5 Exciting Things To Eat & Do In July

We know we said this last month but summer is officially here. The days are longer, the moths are alive and well (and apparently obsessed with you), and that fan you bought last year is missing.

Check out our guide to The Best Restaurants In Margate so you don’t end up running around like a headless seagull.

You probably exhausted the park picnic in the first 48 hours of sunshine this year. So instead of heading to the same patch of grass, get a takeaway from Crisp Pizza W6, our favourite pizza spot in Hammersmith, and walk to the river for a wholesome time by the water. A slice of gravity-defying margherita here, a messy handful of calzone there, and you’ve got an afternoon well spent.
