In the dismal April drizzle, what could be better than freshly made pizza and cupcakes for lifting your spirits, writes Emily Chudy.

From 12 April, and continuing every Friday in May and June, Street Feast continues to give street food a gourmet makeover in Merchant Yard, Kingsland Road, boasting the best of London’s healthy, tasty and exotic food from some best-loved traders (including Big Apple Hot Dogs and Sweet Tooth Factory) and a special street food restaurant from rising superstar chef Ben Spalding.

The vibrant market, long loved by locals and visitors alike, will also play host to art, music and film screenings, as well as a specialist cocktail bar, meaning there will truly be something for everyone.

Entry to the event is free, and with more surprise food and drinks activities to be revealed, make sure to get down to Merchant Yard and sample high-quality food at an affordable price. Find out more at www.streetfeastlondon.com.
