In the heart of Hackney, Londis N16 is rewriting the rules of the British corner shop. Run by the Patel family since 1979, this isn't your average convenience store. By blending 60-year-old Anju Patel’s authentic Gujarati home cooking with a savvy Instagram presence and in-store DJ sets, they’ve built a cult following that defies the era of online shopping. Named London’s "coolest corner shop," it proves that community spirit and a personal touch are the ultimate competitive advantages. From daily homemade curries to pop-up supper clubs, Londis N16 is where tradition meets the London zeitgeist.
