Tiki or Lowbrow galleries/stuff in London?

Pages: 1 4 replies

I'm in London for a short trip but wanted to get any thoughts on stuff to see here that's tiki or lowbrow related. thanks

TraderVics, Mahiki, South London Pacific, British Museum for Tiki.... Low Brow, there are plenty of cool galleries in East London and some in West.
Get in touch if you need anything else

Trailer Happiness is a great lowbrow setting for yummy cocktails too (or at least was last time I visited a few months ago).

If you're here next Thursday, the ICA is screening Kon-Tiki with live music:

Not Tiki, but if your definition of lowbrow includes street art, you may also be interested in these current exhibitions in London:

And if you're really into street art, I'll be happy to list a few noteworthy streets.

Cheers,
