Perfect Saturday
COFFEE COME-UPS THE BLACK LAB

SUMMER COCKTAILS TOWN HALL YARD
If the sun is shining, head to the Town Hall at Bethnal Green’s Patriot Square – home of the fantastic Typing Room – for deckchairs, BBQ (the pork belly and Cajun cod are to die for) and cocktails on-tap. No need to book – just head on down. Free; visit townhallhotel.com
WING IT BIRD
Delivering good on its name, Shoreditch’s Bird restaurant has been ruffling many feathers since opening in the East End. In particular its signature dish of Chicken and Waffles is definitely something to quack about. Visit birdrestaurants.com
PETROLHEADS FAST AND FURIOUS ALL NIGHTER
Prince Charles Cinema is doing good on its threat of a Fast and Furious Marathon. Strap in for the night as you watch all seven (yes, they’ve really made seven) instalments of the joyriding classics. Actual fast cars, beautiful women and Vin Diesel not included. Visit princecharlescinema.com
