You don’t have to go to Wimbledon – try Lisson Green estate's Strawberry Fair

BRACE yourselves for a bumper batch of Marylebone jam! 

Strawberry plants were handed out to hundreds of residents at a summer fair on the Lisson Green estate at the weekend to encourage people to grow their own fruit and vegetables. 

With Wimbledon in full swing, the timing couldn’t have been better. For those not into jam jars, there was plenty of other entertainment on offer – a resident “bike doctor”, World Cup flag- and smoothie-making classes and a hotly-contested baking competition.
