Our wonderful shops

At the heart of the magic of South End Green are its shops. Stretching along a parade that runs from the corner bookshop where George Orwell once worked (more recently a pizzeria, but now an upmarket burger bar) all the way to the post office heroically saved for the community by the assembled forces of Bill Oddie and some other local notables, they offer a range of merchandise unmatched by the nearby pretenders such as Belsize Village, Englands Lane, Queen's Crescent or that small group of shops over the other side of the Heath by the tennis courts.
