By far the best and most inspiring cheese retailer in the UK.
Started by Raldolph and his band of merry troubadours back in the late 70s, this is still the only shop to have a HUGE queue during the last week before Christmas.
They specialise in British cheeses, and now stock Irish ones too.
Many of the Cheddars are ripened in the cellar below the shop. Staff are brilliant, very enthusiastic and generally knowledgeable.
Always ask to taste a cheese you like the looks of - you never know....
They now also stock a great range of breads, sauces, pickles and condiments, with even some imported delicacies.
For cheese accessories and gift you could look elesewhere, although there is a limited (and seasonal?) range available in the shop.
One of my favourite shops in the whole of London!
