The Interiors of This New London Grocery Store Will Make You Want to Give This Once-Dated Kitchen Layout Another Go

A sideway view of a luxury supermarket with wooden open shelving filled with fruit and vegetables, jars of pickled products behind them, and bags of vegetables sitting in an open fridge.

Living in London is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, the British capital puts anything, from world-class theaters and music venues to award-winning restaurants, at your fingertips. On the other, everything — even simply daring the long-dreaded North-to-South of the River commute to spend the night at some friends' — comes at an increasingly high financial and time cost.

Would life in London suddenly feel a little more quality-oriented and intentional? That's what Jared Wybrow and Raissa van Dijk are trying to find out with London Épicerie, the grocery shop they have just launched on Ebury Street.
