The Late Edition

London's evening edition. Independent, updated daily.

Food festivals and drink events in London this week

Markets, late kitchens, the pubs that are worth the journey, and the strips where dinner is the evening rather than the thing before it. Prices here are what a main course or a pint actually costs, not the cheapest thing on the menu, and anywhere serving after eleven is flagged.

What to expect

39 listings filed under Food and drink. The busiest rooms are Woolwich Works, Hyde Park and Leadenhall Market. Concentrated in Mayfair, Woolwich and Shoreditch.

Nearby

Every listing here has been checked against the venue that is putting it on.

Friday

23 October
  1. Food and drink From £12

    Darts at Flight Club, Shoreditch

    17:00 Flight Club, Shoreditch

    Darts with the scoring done for you and a camera on the board, booked by the oche rather than the person. Cheaper before six and on a weekday, and it does run late.

  2. Food and drink From £10

    Ping pong at Bounce, Old Street

    17:00 Bounce, Shoreditch

    Tables by the hour in a basement that used to be a ping pong hall, which is a rare thing to be able to say. Loud after nine and quiet before seven.

  3. Food and drink From £11

    Bowling at All Star Lanes, Brick Lane

    16:00 All Star Lanes, Shoreditch

    Four lanes in a basement done out as an American diner, which sounds worse than it is. Booked by the lane for up to eight, and the kitchen runs as late as the bowling.

  4. Food and drink From £30

    Bottomless brunch in Shoreditch

    12:00 Shoreditch, Shoreditch

    Cheaper than Soho and longer sittings, mostly around Redchurch Street and the Boundary. Sundays run into the evening here in a way they do not further west.
