The attraction, found in London’s Canary Wharf, is found at Harbord Square.

The outdoor area has everything you’d expect, including big yellow taxis and American street signs pointing to Broadway.

You can grab a newspaper from the iconic local bodega USA Today stand (it will cost you 50 cents) or pose outside the Brooklyn brownstone street doors.

But follow the queue and you’ll spot a huge big yellow school bus.

And inside you’ll find £1 slices of pizza, with classics such as Margherita, pepperoni or a spin for the Brits with cheese and marmite.

Don’t worry if you’re worried about waiting – there are lots of live performances too.

This includes break dancers and steel drums, so you will be kept entertained while waiting.

And many of the restaurants nearby will be offering themed food and drink with a discount.

Hawksmoor is offering a free Big Apple Martini for parties of four, while Feel Like June has become Feels Like Brooklyn with New York-style bagels and mac & cheese.

Patty & Bun are giving away free NY Sours with their Classic American burgers and Fish Game has free prosecco when dining.

You’ll have to be quick to visit – it’s only running until the weekend.

But expect other pop-ups along the way, with gelato stalls and beauty events too.
