Review: Pizza East Kentish Town
Some well-priced pizzas starting at £6, a gorgeous interior – and an undeniable buzz at the bar. We are liking this new addition to K-Town’s dining scene very much

A feverish quest for a Full English lead to a crack-of-dawn stumble into Meadows recently. The café is slap bang in the centre of KT Road, replaced long-standing pun-tastic lunchtime joint Sam Widges. But despite the bright new signage (font fail alert!), it remains the sort of place that blends into the street scenery rather …
Shrimpy’s is the Bistrotheque-owned ‘Calexican’ ‘pop-up’ (it runs till 2014) that’s been on our hit list for ages
Hardcore Kentishtowners were lit up when our universally acclaimed kebab joint, E. Mono, confirmed they were taking over the vacant shop next door.

It feels authentic without being themey. We investigate the new rustic Argentinian place down by Mornington Crescent
Amidst the tourist chaos, Camden Lock has some surprisingly foodie stalls, but they tend more towards cupcakes and hog roasts than high-tech culinary art. However, Chin Chin Labs has become one of the coolest destinations for sweet-toothed Londoners. Hidden amongst the clothes stalls on a cobbled stretch opposite Shaka Zulu, you’ll see a beautifully-designed, minimalist …
Gabby Young’s album launch extravaganza has put all other gigs to shame. It was nothing short of an indoor festival. Never will you find such an intricate tapestry of cupcakes, clothing and cards at a pre-show vintage market. The Scala ceased to exist and we were beckoned into the town of ‘Little Gabblington’ as the …
