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

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
