The best local shop here is Lebanese and this cannot be helped.
There is a greengrocer within my block, who is English, but she is overpriced, which leaves the supermarkets and the nearest Waitrose is in Belgravia and I would have to walk past the local Lebanese shop, and (naff) Sainsbury's to get there and go right up the hill.
I could order online, but that is hardly practical.
