List Of Local Shops Open For Business
W.Wernick, Old Montague St, 1962 by John Claridge
Every Wednesday, I shall be publishing the up to date list of stalwarts that remain open locally. Readers are especially encouraged to support small independent businesses who offer an invaluable service to the community. This list confirms that it is possible to source all essential supplies locally without recourse to supermarkets.
Be advised many shops are operating revised opening hours at present, so I recommend you call in advance to avoid risking a wasted journey. Please send any additions or amendments for next week’s list to spitalfieldslife@gmail.com

Bravo and good health to all!
I, for one, am hoping that all this Covidian Chaos results in a revival of the fortunes of the Little Shops. Keep well, keep safe. Easter blessings
…….and what a treat to see some images from John Claridge this morning. A photographer with an unmistakable “signature”. I so admire his volume, “East End”, and recommend it to everyone who takes these daily journeys with you, GA.
Health, blessings, and optimism to all.
yesterday, Delwar Hussain’s beautiful writing — may he and his mother come out of this, well — and today this powerful list of businesses open for business, and John Claridge’s images of yesterdays that may as well be today…
C & K Grocers, vegetables and fruit stacked in the window.
thank you.
Thank you! So helpful in stressful times.
