The Brunel Museum`s world music series was literally below ground in a tunnel shaft. It gets my vote for "best place to go to escape a heat wave / hide from a zombie apocalypse."
After a brief talk about the history of the site (at one point it was home to London`s first, and one assumes last, underwater brothel) we listened to the hypnotic beats of Adriano Alewale`s large range of percussion instruments, accompanied by Diego Rio on guitar. There was even a small bar set up in the shaft! I didn't partake in any alcoholic drinks however as the staircase down the shaft would have been somewhat challenging to negotiate whilst tipsy.
