Just really love this place. I've now been here a couple times and each time I purchased a little something as a gift for friends. To me, this place is worth the trip from Central London alone, but combined with a visit of the nearby Gleaner's Cafe, it's a destination. (Make sure to check the opening hours, though, before you make the track out here.) It's hard for me to explain exactly what this place is, so I copy-pasted how they describe themselves on their website: FRP is a social enterprise and charity with environmental and social aims. We engage with organisations and communities in London through a range of practical initiatives to reduce, re-use and recycle waste, and help people live sustainably. Based in Walthamstow in East London, we have been in operation since 1989. All our work and activities are supported by volunteers. read more
