Pop Brixton

A new pop-up outdoor opened over the weekend, built from metal shipping containers for that typical East-London boxpark look. But wait. It's not East London at all, in fact, Pop Brixton is in that deep, dark area that exists south of the river..

If you've ventured down there before, you'll have already sampled many of the treats that are available from Brixton Market, some of which feature at Pop too. The containers are still filling up, but for now, there's bars aplenty, plus a mix of food stalls from the classic market ramen to meat grills and Mexican. It's quite short on seating, but there's room to stand around. Best to get down early though, many of the stalls were running out of stock by 10pm..

Top tip: the lychee vodka shots are definitely worth a try!

Find it at: 53 Brixton Station Road, SW9 8PQ

The Horniman Museum, Forest Hill

It was such a beautiful weekend that there was nothing to so but go outside and enjoy the sunshine.

We decided to visit The Horniman Museum, founded in 1901, which has a collection of taxidermy, including some pretty scary looking exotic creatures, plus other cultural exhibitions.

There's an amazing view from the lovely gardens outside, being at the top of Forest Hill means you can see all the way from the London Eye to The Shard, all whilst enjoying music from the nearby bandstand.

The highlight for me though, was visiting the farm section, where the museum houses living animals, alpacas, rabbits, goats and chickens. You can't pet all the cuddlies as they're not so friendly, but it's fun to watch them bounding about. Even the alpacas seemed to be in a good mood..
