MUST DO: Strawberries & Screen returns to Granary Square

SPORT: Strawberries and Screen is back

This annual event has quickly become an institution in Granary Square. Once again you can watch all the live tennis action from Wimbledon – well, it beats trekking down to SW19 in the heat anyway. The screen will, say the organisers, “be one of the biggest and best-quality in central London”, making it the wisest place to soak up the action with Pimms, strawberries and other boozy refreshments on hand too. Deckchairs are first come first served, free to attend. Mon 27th June – Sun 10th July, Granary Square

FOOD: Kerb Weekend streetfood market

Now that the weather has picked up the streetfood collective is back at King’s Cross and planning a season of delectable one-offs. On the last Friday and Saturday of the month, from May to September, they’ll be staging a weekend takeover: each month brings a different foodie sensation, with stalls popping up in different parks and open spaces across the area, including Granary Square, Lewis Cubitt Square and West Handyside Canopy. Every last weekend until Sept. Fri 24th & Sat 25th June (and all summer)

FESTIVAL: Mumsnet Bookfest

This one-day familyfest of literature, language and ideas is at the canalside King’s Place, a full day of talks, poetry slams and the Big Mumsnet Book Swap.
