L' Epicerie @ 56 London

Bread, pastries and quiches are baked overnight at this Chatsworth Road deli, with baker Christophe and his team getting everything ready for the 8.30am opening. The counters hold cheese from a French artisan maturer, charcuterie from France, Spain and Italy, and a traiteur spread of rillettes, terrines and antipasti, while coffee and wine by the glass can be enjoyed on the terrace. More than 18 years on, it remains a genuine neighbourhood fixture in Clapton.
