Brixton Wholefoods

Eat yourself thin

15 May 07, 19:09 As expected

This is a cute and cosy health food store tucked under the arches of Brixton railway bridge. Expect the occasional shaking of shelves as trains rumble overhead while you shop. As well as the usual health food paraphernalia, this store also has a whole wall dedicated to herbs and teas, displayed in the type of jars you used to get sweets in as a kid. Ask for the amount you want and it's measured out for you - not as tasty as midget gems perhaps, but much better for you. There is a notoriously grumpy sales assistant, but great shop nonetheless.
