ability to choose your own track to stand up and sing to.

Joining a group table, the energy was already flowing when we arrived at about 3.15pm, prosecco flying everywhere and the host getting everyone hyped up on the mic. Our host explained that there’s a QR code on the tables that lets you queue up your chosen song, which then flashes onto the big screens while you’re handed a microphone and the entire room sings along with you.

As the drinks progressed the whole thing turned into a party, with everyone having so much fun and joining in. Standing on chairs, group performances, secret singers having their moment of fame, it honestly was such fun and a great shout for a birthday, hen, or any occasion where you want to get your mates together and truly belly laugh at each other.

It’s gloriously extra and turns the whole room into one big, supportive karaoke crowd.

Food wise, there’s a selection of brunch and lunch options to choose from. I had the vegan burger, while my friend choose the vegan gyros. Both super tasty but to be honest we ordered quiet near the end where food had become an afterthought, so my suggestion would be to get your food choice in early before you forget about it amidst the madness (and prosecco).

We mostly stuck to prosecco, which flowed freely, but there’s a solid cocktail list too. We tried the BOX Iced Tea which was dangerously easy to drink and a classic Aperol Spritz that hit the spot.

Overall, it’s loud, lively, and unapologetically camp, the kind of brunch you book when you’re ready to celebrate something, or simply celebrate the weekend itself.

Times: Every Saturday, 3pm – 5pm

Price: £52 per person

Address: BOX Piccadilly Circus, 21, 23 Shaftesbury Ave, Piccadilly Circus, London W1D 7EF

Clerkenwell Vintage Fashion Fair – January 30th

Jan 25, 2022
2 min read

Updated: May 28, 2024

The best vintage fair is back in London, and this time on the 30th of January, between 11am and 5pm at the Freemasons Hall in Covent Garden. The 1st of seven fairs in 2022, the event will be 6 whole hours of vintage heaven. You can browse through the fabulous collections of over 50 of the very best dealers in vintage fashion, accessories, trimmings and textiles and shop for vintage looks from the 1900’s onwards, alongside pre-loved designer labels from Biba, Ossie Clarke and Dior to YSL, Chanel and more.

The fair is a favourite among designers, stylists, costume department gurus, celebrities, students, vintage lovers and conscious fashion buyers alike. It’s also the perfect place to take your treasured period piece or preloved treasure to be altered or restyled on the spot, by an expert alteration team.

The UK is the fourth-largest producer of textile waste in Europe producing 206.456 tonnes of textile waste per year. That equates to around 3.1kg of textile waste per year per person, of which some 1.7kg ends up in landfills. However, shopping vintage is one way to combat this issue, and the fair is the perfect place to exercise your ethical consumer ways! Entry prices are £3 for students and £5 for adults, and although there will be some entry tickets on the door, due to Health and safety measures it is advisable to book your entry slot as the number of visitors in the building will need to be monitored.

Freemasons Hall is conveniently located between Holborn and Covent Garden tube station. There is ample free parking in the surrounding area on Sundays and an NCP car park in Parker Mews. There will be food and refreshments served all day in the cafe and bar so you can take a well-earned rest with your friends between browsing.
