Review of Battersea Power Station Develo...

The Power of Summer

The Power of Summer

The setting was glorious, a grassy area beside the looming towers of the power station. There was grown up Jenga, trampolines and plenty of space for lounging about in the late afternoon sun. As with all Street Feast venues the choice of food was vast - Peruvian street food, smoked ribs, pizza and Caribbean were all on offer. I went for a change to my usual and had an incredible Dog from Dog Town (@DogTownLondon) - the special, with spicy onions and a mango, pineapple chilli salsa. The sausage was smoked to perfection and had that perfect snap when you took a bite. My flatmate went for an old favourite of mine - Le Bun (@LeBunUK), those guys know how much I love them! She did make somewhat of an alternative choice and go for the veggie option (she would be the first to tell you of the look of dismay in my eyes when this decision was made!) but it was fantastic a chunky slab of goats cheese between lashings of slaw and sauce in between the perfectly toasted brioche bun. I also bought some delicious spiced chips from Flip & Dip because who can resist fresh chips!! We sat in the shadows of the chimneys for what seems like hours, watching the world go by. The perfect night some would say.

I have omitted to tell you there is also a cinema down by the river. Everyman are showing classics down there all summer there are usually two films on a day! Make sure you check out the website for all their listings, I ve already got a few booked!! The Power of Summer is a one time thing sadly and only open until the end of August so make sure you get down there before the fun is over. It ll be the last time you can get near that brilliant power station before it s redeveloped, which is naturally why I m going to get down there as frequently as possible!!
