Hendrick's Gin will begin its tour of the capital in a double-decker bus disguised as a giant cucumber next week. Named Hendrick’s Extraordinary Roving Bus of Exceptionally Refined Travel, or Herbert for short, the bus will provide a place for commuters to escape the mayhem of London's busy transport system while enjoying a G&T. The campaign will be amplified via the Hendrick’s UK Facebook and Twitter accounts, with passengers invited to share their travel woes or triumphs via the hashtag #HendricksMinistry.
Where: There will be stops at Victoria Street, Westminster (SW1E 5NT), Southbank (SE1 8XT), Theobalds Road, Holborn (WC1X 8SP) and Euston Road, Kings Cross (NW1 2SX).
