Its no £36MM It’s £50MM and rising. You would be horrified at the amount of waste food being compacted at the back of the store. It is an unmitigated disaster of a store and is empty all o0f the week with w/e being busy with tourists and rubberneckers. It really is a blight on Kensington and shows the arrogance of their Management who were told it would not work but would not listen…a bit like our Government

I’m still waiting for our Whole Foods to tank. The words “out-sized and under used” seem to apply to our Whole Foods as well. It is a beautiful building, even has a copper waterfall, but the prices? OY!

Salaams Yusuf, there still is an ongoing ‘Fresh and wild’ near where we used to live in Stoke Newington, but to be honest with you, it’s too expensive for all but the odd ‘little pleasures’ purchase. Also, I read about a Muslim-owned farm that specialises in halal, organic, free-range meat, but again found it to be prohibitively expensive compared to the local halal butchers here in North London. Where do you draw the cost/benefit line with regards to things like this? How damaging is the food we live on from mainstream supermarkets, on a physical and spiritual level? Can we trust our local ‘halal’ butchers?
