For 3-days only – visit a Heinz Beanz museum pop-up

Your guide to London's culture and transport news and events taking place across the city.

For just three days, a “museum” to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Heinz firm will be in London. It’s essentially a pop-up, and according to the blurb will be a “celebration of everything we know and love about the humble baked bean”.

There will be something called an “interactive experience”, which may or may not involve sitting in a bathtub of beans while an adjudicator from the Guinness World of Records times you. There will also be personalised tins of beans on sale.

Incidentally, there never were 57 varieties of Heinz products, it was just a random number that Henry Heinz chose because it sounded good.

The Beans Museum is open for three days, and entry is free.

Fri 30th Aug – 2pm – 7pm
Sat 31st Aug – 10an – 6pm
Sun 1st Sept – 10am – 6pm

It takes place at the White Space, 5 Great Newport Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 7JB.

This website has been running now for over a decade, and while advertising revenue contributes to funding the website, it doesn't cover the costs. That is why I have set up a facility with DonorBox where you can contribute to the costs of the website and time invested in writing and research for the news articles.

It's very similar to the way The Guardian and many smaller websites are now seeking to generate an income in the face of rising costs and declining advertising.

Whether it's a one-off donation or a regular giver, every additional support goes a long way to covering the running costs of this website, and keeping you regularly topped up doses of Londony news and facts.
