Save the People's Supermarket

Due to financial difficulties, The People's Supermarket has struggled to keep up with the payment of business rates to Camden Council. The People's Supermarket is a Co-operative and Community Benefit Society and operates for the benefit of its members and the community, not in pursuit of profit. For that reason, we ask that Camden Council continue to support us by allowing for the renegotiation of rate payments. In the absence of such support, The People's Supermarket will become insolvent by March 1st.

When we were in London recently we stayed near Lamb's Conduit, a street in Bloomsbury with charming shops and pubs. We bought a bottle of wine at The People's Supermarket and asked if they could sell us a corkscrew to open it. They had none for sale but a very nice fellow fetched one from downstairs and gave it to us so I have a soft spot for this place and hope they manage to stay afloat.
