The Essential Guide to London’s Best Food shops

A few years back a friend gave me a copy of this book for my birthday. I love to pull it out every now and then and have a flick back through it. In a way it makes me home sick of London, in another way it makes me realize how much I didn’t do in London and how much more I can do in London on one of my up-coming trips.  

I highly recommend whenever “foodie’s” go off traveling for a month in Italy or a two day weekend break in some vibrant city, not to pick up a Lonely Planet guide or other travel book however pick up a book like this or one similar. Whether it be about wine, restaurants, olive oil or cupcakes,  use this and let your taste buds be your guide – you will be amazed what you will find, as I was with “The essential guide to London’s best food shops” I was amazed with what I found (London isn’t just about Harrods food hall and Tesco).  

Most of my free time in London was spent in Soho, pretty much every second day for my first 18 months I was on Brewer Street. I had no idea that “Lina Stores”, an Italian delicatessen was hiding there all that time without me paying any attention until I was given this book. Believe me I enjoyed Brewer Street a lot more in my last 6 months in London following the “Lina Stores” discovery. 

What I love most about this guide is that it provides you with a compressive area by area guide, so its not just focusing on the trend area’s of Mayfair and Notting Hill, it is actually giving the “foodie” a complete guide to buying food a cross London including deli’s, bakery’s, cooks book shops right through to well renowned markets and internationally recognized food halls from Harrods to Selfridges and everything in between.  

“The essential guide to London’s best food shops” is published by New Holland Publishes (UK) Ltd and I highly recommend it for everyone.
