Long live cornershops! Caroline Craig and Sophie Missing pick a quartet in (mostly) east London.
BUBBLY SERVICE
Palm 2

GREEN ON THE GREEN
Newington Green Fruit and Vegetables

HOW I NEED YOU
Leila's Shop

EAST IS EAST
Longdan
'When we don't want to go into "town", we come here to stock up on chilli sauce, shallot flakes, noodles, green papaya, frozen dumplings and kitchen utensils.' 25 Hackney Rd, E2 7NX. Shoreditch High St Overground.
