Somewhere you should eat… Jubo

For all its infamy, US-style fried chicken isn’t the only variety that’s finger-lickin’ good. Korean fried chicken has long made a name for itself in the home of its birth and beyond, with Shoreditch’s Jubo being the latest outlet in town to give it the spotlight it deserves. Housed inside the Bedroom Bar, this laid-back, street style venue has made the double-fried crunchy snack their speciality – and they do quite a fine job at it. You can choose between the classic ‘Yangnyeom Tongdak’, wings or strips, served with soy garlic or sweet and sour sauce – or get that chicken in a roll with kimchi slaw and a side of chips. We’re also loving that it’ll cost no more than a tenner too.

Alternatively, there’s steak brisket, pork belly, steam buns or vegetarian dishes on offer if you fancy something different – but from what we’ve tried, Jubo’s original KFC is where it’s really at. Hit ’em up on the weekend – they’re a good pick before the late night shenanigans.

Jubo is at 68 Rivington St, London EC2A 3AY. Open from Tuesday – Thursday, 6pm to midnight and Friday and Saturday, 6pm to late. For more info, visit: jubolondon.com

Stumbling across this space – out of the crazy fug of Dalston High Street – is like being welcomed into secret community of green-fingered peace-loving Londoners… and that’s not even too much of an exaggeration. It’s got the authentic feel of a space designed for and used by people who love it and live nearby. Built as part of an art project, the garden has been kept alive by the community that uses it; there’s a covered seating area, a (surprisingly clean) toilet, home-made scarecrows, a herb garden, and it’s even got a working pizza/bread oven! It’s open every day 11am-6pm (weather permitting), and sits right opposite Dalston Junction overground station so if you’re kicking around the area and the sun’s out, there’s absolutely no excuse for not going in to have a look and/or having a fabulous picnic. Just see if you can keep it a secret! (Words: Zoe Dawes)
