"We once caught ourselves staring at a perfect cabbage at Gladwell’s and thinking, “now that is a good-looking vegetable”. This idyllic Camberwell spot is a greengrocer, deli, butcher, and bakery all rolled into one. It’s where we go to fantasise about our dream second home—preferably in Cotswold stone, with a big wooden kitchen table like the one here. Stop by in the morning for coffee, when the bouquets of flowers wrapped in brown paper have not yet been plucked from silver buckets. And when lunch rolls around, get the hearty soup or a well-stuffed chicken focaccia sandwich if you're heading back to your real home." - sinead cranna
