London’s best pop-up Design Festival cafés
The Sorting Office
Enjoy a pint of Metropolitan Line-inspired ale brewed by the Camden Town Brewery at Transport for London’s pop-up, or grab some pulled pork at pop-ups by Jamie Oliver’s Barbecoa, Pro Chile Sodastream and Gelupo. (thedesignjunction.co.uk)
Pitfield at Tent
Interior designer Shaun Clarkson and textile designer Paul Brewster of east London’s Pitfield bring their idiosyncratic junk shop chic to Tent. Think reclaimed packing crates, retro stools and scrapwood wallpaper, with a salad and some coffee on the side. (tentlondon.co.uk)
Wrong for Hay
As designer Sebastian Wrong launches his first capsule furniture collection for Danish brand Hay in a restored Georgian townhouse in St James’s, the crew behind the Peckham Refreshment Rooms join in, serving up stylishly small dishes and a proper bar. (peckhamrefreshment.com)

The Food Market at Southbank
Themed this week to focus on how design, display, packaging and presentation influences what we eat. Great for food on the move. (southbankcentre.co.uk)
