London's coolest neighbourhood is getting a new weekly street food market
Last year Time Out crowned Leyton the coolest neighbourhood in London – and now things in this part of east London are about to get even cooler. A brand new street market is launching on Francis Road on Saturday July 5. KERB – which recently announced plans for a new sports bar in Spitalfields Market – will be bringing 20 rotating food vendors to Francis Road, reports Leytonstoner. Vendors will include Uzbek plov rice bowls from Oshpaz, homestyle Syrian food from Utopia, Vietnamese family recipes from Hanoi Cà Phê, mother-daughter Japanese cooking from Banzai Kitchen, and tacos from Mexclub. The market opens for business at 10am (and closes at 4pm), and there will also be vendors selling local produce from the likes of Woodkin Mushrooms micro-farm, pickle pros Shedletskys, cakes and bakes from Liv's Baked Goodies and Jones' Crumpets. You won't be shopping in silence either, with DJs from local music shop Dreamhouse Records providing the soundbed. Leyton is part of the mayor's new 'Summer Streets' scheme, which will see some of London's most popular neighbourhood spots go car-free for longer during the summer months. The areas are spread across the city, from Leyton to Brixton, Shoreditch and the West End, and the project is being funded by £300,000 from the Mayor's Summer Streets Fund.

One of London's most famous markets is getting a new terrace bar
A brand new sports bar – complete with an outdoor terrace – is set to open in Spitalfields Market this August. KERB Social Club comes from, funnily enough, street food folk KERB, who also run Seven Dials Market in Covent Garden. The plan is to create a space where 'American sports bar energy' meets 'proper pub comfort'. The bar's outdoor terrace will overlook Spitalfields Market. Inside, there'll be a large main room, as well as five private rooms, which you'll be able to book for everything from karaoke to pool nights, darts, gaming and chess nights. KERB Social Club will feature three food traders: fried chicken from Only Jerkin', hot dogs from Oh My Dog, and Detroit-style pizza from Cutie Pies. Speaking about the new bar, general manager of KERB Social Club Abi Watson said: 'KERB Social Club is what happens when you take the spirit of a proper British local, mix it with the casual chaos and fun of an American sports bar, and give it an inclusive, modern KERB twist. This isn't about gimmicks – it's a reminder that community hangouts really matter. And for us, opening our first Social Club in a legendary market like Spitalfields makes it even more special.'
