Version 4 Version 3

A grocery store in [[Locale Finsbury|Finsbury]] that wants to cut down on the amount of packaging we use. It's in a former dairy shop called Lloyd & Son, and the original signage and tiling has been preserved.
 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.

The shop is small, mostly confined to a single room, but with a few other items in a small room to the side. It largely sells delicatessen type items. The centre of the shop is devoted to bulk foods, for which customers are requested to bring their own bags and weigh them (you can buy bags for re-use if you need to, though). There's a small selection of decent organic wines available as well.
