The last month of 2016 is upon us. In case you wanted good vibes and brilliant homemade African food to befit a night out in London this month – then this read is for you. There has been a lot of ‘African Food in London’ supper club activity this year – both in this city and on this blog.

London is blessed with many Gambian, Cameroonian and Sierra Leoneon Food pop-ups also. But this month it’s “Food Glorious Food” continued. Here are the Best Seven:
