Shanel’s Sandwich Bar

You'll find yourself wedged between the Thames and Borough Market's younger sibling—a proper working-class lunch spot that's somehow avoided gentrification. The counter's tight, the menu's chalked up, and everyone around you is ordering like they've been coming here for years. It's the kind of place where the person making your sandwich knows what they're doing, stuffing proper proteins and crisp veg into fresh bread without any faffing about. No Instagram moment, no craft sourdough theatre—just good food made quickly at prices that don't require a City bonus.
