On the headphones: Wolf Alice - Giant Peach

Surprisingly, it's not raining too much today so I've been taking a stroll around Brick Lane, popping into a few vintage shops for a look around and trying to resist the delicious cupcakes for sale in Spitalfields market.

The soundtrack to today has definitely been Wolf Alice, with their grungy, 90s-esque rock. Their songs range from beautifully soft, pop melodies to heavy, angst fuelled screaming, perfectly summarising the diversity of London itself. The four piece will be releasing their debut album 'My Love Is Cool' on June 22nd.

Chinese New Year, Soho

One of the largest Chinese New Year celebrations outside of Asia, the festivities in London's west end run over four days, spreading across Chinatown and Shaftesbury Avenue, with a main stage in Trafalgar Square.

Even in the pouring rain on Sunday the streets were blocked with crowds, watching dancing lions (not dragons!), moving from restaurant to restaurant in the heart of Soho. The weekend ended with fireworks in Trafalgar Square, after martial arts performances and dance routines.

Pancake Day: Creperie Du Monde, Clapton

Pancakes have to be my all time favourite breakfast food (although if I'm honest, I could eat them for every meal). That's why I was so excited to find a such a great pancake place, Creperie Du Monde, over on Chatsworth Road. Only a short walk from Homerton Overground, it's reasonably priced and serves up a good selection of options, including vegan and wholemeal pancakes, plus a mixture of fruit juices (mine here is ginger and orange).

Upstairs can get a little busy, but downstairs is cosy and would make a lovely date spot, with its candlelit tables and shabby-chic design. Only downside, you might want to avoid the over shabby toilets..

Find it at: 56 Chatsworth Road, E5 0LH

On the headphones: Fyfe - Solace

An enigmatic soul, Paul Dixon (aka Fyfe)'s musical background stemmed from the classical world, before shifting towards guitars and electronica, recording under the alias of David's Lyre. A deal with Mercury Records materialised and then turned sour. The young artist then returned under the guise of Fyfe, with 'Solace' receiving high praise from Noisey to the Guardian.

Each track mixes hypnotic beats with elements of jazz, introspective lyrics and lo-fi sounds.
