A cold-day visit to Pop Brixton in 2016: Supercute coffee, shipping-container spaces and a generous jerk chicken wrap from Mama’s Jerk, with reflections on the changing market streets.
Two char siu pork buns, hot green tea and a window seat on Old Compton Street: my February 2016 lunch at Shackfuyu Soho, with original video stills.
A 2016 Valentine’s shopping trip to Alfies Antique Market: rooftop coffee and a scone, a vintage cocktail shaker, Soho chocolates and a Cecil Court card.
A quiet Soho morning, a seat at the bar and a stack of bacon and blueberry pancakes with warm maple syrup. My Jackson & Rye breakfast from the 2016 archive.
A 2016 Chinatown walk from New Year lantern preparations to Baozi Inn buns, Happy Lemon salted-cheese tea, warm taiyaki and the journey home with two fragile cream cakes.
