| Unpackaged was a grocery store in [[Locale Hackney|Hackney]] that aimed to cut down on the amount of packaging used. It closed in January 2014; [http://beunpackaged.com/2013/12/unpackaged-statement-closing-down/ according to their blog] this is because their premises were too large for their needs, and they do intend to reopen again in some form. The information below is retained for historical purposes. <div class="old_info"> A grocery store in [[Locale Hackney|Hackney]] that aims to cut down on the amount of packaging used. Previously located in a former dairy shop in [[Locale Finsbury|Finsbury]] <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/55935853@N00/3444968025/ photo]</small>, it moved to Hackney in December 2012. We haven't yet visited the new location. The old shop was small, mostly confined to a single room, but with a few other items in a small room to the side. It largely sold delicatessen type items, though the centre of the shop was devoted to bulk foods, for which customers were requested to bring their own bags and weigh them (you can buy bags for re-use if you need to, though). There was a small selection of decent organic wines available as well. An anonymous visitor to this site in August 2009 also noted that they sold "the raw materials to make your own detergents and soaps and things to clean with".

Unpackaged is a grocery store that wants to cut down on the amount of packaging we use. I went looking for it by bike the other day to check it out. It's a bit of a hidden gem, because its sign says 'Loyd's Dairy.' Anyhow, it's a small place, but it has all this very cool stuff - things you'd cook/bake with, and then nice organic wines and then the raw materials to make your own detergents and soaps and things to clean with. It's not a vegan restaurant, but I think people who are vegan, or live that sort of lifestyle, will really like it in there. address='' category='Drink,Organic food,Vegan friendly,Vegetarian friendly' |
