The best bakeries in London have come a long way over the past few years. Once the domain of American-style cupcake stores and old-school British bakers, these days, London’s top bakeries are creating everything from Wildfarmed sourdough<\/a> to glossy French-style patisserie. On any given Saturday, lines can be spotted snaking out of the capital’s best bakeshops\u2014tracking down London’s hottest treat right now is a competitive sport.<\/p>\n

Some of London’s most covetable treats in 2025 come from social media darlings Fortitude Bakehouse<\/a> (TikTok famous for their cream-filled beignets the size of your head), Forno<\/a> (great for Italian-inspired treats), and Ar\u00f4me Bakery<\/a> (the team’s honey milk toast sells out regularly). Then there’s the classic bakeries which kickstarted London’s bakery boom: think Covent Garden’s St John Bakery<\/a>, Borough Market’s Bread Ahead<\/a>, and Hackney’s E5 Bakehouse<\/a>. Some bakeries even spotlight flavors from other bread-obsessed nations\u2014we particularly love the Swedish fika-style treats at Fabrique<\/a>; the Lebanese flavors at Belgravia\u2019s hottest bakery, Common Breads<\/a>; and Sri Lankan<\/a> spices at Pavilion<\/a> in Victoria Park.<\/p>\n

We think fondly of the below as a bakery bucket list\u2014a checklist of spots to visit in all corners of the city. If you’re looking for a specific bakery to visit right now, we have a few pointers on where to go depending on what snacks you’re after.<\/p>\n
