9 bakery places in London we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in London | Bakery across every city.
London's modern bakery scene runs on long-fermented sourdough and a generation of railway-arch and high-street ovens that turned baking into destination eating. Hackney is the dense centre of it, with E5 Bakehouse, Pophams Bakery, The Dusty Knuckle and The Bread Station all working within a few postcodes. Older institutions hold their own too: Maison Bertaux in Soho has sold French patisserie since 1871, while Bread Ahead at Borough draws queues for its doughnuts.
