Where to shop around Cambium
Love a potter around the shops? Perhaps you relish discovering that special something, a gift for a friend or a treat for you. Or maybe you’re a true foodie, looking to try new flavours and ingredients from around the world – something that might be found in your local deli. Shopping in and around Cambium is a real pleasure – and there’s so many special finds to uncover.
In Southfields, you really can shop local. Select the finest meat from the local butcher on the high street or grab an unusual cheese from the French deli. There’s also the obligatory coffee stops in abundance for your morning fix.
Nearby Putney is a shopper’s paradise, with three shopping malls housing both high-street and independent stores, while Wimbledon Village – with its exclusive chic boutiques and luxury brands – makes for an indulgent and pleasurable day out.
Looking for that ‘je ne sais quoi’? Well, you might just find it here among this treasure trove of antique French furniture and textiles. Think French linen tea towel, antique Victorian pine servers, mirrors and baskets, and you’ll be along the right lines. There’s plenty for everyone here – have a mooch around, rifle through the trinkets and uncover that special gift for you or a friend.

A tiny French deli with a local feel, this place is well-loved by locals. The patisserie in the window looks as if it has been scooped up out of a French boulangerie – with tarte tatins, chocolate eclairs and tarten à l’abricot – while the filled baguettes are second to none. Not only does it sell plenty of authentic French produce in the shop, it also has a thriving online business, and will deliver throughout London.
