Vera's

Part bakery, part sandwich shop, part grocer and — unusually — part off-licence, this St John's Wood spot lets you tick off breakfast, lunch and the weekly essentials in a single stop. The formula clearly works: a remarkable 4.9 rating from 108 reviews, with dine-in, takeaway and delivery all on the cards. Best not to leave it late, though, as the doors shut by mid-afternoon.
