Bakeries in London
London's bakery scene has transformed over the past decade from a backdrop of chain cafés into one of the most ambitious bread cultures in the world. Long-ferment sourdough from bakeries like E5 Bakehouse and The Dusty Knuckle now sits alongside world-class doughnuts at Bread Ahead and laminated viennoiserie at Pophams.
