Mr Gingham

You know that feeling when you walk into a sandwich shop and immediately think, 'these people get it'? That's Mr Gingham. Tucked away on West End Lane in West Hampstead, it's the kind of place that makes you realise how many mediocre sarnies you've been eating. The counter's lined with proper ingredients — nothing pre-packed or tired — and the staff actually listen when you say you want your mustard on the side. It's casual, unfussy, and does exactly what it says on the tin: exceptional sandwiches made with actual care. The kind of spot that gets local regulars nipping in between errands, and honestly, once you've been, you'll be doing the same.
