This shop is incredible. It sells every health food known to humankind, a cure for pretty much every ailment (if you’re into herbal remedies) and some splendid extras too - all in a boutique the size of my living room, which believe me, is not big.

The shelves climb all the way to the ceiling and are packed so tightly with goods of every healthy description that you fear to take something out unless the whole lot caves in on you. There are bags of grains you’ve never heard of, packets of seeds, boxes of curious foodie-type objects, tubs of sundry vitamins and supplements by the hundredweight - as well as all the usual stuff you’d expect. The central shelf stack is equally well-stocked and there are fridges for fresh stuff along the side. No wonder they have to spill out onto the pavement.

There was a review in Time Out magazine this week that said you couldn’t buy groceries in Greenwich Market. Rubbish. Clearly they didn’t venture into this little organic health food treasure. Greenlands is wonderful without being too ‘hippy-ish’.

For a start, they do parsnip chips. I have an addiction to parsnip crisps. Crisps in general. But parsnips are wonderful too so they make me excited. It’s not easy to find these anywhere so the huge bags you can get here are worth a trip into Greenwich alone.

They’re a friendly bunch here and they know their stuff. Whether you’ve gone in for your echinacea (handy with all the strange snowy stuff right now) or you just want a healthy snack, they’ll be able to help you. In fact, they willingly help you. That’s nice. I like that in a shop, it’s important.

They’re so good at what they do, I don’t actually need to come here very often. Which is a shame, the staff are friendly and I like it. Its a tiny poky little place that is clearly run by people who love what they do. It’s shops like this that keep the Greenwich Market as it is.
