  • Am hopefully doing homemade burgers for a few mates tomorrow night.

    I cannot however be arsed to make the buns - any recommendations for somewhere to get brioche buns around Brixton / Herne Hill? Or just a heads up on good supermarket choices? I do love a good set of baps.

    there's a couple of bakeries around those sides
    https://www.zomato.com/london/ye-olde-bakery-herne-hill
    is the one on just on the corner by herne hill station, they do buns, not sure about brioche.

    blackbird almost opposite ye olde bakery is more of a cafe and cake shop, but they do good bread.

    kindred bakery is further down half moon lane, list of breads they do is linked beneath.

    my personal favourite is the old post office bakery a bit further over on landor road, again they mostly do loaves, but might have some buns in..

    you can always try the farmers market up by oval tube station.
    otherwise if you'd held off until sunday night, the farmers market in herne hill and brixton would probably be a good bet as welll...

  • If I were you, I'd go with Portuguese rolls or carcaça... You can pick them up at the deli on the corner of Atlantic/Brixton Road or Funchal Bakery on Stockwell Road... They're fab, like these but less crusty...

    Old Post Office is great, but not for buns...
