There is also a good old fashioned bakery on Half Moon Lane in Herne Hill that sell lovely granary bread in different sizes including rolls. They will slice it for you. I buy a big loaf and freeze some for toast. Jack's in Pellat Road get their bread from there.
bought a cupcake as a treat from them which cost nearly 2 quid and didnt think much of it (i think i should have tried the brownies going on previous posts!) - wont be doing that again. i could bake better tasting cupcakes with non-organic ingrediants and will do so next time.....

I would have to agree with those who say the Blackbird is the place to go. Their walnut and onion bread is great.


While we are recommending I would also recommend Maniat stall in the indoor East Dulwich Market. Perfect dipping oil for the Blackbird Bakery bread. Their honey is amazing too.

"in a year from now LL will have more boarded up shops than a town in South Yorkshire."


Just to pick up on that point - I really hope LL doesn't end up with boarded up shops like it was in the early 90's. I much prefer it the way it is now, with nice shops selling nice things. Yes some of the things are expensive nay, even overpriced but which would we rather hsve? Tumbleweed?

Which appears to be rich babies...

I have bought the white-ish big-ish loaf from the new bakers, with loads of seeds in it, linseed, alfalfa, sesame, sunflower, etc. it was ?2.80, but solid, packed with good stuff, and so DELICIOUS that I now do not buy it, cos once I have bought it a can't stop myself eating the whole loaf over a weekend!!

you can find some of the best bread in London at Whole foods market in Kensington, they have a huge range of breads available and they bake the bread in front of you. The price of most breads is fairly competeive and i find it worth the trip. They also have a sperlonga loaf which is pretty close to the Turkish bread in Australia, just without the seeds.

for those who enjoy quality bread, you must go!

Not impressed by the Luca bread, a bit ...well doughy & slightly undercooked? E D Deli ( wether you like the guy or not ) bakes the best bread (in a wood fired oven just off the old kent rd)the baker is a french guy who used to bake at St John's in Clerkenwell .Also If you get over Battersea way the bread stall in North cote Rd is worth the trip, they sell a bread called "Campilou" in a rough tri-angle shape, now that is king for me, toasted with a spread of real butter and pate.........mmmmmm


I find that a tad hard to believe - sorry you had a bad experience and all but I cannot imagine 2 pastries and 2 coffees being ?15 - I have been to Lucas many a time - I know they are not cheap but I would be hard pressed come up with that figure

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
