Where to buy food around the flat...
The best fruit and veggies are with Cai at Chelsea Fruit and Veg on 84 Brixton road. Cash only unfortunately.
For anything else that is food and non-food-related, Happy Shop next door is a well equipped off-license (grocery store).
Di lieto has everything italian, right on the same road as the flat (Cured hams, Cheeses, Pastas, Sauces as well as ready meals).
A tesco is also near on both Brixton and Clapham roads.
