Roses and cucumbers

Posted by Robin on 30 July 2021 5 Comments

Developed by creative agency Space, the bus shelters feature an upside-down “living roof” made of roses and cucumbers, while an infused scent is dispensed throughout the shelter to tempt commuters. A doorbell is also engraved on with the sign “Press for the Peculiar” that plays music while the voice of a Victorian gentleman conveys a monologue.

— Hendrick’s Gin has taken over selected bus shelters in London, Manchester, Brighton, Cardiff and Liverpool to promote its new Gin Cucumber Lemonade. Read more in Victorian-Style Bus Shelters Scented With Roses and Cucumber to Promote Gin at Adweek.
