Inspired by Paul Raymond -- a property developer, club owner and adult magazine publisher -- the King of Soho Gin pop-up aims to celebrate the life of the iconic man. Launched by Harold Raymond, the son of the subject, this pop-up will take place at 21 Great Windmill Street, the first property Paul Raymond allegedly purchased in the area.
The King of Soho Gin pop-up will operate for six weeks and will feature a myriad of gin-based drinks, small plates and plenty of live entertainment. On Friday nights, the King of Soho Gin pop-up will host live comedy performances, burlesque dancing, music and something referred to as "adult story time." The pop-up will also host an experimental gin masterclass to celebrate the fifth year of the spirit company.
