West is Best

After a heavy night, it seems only appropriate that the first port of call is Jusu Brothers, a fresh juice bar. It's then on to discover what West London tacos look like at Taqueria as Shakka fills his belly with several of the top menu items.

This episode is all about the Caribbean roots of Notting Hill. It begins at the vegetarian mecca of London, the Grain Shop. Shakka and Progression make their way to ‘People’s Sound’ record shop. They head to Bay66, a legendary indoor skatepark.

Shakka begins his journey into the diversity of West London with a trip to Vicky’s, discovering some of the dishes that have become a staple in the area, born from the cultural diaspora. Then onto The Goldfinger Factory, a place working with on a concept called upcycling, turning waste into ‘gold’. Shakka then segways into the alcohol fueled side of his journey, meeting up with Sam, a musician. They visit a gin bar and distillery, learning the process and tasting the wares. To finish, a West London gem, the Sporting Clube. A wild Portuguese establishment with all the trimmings to end the night with large plates of food and of course, dancing.
