- Vinegar Yard is a brand new eating, drinking and shopping spot for London Bridge
Not happy with already boasting Borough Market and Flat Iron Square, London Bridge is getting a whole new eating, drinking, shopping and art space. This time it's the turn of Vinegar Yard - and it comes from the people behind the nearby and aforementioned Flat Iron Square.
The space is a combination of street food, bars, container pop-up shops and there's a big old
... - Mother Clucker takes off at Stansted Airport
As anyone who's ever had to pass through a UK airport recently will know, the food and drink side of things can be a little disappointing. If you're not after a liquid breakfast of Fosters and are craving something more substantial than what you can grab at Pret, then pickings are pretty slim.
So we're pleased to hear that newish Stansted Airport spot the Camden Bar & Kitchen is doing its best to sort things out for foodie travellers there. They've
... - Cook Love at Dinerama sees the team behind Michelin-starred Pied a Terre take on street food
Normally you'd expect to find start-ups using street food as a way to test their food. But a new restaurant hitting London's street food scene already has that expertise in spades. Pied a Terre opened 28 years ago, but now the Michelin-starred restaurant's chef Asimakis Chaniotis and Pied à Terre Founder, David Moore are taking to the streets.
As first reported by trade title ...

In the second week of My Million Pound Menu, where Fred Sirieix and others are handing out wads of cash to promising restaurant start-ups, London stalwart Baba G's has come out top.

- KERB is going completely meat-free in Devonshire Square
A brand new KERB street food market is on the way but it's one with a difference - it'll be completely meat-free. They're linking up with WeWork, who have a location on the square and who already have a meat-free policy in action.
This will be the 10th KERB market, and as well as the traders on show, they'll also be developing future vegan and vegetarian offers there with their "inKERBator" programme so expect to
... - KERB is coming to Crouch End and Peckham, mixing street food and food market for KERB X
If you've been a fan of the various KERB street food markets across town, then you'll definitely be interested on what's coming next. They're getting ready to launch KERB X - which sees them mixing their street food know-how with a new Saturday market - on opposite sides of town.
First up, launching on 25 August is KERB X Hornsey Town Hall in Crouch End. This one is part of the refurb of the building - adding an arts centre and
... - Street Feast's latest location is Wood Green with Hawker Union
There's no ending to Street Feast's ambitions as the latest street food market heads further north than usual - setting up shop in Wood Green. As usual, it's a mix of bars and street food, all wrapped up in a covered market (formerly a disused warehouse).
Here's what food is there from launch:
- White Men Can’t Jerk - with their Caribbean chicken
- Petare featuring crispy cornbread
- Dank Van American sandwiches shouldn't be Kentish Town's secret
Updated 18/5/18 with new dates
Down a tiny alley in Kentish Town, barely a few steps away from the Pret and Greggs on the High Street, you'll find Dank Van. No, it's not an unpleasantly damp and cold motor vehicle - rather a street food purveyor of splendid American sandwiches. It's the brainchild of US chef Jason Winther, who lives on the mews and thought he'd see if there was a market for really authentic American snackage at lunchtime. Trouble is, he's not
... - Pleasant Lady Jian Bing Trading Stall hatch opens in Soho's Greek Street
Given how popular they are in China, it's actually a little surprising that London doesn't have more places serving up jian bing. Essentially crispy skin crepes, stuffed with savoury fillings, they're folded and wrapped and designed to be eaten on the go. A quick google showed that there's a hatch on Newport Street doing them, but when Pleasant Lady Jian Bing Trading Stall opens on Greek Street today it doesn't appear to have too much in the way of
... - Old Laundry Yard is bringing more food traders to Shepherds Bush Market
London's food market scene continues to boom with the news that Shepherds Bush Market is getting an extension. Old Laundry Yard, which launches next week, mixes a range of street food traders along with a community space for workshops and events.

... - The Prince returns to West Brompton for the summer bringing in Coqfighter and Foley's
We're definitely getting to spring/summer market time as more outdoor markets are throwing off their roofs. The latest is The Prince in West Brompton (from the same people behind Pergola).

- Eat17 Hammersmith food hall will combine a local produce food market with a street food scene
Hard on the heels of Feast Canteen opening up at Kings Mall, Hammersmith is getting another food hall with a difference. E17 is part artisan food store, part convenience store and also a dining in experience under one roof.
- Michelin-starred street food trader Hawker Chan pops up at KERB in King's Cross
Updated 14/3/18 with a first look
So, since writing this story, it seems that the appearance of Hawker Chan at Kerb is going to be... rather busy for the duration. We popped over to KERB in King's Cross to check him out in action and - BLIMEY, the queue is a little on the epic
