Binge on the Fringe

_

We think August should be renamed Fringest! Obviously, there’s the Lord High King of Fringe kicking off up in Edinburgh, for which we’ve put together a must-have survival guide… But for those of us who maybe can’t make it north of the border for whatever reason (an aversion to deep fried goods, perhaps, or a daily craving for fruit and veg), there’s plenty of fringe to be had in London!

_

The Camden Fringe & The Hot August Fringe have plenty to keep us happy… check out a few of our choice picks below:
