It’s May and all of the summery bit’s and bob’s are coming out of the wood work in London and I just wanted to share a few of my top tips for things to do throughout the month…
Street Feast’s Friday Nights in Haggerston
Every Friday a plethora of food stalls decent upon Haggerston, if you’re a foodie looking for something a little different to do in London and don’t mind traveling East this is just your thing! Street Feast is just that, a feast in the street, the yard in packed full of all of London’s favorite street food stalls and there is even an indoor cocktail bar with bookable tables, an outdoor main bar and lounge, and a raised dining terrace overlooking the yard, where Stripped Back by Ben Spalding will be served.
Street Feast are taking over an old Travis Perkins builders merchants on Kingsland Road for the whole of April, May and June so you have plenty of time to get yourself down there.

Propstore Pop-up Cafe At The South Bank
The national Theatre has re-opened the popular Propstore this month. The prop store is perfect for a sunny day on the South bank. It’s not just one of those normal riverside cafes either. The whole thing is built and put together with props from national Theatre productions, so you could easily be sitting in a chair from the set of King Lear or leaning against the crocodile from Peter Pan, oh best of all they label them all so you can boast to you’re friends later.
“Propstore will be open seven days a week throughout the summer from 3 May – 28 September from 12 noon daily, serving a selection of delicious street-food, English wines, Meantime Brewery Fresh Beer and Sipsmith spirits.”
