Street food from all over the world! Whatever you can dream of, they've probably got it. The curries are particularly good, as is the Mexican van. Very reasonably priced as well. Only on weekdays.

It's a bit of walk from the flat, but it's well worth it. The decor is a little tired but you can forgive them that. Authentic Italian Pizzas starting at just £3! Staff are so lovely too.

A pop-up mall in shipping containers? What's not to like. This place is not just a gimmick, it has great food, cool independent stores and is a lovely place to hang out with great outdoor space.
