Tesco is bringing a giant Fruity Pick ‘n’ Mix to London’s Southbank, encouraging grown-ups to choose a healthier snack while tapping into a sense of nostalgia, fun and childhood joy. The playful pop-up is launching to celebrate the expansion of Tesco’s Free Fruit & Veg for Schools programme to 1,000 schools, giving passers-by the chance to choose a piece of fresh fruit or veg for free - from crisp apples and juicy oranges to colourful peppers and creamy avocados. To sweeten the deal, the first 100 passersby will take home an exclusive Tesco fruit and veg plushie alongside their tasty snack. Designed to look like a giant classic pick ‘n’ mix bag but supersized, the eye-catching blue and white structure will be popping up on London’s Southbank on Wednesday 16 September from 8:30am to 6pm, offering a nostalgic reminder of the simple joys of school snack time. Date : Wednesday 16 September 2026 Time : 8:30am - 6pm Location : Queen’s Walk, London Southbank - next to the London Eye and Jubilee Gardens Cost : Free - fruit and veg given out on a first-come, first-served basis Nearest station : Waterloo
