London bakeries & bread baking utensils


Hi!

 

I'm travelling to London for a week later this month and really want to visit a good bakery. Any recommendations?

 

I'm also looking for a good shop to pick up a few good baking utensils, again any recommendations would be a great help.

 

Many thanks in advance.

London Bakeries

My favorite breads in London come from:

-Poilane (French)

-Le Pain Quotidien (Belgian)

-De Gustibus

-Gail's

-Daylesford Organic

-Paul (French)

-Princi (Italian)

-Ottolenghi (all the other food at this restaurant is also amazing)

-Old Post Office Bakery

-& Clarke's

 

London is a fabulous place to eat good bread. Enjoy!

Ottolenghi

I'd second Ottolenghi - look out for the cakes and salads also!

Carl Shavitz in London

You might want to check out Carl Shavitz in London.  He teaches classes and would know about baking utensils.  He also supplies his bread to local restaurants.  I took a class from him in Italy a year ago.  He also teaches classes in the US.  His contact information is on his website:  Artisan-bread school.com.

Have a fabulous trip!
