The cheese selection unsurprisingly steals all the thunder. Other than a trip to France, I doubt that you will be able to find such choice and quality. To complete the list and tick all the boxes, The Cheese Block boasts fantastic meringues, baklava, fresh bread and an epicurean selection of condiments and confectionery.

However, today there was an extremely grumpy man behind the counter who when I asked him to recommend a good strong cheddar, simply said: "There are loads of Cheddars at the end, take your pick". Well, the reason I asked was to get an expert recommendation, not to simply pick one out of several by chance. There was no one else in the shop, so it wasn't as if they were over run with other customers. I will probably try this place again, but it has been a little soured for me!

This is an amazing cheesemonger and there isn't a bad cheese in the place. They're attentive, knowledgeable and friendly.

I duck in and grab something--anything--and love it every time. You can get unpasteurised cheeses here, which Americans don't get very much. You can also find brilliant artisanal cheeses where you can learn all about who supplied the milk, who made the cheese, where it comes from, etc. You can practically learn the goats' names.
