Harringay Local Store

Founded and formerly owned by El Hornet of drum-and-bass titans Pendulum, this expertly stocked grocery shop is an oasis of posh cheeses, bougie snacks, fancy jars and tins, and high quality frozen meals. Head in for a browse and you might find frozen dumplings from east London’s My Neighbours the Dumplings, curry paste from Bib Gourmand-winning Higbury thai restaurant Farang, sourdough from Spence Bakery or artisanal sauerkraut from London Fermentary. It’s so zen, in comparison to Green Lanes’ delightfully chaotic energy, that you won’t want to leave – which is a good excuse to have a go (or three) on its vintage Donkey Kong arcade game.
