I first encountered this yummy bakery in its original inception - when it was located in Neals…read moreYard, a stone's throw from Covent Garden. I was regularly enticed by their deliciously wholesome bread, scones and flapjacks (not all at once though!). Today, they've moved to the South West of London and their business has evolved into supplying local shops and running stalls at (Farmers') markets. They also do home deliveries (although I haven't tested this aspect out). In spite of their evolution, the recipes seem to have remained true to their origins and their products are as healthily tasty, as ever. I especially like their cheese and herb scones and their range of breads. If you spot them at a market, don't hesitate to accept their little samples - you're likely to become a convert.

Fantastic fresh bread in Twickenham. Make sure you visit and try some!read more

The bread is nice - but the price is eye watering…read more The selection is also very limited - one or two different types of bread so not a traditional English bakers by any stretch of the imagination. Its more like an indoor version of a farmer market stall where there is choice between one or two types of bread. £3.20 for a bloomer is too much really.

I love this place. The food was amazing and the staff couldn't be more friendly. Will definitely be…read moreback

Sweetie Pies on Church Street is just the sweetest little boutique bakery and tea shop!…read more Decorated in pastels and patterns with enough seating for a small number of sit-in customers, it serves a selection of over 20 different black, green, herbal and flowering teas, as well as coffees, milkshakes and soft drinks. It also does a small selection of sandwiches and paninis, but the stars of the show are the gateaus, cupcakes and cookies, baked and iced daily in their own kitchen. They also cater for small parties and events and offer a tempting-sounding afternoon tea (to be ordered in advance).

Very expensive, for not very much.. The environment is lovely but the cakes are dry and a bit dullread more

I was on my 4th adventure to England and Greggs was on my "must try THIS TIME." List. Contrary to…read morepopular belief (per silly Instagram videos), this is a chain of restaurants specializing in breakfast/lunch/brunch fare. You can either do the click and collect method or order at the location. There is not a lot of seating, but it's a grab and go or quick eats place. I ordered a cappuccino, a vegan sausage roll (I'm a fan!), and my first ever mince pie - it was 0.67p (!!!). I was surprised a place like this had several vegetarian and vegan options. Also, after I picked up a box of mince pies from Sainsburys, I noted Greggs was, in fact, better. It's quick service and great for travelers and locals on-the-go so it naturally lacks the ambiance of a café or restaurant. Tasty food, recommend especially for the hungry traveler.

Cavan Bakery by Hampton Station is the third in a tiny little chain of bakeries, the other two (one…read moreof which houses the cake oven and the other the bread ovens) are on Hampton Hill High Street. All the baked goods are made at the nearby Hampton Hill premises and then brought to Hampton village. This is a popular little bakery, especially on Saturday mornings. You can buy bread, cookies, cakes and pastries, along with freshly made sandwiches. The Saturday staff is mostly teenaged girls. I can, however vouch for at least one of them, as she is my daughter. The service is friendly and reasonably efficient, and prices are about what you'd expect from a local independent bakery. Yes, you can buy sliced bread cheaper at the supermarket, but isn't a freshly baked, locally produced product more satisfying?
