Rosslyn Delicatessen
Helen Sherman’s enchanting store has been voted the best local delicatessen in London several times, and rightly so. There is a fantastic meat counter, with the most aromatic pancetta you’ll ever try; the jarred chutneys, terrines and marinated vegetables are a wonder; and you’ll find unusual flavours such as damson jam and mulberry salad dressing. The cakes, chocolates and Union Roasters coffee are delicious, too.

Konditor & Cook
This elegant cake shop and bakery produces wonderful cakes – lavender and orange, and lemon and almond – massive raspberry meringues, cookies (including gingerbread men!), and loaves of warm bread with olives, nuts and spices. There are four other K&C shops, including a Borough Market branch and a Holborn branch.

Minamoto Kitchoan
Walking into this Japanese sweet shop is a mind-blowing experience. Wagashi – Japanese sweets – are made out of all sorts of beans and rice and shaped into glazed red cherries, green-bean bunches or spiky kidney bean rolls. Order a couple, sit down and enjoy with a complimentary green tea, or buy a box for a sure-hit souvenir.

Neal’s Yard Dairy
A fabulous, smelly cheese house that would fit in rural England, this place is proof that the British can do just as well as the French when it comes to big rolls of ripe cheese. There are more than 70 varieties that the shopkeepers will let you taste, including independent farmhouse brands. Condiments, pickles, jams and chutneys are also available.

Rippon Cheese Stores
This is the type of shop we all wish we had in the neighbourhood, a cheesemonger with some 500 varieties of (mostly) English and French cheese on offer and all ripened on site. Staff are knowledgeable and helpful and will allow you to taste before you buy.

Spice Shop
Can’t find that Turkish sumac, Sichuan peppercorn or African ajowan that recipe you’re following so desperately calls for? The Spice Shop just off Portobello Rd will have it – along with hundreds more herbs, spices and essential oils.
