Everything you need in the world is in SoTo, except dried chia berries.

I passed there yesterday and it is where half of Lloyds Pharmarcy used to be. It's great that it's opening up but I was told by a nutritionist 'keep away from H&B as their stuff is not all that, and that I'm better off going to the Haelan Centre. Do you recommend Holland & Barrett?

Holland +Barrett food is like any other branded wholefood/health food. It's a conventionally owned commercial company, part of NBTY Europe which is owned by the Carlyle Group, the enormous USian company that owns I think half of all USian food producers. The UK company does not sell GM food. A lot of their goods are from Neals Yard. I don't know where Haelan Centre buys from.  

I can walk there, I can't walk to Crouch End.

No worries, as I will still patronise it.

yes, so will I, will try to switch some of my Tescos shopping there.  I was bemused by FB posts by many times wanna be politician Neville Collins complaining about H+B moving into Tottenham. Still haven't heard his specific objections.  I think he has issues with acai berries.
