- Pleasant Lady Jian Bing Trading Stall hatch opens in Soho's Greek Street
Given how popular they are in China, it's actually a little surprising that London doesn't have more places serving up jian bing. Essentially crispy skin crepes, stuffed with savoury fillings, they're folded and wrapped and designed to be eaten on the go. A quick google showed that there's a hatch on Newport Street doing them, but when Pleasant Lady Jian Bing Trading Stall opens on Greek Street today it doesn't appear to have too much in the way of
... - Old Laundry Yard is bringing more food traders to Shepherds Bush Market

If you do like to be beside the seaside, head down to the newest Swingers, which will be opening up in the former BHS flagship building off Oxford Street to bring you cocktails, crazy golf, and loads of (as of yet unannounced) street food vendors, including one famously Instagrammable dessert seller we’re yet to find out about. - Head to Spike + Earl for a preview of the future Peckham Levels' street food vendors
If you live down Peckham way, then you may already know that the area's iconic multi-storey carpark (the one that Frank's lives on top of) is almost ready to unveil itself as the street food-laden Peckham Levels. To get us nice and warmed up though, Levels is now running a six-week weekend residency at the carpark's neighbour, Spike + Earl.
The idea is that each weekend, the Peckham coffee and cocktail bar will showcase various local vendors, giving us a chance to

... - Yumplings comes to Dinerama from the people behind Yum Bun
We can never get enough dumpling news, to be frank. And getting the news that Yum Bun are opening a dumplings spot is doubly good.
Just launched in Dinerama, we're told they'll be serving up "Northern Chinese-inspired Xian spices with cumin and coriander, chive-infused oils and rich fillings inside a fresh and delicate dumpling case" and they're calling that "The Big Hug".
