Toasters ‘Everywhere’ Teaser Trailer from Toasters on Vimeo. Ever noticed pop art style toasters on walls, lamp-posts and billboards? They are the work of the Toasters. Originally from Wolverhampton, the Toasters have emblazoned their work in cities all around the world. They released a docu-film of their work last year called ‘Everywhere’....

Last night I experienced the best dumplings I’ve ever had in London. A trip to China Town has never been very successful for me. The food is over-priced and greasy and they rush you out in an hour to get more tourists in. So I still to east London for my Asian food-cravings.

If you’re a bit of a culture vulture and fancy some free music, art and short film this weekend, then make a trip down to Hackney Wick for their annual Hackney WickED festival.
