Grocery stores, food shops, supermarkets and hair suppliers across London — with the address and opening hours you need before you travel.

Finding an African shop in London

London has the largest concentration of African shops in the UK by a wide margin — from Peckham and Camberwell in the south to Hackney, Tottenham and Edmonton in the north, with strong pockets in Croydon, Woolwich and Stratford. The practical problem is not finding a shop, it is choosing between several that stock different things.

This page covers African grocery shops, food shops, supermarkets and hair suppliers across London.

What London shops stock

West African

Peckham, Camberwell and Deptford carry the deepest West African grocery trade — yam, plantain, cassava, egusi, stockfish, palm oil and dried fish.

East African and Horn of Africa

Tottenham, Edmonton and Wembley have strong Ethiopian, Eritrean and Somali shops — injera, berbere, shiro and coffee.

Hair and beauty

Dalston, Peckham and Brixton stock braiding hair, extensions, wigs and black soap by brand.

Common questions — London

Where are the African shops in London?

They are spread across the city rather than concentrated in one district. The city centre and the east end carry the largest concentration of grocery shops, with others serving their local neighbourhoods. Check the listing address before travelling across the city.

Is there an African supermarket in London?

Yes — several of the larger shops operate as supermarkets rather than corner shops, with fresh meat, frozen fish and a wider household range. They are listed here alongside the smaller grocery shops.

Where can I buy African hair products in London?

Hair and beauty suppliers are listed separately from the grocery shops, because they stock by brand and often keep later hours. Look for the hair shop listings rather than the grocery ones.

Do London African shops deliver?

Some do, most do not. Where a shop has published a delivery option it is noted on the listing. If it is not noted, ring before assuming — it is the fastest way to find out.
