Flour to the People!

You're walking down Battersea Park Road and the smell hits you before you see the place—proper bread smell, the kind that makes you abandon whatever plans you had. Flour to the People does exactly what it says: exceptional sourdough, croissants that shatter when you bite them, and the kind of pastries that justify a trip south of the river. It's unpretentious and properly busy, which tells you everything you need to know. The locals round here clearly know what's good.
