LocaL Supermarket

You're wandering down Kingsland High Street in Dalston and you need to actually eat something real—not meal-deal nonsense. LocaL Supermarket is exactly what it sounds like: a proper grocer that takes the job seriously. It's the kind of place where you'll find the vegetables don't look like they've been under fluorescent lights for three weeks, the shelves are thoughtfully curated, and staff actually know what they're talking about. The neighbourhood's got plenty of decent restaurants and bars, but this is where locals come to cook at home, which honestly tells you everything.
