I like Gem on Upper St near Highbury - Kurdish I think, with lovely stuffed bread made on a hot plate at the front, and free baklava and icecream often.
I thought of something else this morning - shoe repairers i.e. Timpsons? Not sure where the nearest one is - I always take mine to one near work
As the gentrification debate:
When I said bakery, I meant bakery, rather than patisserie, i.e. with …
great!
I like Petek, but given how popular the veggie things are, I think they could do a few more of them - broad beans/ aubergine and yoghurt / spinach andyoghurt etc
For a million a year, they could buy themselves a car park nearby. Or do a deal with John Jones or something.
I love their supermarket! One of the only ones with no meat smells and a great range
I agree - a Sainbury's local isn't a good idea. When the supermarkets are shut, we have other shops that can provide pretty much everything except good bread and cheese
Bookshop would be great
A big vintage shop e.g. Beyond Retro (Brick Lane, S…
Can anyone edit the above post and take the offending spoiler out? It got me too (on last ep of series 3 ) and wouldn't want it to get anyone else..

You all love Londis?
It has a great selection, obviously, but I can't believe how expensive it is, even for fairly standard items, when compared with anywhere on SGR - and I can't believe it's because they have higher costs?
Apparently Jack's off licence on SGR opposite Jai Krishna isn't doing too well - so anyone that has given up booze for January should giveup now and go and support them
I completely agree with Andy. Also, please no more corner shops that sell a million types of tins and packets - they are useful but we don't need any more.
Stroud Green is missing a bakery/somewhere that also sells good bread - especially when Te…
Oh my goodness that website and menu are shocking
Those prices, with a menu that sounds worse than a takeaway leaflet
Creamy spinach *laced* with cheese and covered with our rich ratatouille sauce.
blurgh
I note that their offers don't cover ban…
Can someone recommend a good site to test this? I tried a few sites which all said something entirely different - from 0.4 to 2 - but low, given that we're on L. If I'm going to call them and complain then it'd be good to have a site I can quote!
That's awful - I have warned my cycling boyfriend
The only problem we've had is someone throwing a half eaten parsnip at us pretty hard, probably from a car on Upper Tollington Park the other night. We were utterly bemused, so stopped and looked …
Despite loving buying as many things as possible from Pak Supermarket, Woodys and the other veg shops, it'd be great to be able to buy the things that you can only get in Tesco somewhere else i.e.
non processed brown bread (rather than having to go…
Hello!
I'm new. I live on Lancaster Road, as of about a month ago, but have lived on Oakfield Road for the last 5 years. I found the site while looking for news about the fuel giveaway (which my boyfriend had cycled past and thought was some fath…
