Turkish food on Fore Street, Edmonton
Fore Street through Upper Edmonton and the A10 corridor in N9 and N18 hold twenty-two Turkish businesses: this is bakery and butcher country, with lahmacun, simit and baklava alongside the grills, and Edmonton Green the place for a cheap and very good lunch.
How to walk it
Start at Edmonton Green station and walk south down Fore Street toward the North Circular; the shopping parades along the way hold the bakeries, cafés and kebab houses. Edmonton Green's market and shopping centre have the butchers and grocers.
What to eat where
Lahmacun and pide from the bakeries, which are among the best in North London; simit and börek in the morning; baklava by weight from the patisseries; a grill at one of the kebab houses in the evening. Everything is cheap.
What to know
Edmonton is a working neighbourhood and the Turkish trade here is everyday food rather than destination dining. Several of the bakeries supply restaurants across London. Hygiene ratings are mixed; use the listings.
