B Street Deli

You're walking down Bermondsey Street—that stretch that's somehow managed to stay genuinely neighbourhood-y despite all the gentrification around it—and B Street Deli just slots in naturally. It's the kind of place that does one thing well: excellent sandwiches built on proper bread, with carefully sourced cured meats and cheeses that actually taste like something. The coffee's serious too, not an afterthought. It's compact, unpretentious, and feels like a proper local spot rather than something designed for Instagram. Go before work, grab lunch, or just pop in for an excellent espresso.
