Five Nordic Bakeries to Know in London

This is as close as London gets to that classic Swedish experience where the scent leads you in from the street. Step inside their Covent Garden location and you’ll find everything is baked downstairs, daily, on site. It’s small, busy and gloriously to-the-point—more working bakery than lifestyle café. Expect the staples, done right: buns first (of course), then the cakes that slow you down—especially prinsesstårta (princess cake), which Bageriet treats as a true flagship, not a novelty.
