Get Loose Foods 1a Goldsmiths Row, London E2 8QA

"My local zero waste shop! It's a small place but they have an impressive range of loose items, from pasta, rice and nuts to cleaning products and oils. Everything is organic or on organic principles and it's fairly priced. They have a full product list on the website and they regularly update their social media pages so you know the latest news at the shop. Shout-out to the amazing people working and volunteering there who create a very relaxed shopping experience!"

"Honestly, one of my fave spots in the borough. It’s a wee shop but it’s got everything you need! Remember to bring your containers and if you have any questions the lovely staff and volunteers will make you feel welcomed. They’re constantly coming out with new things and really take into consideration what they’re customers want. I also suggest grabbing one of their chocolate fishes or cookies at the counter. That’s the perfect shopping snack !!"

"Love the range of items I can refill - outside they also have a space for refillable laundry liquid, hand soap, Faith in Nature shampoo/conditioner/soap, and hand sanitizer. Prices are very fair too!"

"Awesome zero (or minimal) waste grocers. Small but lots of handy products from pantry food/spices to cleaning products, various tea and fresh milk (you can also order oat milk!) You can also join a club for fresh weekly seafood & vegetables. Wish there was more of these around. Worth checking out especially as a local."

"Such a cute shop! Many of the shop fittings are up-cycled or second hand. The products are all organic and plastic free. Bring your own bags, jars or tuppaware to fill up the amount you need of loose items. So much nicer than shopping in a supermarket. Most of the staff are volunteers and are super helpful if you have any questions."
