Top of the Pops!

Everybody knows London is all about pop-up-appeal these days. If any shop or restaurant is left standing longer than a fortnight, English Heritage stick a blue plaque up. Here at Spoonfed we love a spot of temporary titillation more than any, so we embraced the news that this ultra cool pop-up vintage shop will be coming to Shoreditch next week. We also gave blink-and-you'll-miss-it dining experience Disappearing Dining Club a go, and were pleasantly surprised.

The music team interviewed an amazing singer from Iceland, no not Stacey Solomon, Olof Arnalds, the arts team caught up with surrealist artist Lukas Strebel, and finally the comedy team had a natter with chat show host Tom Allen.

Friday 25th

The Other Art Fair is in full swing, providing enjoyment for buyers and window shoppers alike. Elsewhere, London's only nighttime market, The Long Table, opens in Dalston this Friday, offering some of the capital's finest street food. 

Those loveable Hertforshire boys Friendly Fires are playing at the Brixton Academy, and in the clubbing world we reckon Simmer at Basing House is looking pretty awesome.

Saturday 26th

See the whole of York Hall filled with fluffy white clouds this Saturday, while the equally surreal TV show Twin Peaks elebrates its 20th anniversary at the Twin Peaks Festival.

As night falls you can combine decadent nightlife and libertarian excess with, um, bingo at the phenomenal Underground Rebel Bingo Club. Comedy and jazz combine at The Horne Section, while our clubbing pick is Bugged Out with Martyn and Julio Bashmore.

Next week

The people behind the rooftop film club are back, but this time they're underground. Check out the Underground Film Club showing a selection of cult classics throughout the week.

An all star performance of Ealing comedy classic The Ladykillers is a must see at the Gielgud Theatre next week. Alterntatively, indulge in a bit of Shakespeare at the Donmar Warehouse with Richard II.

If you're the sort of person who gets off on experimental-pop, then you should be checking out Unknown Mortal Orchestra on Monday. And if good-time, fist pumping rock is your thing, Superchunk are at the Scala on Thursday

Finally, Tuesday sees the opening of Counterpoint, an exhibition celebrating art by and about refugees.
