It’s been open for a while but it’s only just been brought to my attention! Some people like to hang out by the river when we get our very rare and very coveted rays of sunshine, if you’re one of these people (I am) then you might want to check out the Southbank one of these days where exotic Bombay Cafe Dishoom have brought us the very beautiful Chowpatty Beach. It’s set to stay open for the whole summer up until 4 Oct… when we’ll probably be experiencing flash floods and thunder storms so I say visit there as soon as you can, while you still can! More info after the break.

Waterloo sunset. Pink sky, warm summer evening. Big Ben and the London Eye to the west, St Paul’s to the east. Strolling along to Southbank Centre, you see sand, bunting and hundreds of Londoners young and old, enjoying the Festival of Britain 60th anniversary celebrations.
But then you hear the enchanting sound of Hindi music.You notice the spicy aroma of fresh Pau Bhaji. Chilled Thums Up bottles clink. Children chase balloons across the sand.You see a colourful old fishing boat, full of green coconuts, ready to be cut open and sipped from. Naughty Gola Ices look cool and tempting. Where did the old grey portakabin go? And who put this crazy Indian beach shack up on the South Bank?

About Yang
There are so many young people in London without the right guidance in life and don’t know where to turn. My dream is to set up my own company lending support, guidance and advice to young people so I can share everything I have learnt and will learn in the future with people who need it. Anyone sharing a similar vision get at me, we need to talk. Follow me on twitter
