The Turkish (I think) place at the Goose Green end of Lordship Lane has fruit and veg outside.


I've always found the veg good quality.


Their name now is Organic Village Market and they have a thread on here saying they are just expanding the shop to include an organic butchers and a larger deli.

SMBS on Lordship Lane is very good.


The Grocer in Nunhead is excellent, cheap and lovely staff (I think it;s called Beaumont)


General Store on Bellenden Rd has incredible produce, but it's not exactly cheap, but check before you buy as sometimes t=the veg isn't as fresh as you'd like!


Franklins have good quality stuff, but again not always the cheaper end!

The OP did say "reasonably priced"!!


Both SMBS nor Franklins are quite expensive, though Franklins seems to have unusual fruit and veg you can't get elsewhere locally, so that's fair enough.



I'm sure the quality is high but you can still get good quality and pay less elsewhere.


M&S also has a fresh fruit and veg section. I haven't bought anything from it so I don't know what prices are like, but I have been pleasantly surprised at the prices in the rest of the store so that might be worth a look too?


ETA: Sorry, just realised you were after independent grocers/greengrocers, so forget M&S then! I

SMBS is very reasonably priced for fresh fruit and veg I think, but we can't make assumptions about what is reasonable for the OP.


Agreed that Franklins is a bit more expensive as I highlighted in my original post, but the OP also requested decent quality so it was worth mentioning.

May be a bit far away for you but the Turkish market next to the Rose on FHR has a decent selection of veg, not fancy but decent quality and reasonably priced. They often keep fresh herbs out the back of the shop by the meat counter (you have to ask for them) which are always in really good condition and you get a good sized bunch for your money.

Thanks for all the suggestions - much appreciated!


The grocers on Nunhead Lane and the Turkish deli on Lordship Lane are good shouts. I'll give them both a try


I really like SMBS and do go in there from time to time to pick up the odd thing that I cant get elsewhere, but personally I find it too expensive for day-to-day fruit and veg shopping.


Sometimes I've been able to pick up decent stuff on Rye Lane, but its just a bit unreliable. Khans opposite the station isnt bad but the selection can be limited.

      Do you feel unsafe in London?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      Central London, partularly Soho and Fitzrovia, seems to be more about sneaky crimes like hugger-muggering and pickpocketing rather than anything violent these days. I'd never wear a decent watch if I went into town in the evening. There are a couple of places, like Tottenham, Hackney'and Harlesden, I'm particularly on my guard in - mainly because I don't really know them too well. Bits of New Cross and Deptford can be a bit hairy, as well. The parts of central London which were dodgiest twenty or thirty years ago, King's Cross or Shoreditch for example, have changed beyond recognition.  Statistically, London is safer than it was thirty years ago. Wobbling around the Elephant after a heavy night in the Ministry of Sound wasn't a great move around 2000; it wouldn't seem as idiotic these days. It's still not pleasant though and you have to keep your wits about you in Camberwell after midnight, even now. Overall, most of London is far safer, statistically, than the smaller provincial cities and larger towns. Middlesbrough is genuinely scary after dark, which is strange because the people are lovely during the day. Likewise Bradford and Hull. Apart from the lovely people caveat, clearly. Other than the 'Unite the Kingdom' march last week, I've never really seen the drunken flag waving you mention. Not in London, anyway.  I'd avoid the Medway towns, if I was you.

      Children's funfair on Goose green.

      By Cyclemonkey · Posted

      I don't really see the issue.  It's taking  up a small part of Goose Green.  I was able to happily eat my lunch there today witthout the fair impinging on my space or enjoyment. I presume they have chosen that location as it is near the playground, so parents with young children often go there at the weekend.

      Here you go again trying to twist things saying I made personal saying I don't feel safe, but it's you firing and demanding answers, you're not the police and nor are you a moderator. No its not a reasonable question, nor is saying I should go live somewhere else.  You have a habit on here of "demanding" answers, not on.
