Velopresso is delighted to be part of David Byrne’s 22nd Meltdown at the South Bank Centre, partnering bicycle café pioneers look mum no hands! and Infinite Crema barista Jamie Strachan, bringing pedal-powered coffee to the riverside for the summer (serving Tuesday – Sunday through till end of September).

We think Velopresso is a perfect expression of the humanist cultural ideals that underpin the festival, and being invited is a tip of the cap towards curator David Byrne’s love of cycling, urbanism and innovation.* As long-term Talking Heads and David Byrne fans, it’s cool to be associated with this maestro. Just hope we get to make him a coffee! Photo courtesy of and © Victor Frankowski.
