La Salumeria

La Salumeria has been open for as long as we can remember, which is at least 20 years. It’s a tiny, old-fashioned, family-run Italian deli on Trafalgar Road in Greenwich—think more Satriale’s from The Sopranos than Eataly. Pick up dried pasta, soft drinks, and aperitivos, plus a fine selection of breads, cheeses, cold cuts, and sausages. Throughout the day, hot sandwiches are also served, rarely costing more than £3.50—so prepare to queue at peak lunchtime. We love the simple salami Milano, provolone, and artichoke on ciabatta. It’s toasted and tightly wrapped to allow the fillings to become better acquainted while you find somewhere to eat it. There’s not an option to sit in, but Greenwich Park is just a few minutes away.
