EDū is a contemporary Spanish food concept, and the brainchild of Eduardo and Daniele, who met over 10 years ago in southern Spain.

Their aim is to bring a fresh approach to Spanish cooking and dining in the UK.

Whilst taking their inspiration from classic Spanish recipes and sourcing traditional seasonal Spanish ingredients, EDū’s ‘mixto’ concept is also influenced by international cuisines.

Eduardo and Head Chef Dani (who has worked at Bo London, Chiltern Firehouse and Galvin) signature dishes will include, the ‘cheeky dog’, Tempura Padron Peppers and the Spanglish burger.

A new food and drink market has opened its doors near London Bridge, and is just a short walk from rival Borough Market.

As it’s mostly covered, Flat Iron Square is suited to all weather conditions, and may be likened a little to Dinerama.

Ben Lovett’s live music venue OMEARA is housed here as well as a bar, The Bar from Flat Iron Square.

Flat Iron Square covers 40,000sq ft and encompasses six railway arches and surrounding open spaces, sited between Flat Iron Square, Union Street, O’Meara St and Southwark Street.

As it still remains a little undiscovered at the moment, Flat Iron Square is a good place to go if you’d like to steer clear of the crowds of Borough Market.

So when the redevelopment of Flat Iron Square – a desolate little space set in and around a set of railway arches off Southwark Bridge Road – was announced, more than a little scepticism would have been forgiven.

Baz and Fred serves Roman-style thin, crisp pizzas Secondly, it’s an imposing, sprawling space, comprising lofty arches, slivers of outdoor space, openings onto both Flat Iron Square itself and Southwark Bridge Road, and an expansive warren through the Grade II listed Devonshire House.

Bar Douro offers a contemporary spin on Portugese cuisine The Low Line area outside of the arches sees residencies from Cantina Carnitas serving superlative Mexican tacos and burritos (the naga ghost chilli mayo was irresistible even on our early-morning visit); the aforementioned South West Social Club (we tried a genius offering of chicken, celeriac puree and capers on sourdough toast, slathered with a riff on chimichurri); and Laffa, serving up Levantine market food (a pitta stuffed with chicken livers, potato and tahini was a highlight).

Heading through the bar and into the open-plan areas of Arch 32 and Devonshire House, the gourmand grab-bag continues with a series of permanent ‘stalls’: the first London outpost from Tatami Ramen, a Barcelona-based start-up from Hugo Lonsdale; Manti dumplings from Mike and Ollie (of Brockley Market and Queen's Camberwell fame, the former being arguably the best street food stall in the capital); a contemporary Spanish concept from EDū; Roman-style thin, crisp pizzas from Somerset's Baz and Fred (intriguingly cooked in bespoke, single pizza ovens, design by Fred's uncle, and comprising an individual pizza stone in a metal dome that sits on a gas hob); Berwick Street Market’s Savage Salads; authentic Chinese dumplings and Malay and Indonesian fare from Ekachai; and sourdough from the Burnt Lemon Bakery (who'll also be using a host of unfortified flours from older regional grains).

Photography: David Loftus Elsewhere, family leathermaking start-up Tinct has occupied an austere, antiquey little front room space in Devonshire House (a boutique showroom in the day and a space for craft workshops in the evening), and there’ll be a weekly flea market out back.
