Naked Larder
South London's zero-waste pioneer operates on a brilliant monthly pre-order system that eliminates packaging while building genuine community connections. Founder Phili personally greets customers during Saturday collections, creating relationships that transform routine shopping into neighborhood gatherings. The extensive range covers everything from organic grains to household cleaning products, with prices that often beat supermarkets despite premium quality. The eco-conscious selection extends beyond food to sustainable accessories and refillable toiletries, creating a complete plastic-free lifestyle solution. The warm Herne Hill atmosphere proves that sustainable shopping can be joyful rather than preachy, with customers sharing tips and recipes while collecting their monthly orders. The system requires planning but rewards commitment with superior quality and environmental impact.
