The current issue of Time Out sings of the joys of outdoor eating in London's green spaces, including our own Vicky Park. Plus the best outdoor dining spots in London, including the Pavilion Cafe in the same park which does the best breakfasts around (with a price that reflects the organic tag). Think steaming cups of tea -fresh herb, loose leaf or builders, bitter hot coffee, spanking fresh organic eggs, portobello mushrooms, home-made baked beans and doorstep toast. See London Review of Breakfasts if you need more confirmation.

This week's mighty TO also a has a picnic essentials shopping list including: pickles, artisan bread, ham, stinky cheese and quiche. I would have added in lashings of fizzy pop, salt n vinegar crisps, homemade scotch eggs and plenty of cake!

The London Paper also lists it's favourite al fresco eating spots this week - though none in East London.

Please feel free to comment on the best picnic spots in Hackney, or indeed London wide...
