Metropolis Vauxhall - Review 

We headed down to Vauxhall Arches this week to check out the newly opened Metropolis which has taken over two railway arches close to the station with ten different vendors to sate your appetite.

The refit is slick with bright neon signs and an industrial club vibe, with plenty of areas to take over and a great space with picnic tables outside. They are ramping up activities with music performances, poker nights and brunch all launching soon.

There are plenty of different food options to suit your tastes or appetite and all the vendors were new to us, giving us many reasons to go back!

We tried Birria Tacos opting for the Loaded Lamb Birria Nachos and Beef Tacos with the Birria Consomme - the portions were super generous, with a special mention to the very tasty guacamole and the slow-cooked lamb.

Next up Sekushi: we tried the avocado maki and the salmon sashimi which came with edamame, ginger and wasabi to mix with the soy sauce. These guys really know their sashimi, the salmon was uber fresh and a great size portion for us to share.

We had to try the Gelato Lab which we were excited to see was an Ice Cream Union pop up. Being longtime fans of this brand we tried very generous scoops of the banoffee pie, pistachio, raspberry and dulche de leche which luckily didn't melt too quickly in the heat.

This is a great place to pick up a lunchtime treat or with a group of friends, where you can all tuck into different cuisines.
