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

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
