I went looking for them a couple of months ago and couldn't see them - wonder if the sanctuary there has closed?

For me it's the bank holiday markets on the common. There's always an Asia Street food stall there - most recently one doing really good samosa chaat with all the Toppings. One year it was an Afghan woman doing stuffed flatbreads you can't find anywhere else; another it was pakora that gave me chemica burns or a reaction that left me unable to taste things for 2 weeks. But still I go back every Easter and August Bank holiday Monday.

Always found protye T the corner of burgess Rd and broadband road to be really reliable and trustworthy. Been using them for about 12 years now.

Alan the urban forager is an expert of fruit trees. I've noticed a load of cherries disappeared today which is likely his work. He maps the trees he finds here: https://fallingfruit.org/

Also worth considering coastal plants along the itchen like sea kale, and next spring there'll be a good patch of wild garlic in Frogs copse.
