Since 2010, the Gingerline dining experience has been popping up at irregular locations along the stretch of the overground railway line - nicknamed the 'ginger line' due to its orange colour on the Tube map - that runs from Highbury to Crystal Palace.
Gingerline HQ has been created and curated by a group of friends, united in their love of theatre, art and food.
Susannah Mountford, co-founder of Gingerline wanted to create her idea of the perfect night out and encourage people to explore parts of London they mightn't go to otherwise. She also wanted to explore how food, art and design co-exist and how they can reinforce each other in different and interesting ways.
The first Gingerline took place in the Brunel Museum in Rotherhithe, complete with top hats, a folk singer and a Victorian menu of braised hogget shank and coddled egg. Other venues have included a fancy-dress-shop-turned-Russian-circus in New Cross and an art-gallery-turned-submarine in Shoreditch.
