"Panzer’s has been in St. John’s Wood since 1956. Opened by two refugees from Austria and former Czechoslovakia (Mr. Panzer and Mr. Vogl respectively), it quickly became a favourite for Jewish deli goods and, since then, has established itself as a legendary delicatessen. It’s also a personal favourite of ours for picnic essentials because of its proximity to Regent’s Park (an eight-minute walk). The smoked salmon is a go-to (the only question is whether you go dry or oily) as are the bagels, but there’s also an excellent sushi counter, and all the other bits you could need for a respectable spread." - Rianne Shlebak, Jake Oliver, Heidi Lauth Beasley, Sinead Cranna
