North End Road Market

North End Road Market is my new insider tip for cheap fruits and vegetables!




Chelsea football fans go crazy!


Openings

On the first Thursday of every month the galleries and museums of east London open their doors late and there are plenty of events. We went to Kemistry Gallery, Carl Freedman Gallery (the paintings by David Brian Smith were great!), The Rag Factory and more.


Jiggling Atoms in The Rag Factory. This is a project by some recent graduates from BA Illustration. They have made work which deals with particle physics as its subject matter.

Such a good atmosphere!




On our way, we passed Boxpark Shoreditch, a pretty cool place!
BOXPARK is constructed of stripped, and refitted shipping containers, to create unique, low cost, low risk, ‘box shops’. Filled with a unique mix of international fashion and lifestyle brands, galleries and cafés, it’s the world’s first ‘pop-up’ mall – so named because its basic building blocks are inherently movable: they can, and will, pop up anywhere in the world!

Busking

Next to busy people in the tube, there are often buskers, on pitches that were actually made for that. I really enjoy stopping and immersing in the music. For me a facility to escape the rush for a while.
