Love adventures?
Then you’ll love Secret Adventures which put on adventures such as kayaking the canals of London through to swimming in lakes.
We the community of Love Pop Ups London have experienced various adventures with Secret Adventures and loved them all. Here is a list of amazing adventures we have experienced:
Kayaking
Love kayaking then you’ll love this urban kayak adventure. If you have never kayaked before though that’s fine as this adventure is suitable for everyone over 18 years old.
Getting all kitted out you’ll then embark on a journey down the canals.
At 6km the route follows the Limehouse Cut and River Lea with houseboats, warehouses, swans and other birdlife along the way. After paddling for 1.5 hours you’ll arrive at Crate Brewerywhere you can grab a delicious pizzas or even sip on a beer (not included in the price).
Then it’s on home via nearby Hackney Wick overground and rail station (2 minute walk away).

Farmyard Cinema
Love farmyards and cinema then you can watch an award winning adventure documentary on a farm in central London with Secret Adventures on certain dates.
Enjoy drinks around the campfire, tasty street food from our onsite trader and free marshmallows all around a campfire followed on by a film in the barn.
The farmyard in where the cinema is, is set within a beautiful, architecturally designed, covered barn at the Oasis City Farm near Waterloo. By day, the farm runs therapeutic and educational activities for children and helps them engage with nature, farming and the outdoors.
On 23 August Secret Adventures showed an iconic adventure documentary about the wild terrain of the American West. The film showed four brave men who train and ride a string of wild horses 3,000 miles from Mexico to Canada. The epic adventure included spectacular landscapes, runaway horses, a sassy donkey, perilous mountain passes, sickness, injury and death. The film also has won over 15 film awards including the audience award at the Banff Mountain Film Festival.
