Fareshares is a food co-operative which sells wholefoods and vegan products at 10% above cost price (to cover rent, rates etc). It is 100% vegan and sugar free, and mostly organic. They will also order in food for you from their wholesalers.

They sell a lot of food unpackaged so bringing your own bags is highly recommended. All the staff are volunteers and will help you but won't 'serve' you. You weigh out the food yourself and write down the cost. You then add it up yourself using the provided calculators and then pay the volunteer.

You don't have to join anything to shop here, it's open to the public.

They sell lots of grains and pulses, and a variety of organic fruit and veg. They also have vegan toothpaste, washing liquid and things like moon cups. The fridge contains tofu, vegan margarine and miso.

secretlondon thinks this place is awesome, and makes time to come here on Thursdays after work. Next door is the 56a Infoshop, SE17 3AE which sells Zapatista coffee, chocolate and has a free book exchange.
