There’s been a similar trend popping up in a lot of major cities around the world lately: the pop-up shop. And nowhere is this more evident than in London. Small retail boutiques with limited-edition merchandise appear for a few days, often in unlikely places, then disappear without a trace. While this adds an element of surprise to shopping, there’s always one bargain that can be easily found: New York Habitat vacation accommodations in London. So book one today and pop over to the city.

Of course, as with most things, England’s capital puts its own spin on this latest trend. So instead of just clothing labels, expect to see pop-up photography exhibits, restaurants, even theatre spaces. Each year, London has had a pop-up pavilion in Hyde Park designed by a renowned architect, as well as pop-up ice skating rinks every winter, and recently there have been pop-up Polaroid shops, gourmet cupcake vendors, tea rooms and underground art exhibits.

There’s no point in listing the numerous pop-up events currently taking place in London since they will often be gone within a matter of weeks, if not days. But Time Out London is always a good source for such information.

To stay in an area where pop-ups occur most frequently—and where there is always an unlimited amount of action that shows no signs of disappearing—consider these New York Habitat apartment rentals in London:
