Paddington Knows How To Party - Dance Pop-up
There was a carnival atmosphere in the air; as BID company colleagues, local residents and college students enjoyed an hour of free, feel-good dance in Merchant Square.


Speakerbox Street Party transformed the usually calm grassed area in front of the Merchant Square big screen into a lively dance floor for 60 minutes filled with movement and music.
Funded by the BID; the lunchtime dance pop-up was designed to give everyone in the area an opportunity to take time out of their day, step away from screens and enjoy some much-needed escapism.
Participating in the dancing was really refreshing – I really enjoyed taking a break from work. Thank you.

It’s lovely to see people dancing and all the happy vibes. There is so much positivity here.


Given the requests for a return visit and feedback in recent wellbeing surveys of our BID companies that employees identify managing anxiety at work a priority, we’ll be inviting you to join us back on the dance floor in spring 2027.
