As the sun finally graces us with its seasonal presence, May’s free print edition of Kentishtowner hits the streets today too. And it’s so bright and optimistic, you’re gonna have to wear shades to read it (probably).
Inside, we hear from musician Polly Scattergood on her audio-visual exhibition currently to be found at Mario’s Cafe, meet the secret hedgehog community of Regent’s Park and discover more about Malden Road’s latest pop-up shop, called Grrrr!
Food reviews include five essential things to try from the brand new menu at Camden’s Daughter, lunch for under a tenner at Aisuru sushi and the classic pho soup at Chalk Farm’s long-running Vietnamese, Thanh Binh.
And on the cover, we reveal the potential for a brand new park to rival New York’s acclaimed High Line running on disused railway bridges from Kentish Town Road to King’s Cross, plus three more projects that could transform the K-Town environment for the better.
Grab a copy, have a read, then add your comments to our survey and let’s see if we can make the Camden High Line actually happen.
Here’s where to find your free copy:
