The ritual of a morning trip to the bakery is something that would not feel out of place in London hundreds of years ago. It was through these practical visits for daily and weekly supplies that communities such as Notting Hill developed into the social hubs that continue today. Connections are made, relationships are fostered and with the addition of café-style seating, there is always the chance to pause, reflect and plan for the day as a whole, often with a friendly catch-up thrown in for good measure.
