Best known as a total shit hole who would have thought Surbiton could deliver a creative gem such as a human sized Mouse Trap game? I particularly like this example of such as there is no “art theory” attached. Just pissed up people, having a laugh and raising money for charity.

“Over a few pints a group of friends decided it would be a great idea to build a life size replica of the Mousetrap game… and here it is – The complete giant Mouse Trap day at the Lamb pub in Surbiton. We raised over £2000 for the Shooting Star Children’s Hospice… brilliant day…”

Here are some more images of the same concept from around the world – the burlesque mice is a brilliant touch.
