Heart-Streatham-Issue-8

I’m often surprised by the wonderful
gifts and delicious foodie treats
available in Streatham. I asked
the Streatham MumsNet
Facebook Group and some of
our advertisers and contributors
for their personal Streatham
shopping gems to help spread
the word. Here are some of their
suggestions.
FROM SERENDIPITy
Selma Jevanjee of Selma’s Table
http://selmastable.wordpress.com
suggested “Thompsons Deli in
LITTLE PRINT
Streatham Hill, has some lovely
JEWELLERy
cheeses. Why bother with
those vacuum packed, unripe,
standard grocery store versions,
when you can buy perfectly ripe
cheese in our local delis” “Make
an Ottolenghi-style hamper by
popping in to Mediterranean Food
Centre in Streatham Hill for date
molasses, pomegranate syrup, tahini,
dried limes, orange blossom water, nuts in
Honey, Tamarind Pulp etc... Try Streatham’s
many charity shops or pop into Indigo Tree for
some gorgeous containers for your hamper.
Claudia Ruane agreed - “there are really
interesting (sometimes collectible books) in the
charity shops - like those found in smart antique
shops. We are so lucky to have the British
Heart Foundation Bookshop on Streatham
High Rd.
with a fantastic selection of gifts for
