Exploring Victoria Park Market 

A food market in East London's Victoria Park, you can get your fill every Sunday between 10am – 4pm. Head here for a fantastic selection of fresh fruits, locally baked bread, cheese and so much more - including a diverse range of delicious street food. 

This is a great way to show each other what food you like and don't like, pick some things up for the fridge and maybe even plan a group dinner. 

Cooking together 

Speaking of a group dinner, cooking with your flatmates is a super easy way to make time to bond and create memories. Plus, it's a great opportunity to explore each others' cultures, learn new recipes and try something new.
