 |  | …last week was full of ups and downs! Whilst football fever might officially be over, we’re still reeling from how good Childish Gambino and Skepta were at Lovebox over the weekend. But there’s still plenty to look forward to this week, with 50% off at XU’s new teahouse (from 12-3pm, 18th-29th July), the Reebok Classic House Party on Friday, and the beginning of Endo Kazutoshi’s residency at The Berkeley (just 8 covers per sitting, get booking!). Newsletter-wise, this week we’re bringing things back to zone 1, celebrating katsu sandos (summer’s snack-du-jour), and dreaming of Mykonos. Get reading!

 | | | Gazelle | | | The New Hangouts | | | The next Neds, Berners and Chilterns | | | There’s been a lot of talk of Tottenham and Hackney this year. But what about when we want to keep it central? This week’s trend brings it back to base camp, with the new hangouts for celebrating, impressing or when it’s just time to let loose in zone 1.

| | | Bright | | | Sando Watch | | | The katsu special arrives | | | There’s a surprise bid for London’s break-out snack this summer, and it’s pleasingly left field: the katsu sando has been popping up across our favourite menus and yes, it is time you ordered one. Night Tales have gone OG, serving katsu sandos from their in-house Japanese grill, Fat Baby. Bright’s have a Brit twist – think pork sandos teamed with shredded raw cabbage and a dollop of hot English mustard. Fittingly, Neptune’s come stuffed with crispy sardines in super fluffy white bread. You’ll find them in the snack section of the menu – eyes on the deep-fried prize!

 |  | | Luke Scanlon | | | As the co-founder of the newly opened St John at Hackney Brewery, it’s fair to assume that Luke Scanlon has a few tips on what and where to drink this summer.
| | Can you recommend us somewhere we probably haven't been?
Del74 on Clapton Road. Great Mexican food, good value, good vibes.
Where do you go for an al fresco drink?
The rooftop bar at The Curtain is great.
What’s your all-time favourite London restaurant?
Smokestak for the beef brisket.
