Where To Find Good Bread in Regent's Park
On a London morning, the walk from Regent’s Park towards Primrose Hill has a particularly persuasive soundtrack: paper bags rustling, coffee being poured and the soft crackle of a loaf still warm from the oven. A few streets away, bakers are shaping sourdough, glazing pastries and hand-icing cakes before most of the city has properly woken up. Whether you are planning a leisurely weekend breakfast or searching for artisan sourdough London locals genuinely rate, these nearby bakeries are well worth the detour.
The best options are spread across Primrose Hill, Camden, St John’s Wood, Belsize Park, Marylebone and Kentish Town. Some are serious about long-fermented bread; others make a very good argument for breakfast being built around a croissant, cinnamon bun or cupcake.
The Best Bakeries Near Regent’s Park
1. Primrose Bakery
Location: Primrose Hill, 69 Gloucester Avenue, NW1 8LD
Rating: 4.2/5
Opening hours: Monday–Sunday, 9am–5pm
Primrose Bakery is the place to go when “bread” quietly turns into “something sweet, beautifully decorated and impossible to resist”. Founded in 2004 by Martha Swift and Lisa Thomas, this Primrose Hill institution is known for hand-iced cupcakes, seasonal cakes, cookies, brownies and celebration cakes, all made in small batches. Organic ingredients and free-range eggs are used wherever possible, with inventive flavours ranging from jammy dodger to cherry cola.
2. Melrose & Morgan
Location: Primrose Hill, 42 Gloucester Avenue, NW1 8JD
Rating: 4.5/5
Opening hours: Monday–Friday, 8am–7pm; Saturday–Sunday, 8am–6pm
Melrose & Morgan is a polished neighbourhood food emporium with the sort of bakery counter that can turn a quick loaf purchase into a full picnic. Its handmade breads, pastries, celebration cakes and other baked goods sit alongside an impressive deli selection of cheeses, charcuterie and seasonal provisions. For bread, pastry and beautifully sourced ingredients in one stop, it is a dependable Primrose Hill favourite.
3. Little Bread Pedlar Primrose Hill
Location: Primrose Hill, 6 Erskine Road, NW3 3AJ
Rating: 4.7/5
Opening hours: Monday–Friday, 8am–3pm; Saturday–Sunday, 8:30am–3:30pm
This tiny, takeaway-first shop is the serious bread stop on the list. Arrive early for long-fermented sourdough country loaves, baguettes and rosemary focaccia, then add a Kouign Amann or hazelnut chocolatine if the morning is going especially well. The bakes are known to sell out, which is usually a useful sign rather than a logistical complaint.

4. Arôme Bakery Marylebone
Location: Marylebone, 27 Duke Street, W1U 1LE
Rating: 4.6/5
Opening hours: Tuesday–Friday, 8:30am–5:30pm; Saturday, 9am–6pm; Sunday, 9am–4pm
Arôme brings a French-Asian twist to the Marylebone pastry run. Its miso croissants and honey butter toast are the headline acts, joined by inventive seasonal bakes that reward an open-minded breakfast order. The Duke Street setting is a quieter alternative to a more hectic central London pastry queue, and the bakery was named No. 1 in Time Out London’s Best Bakeries 2025.
5. Camden Bakery
Location: Camden Town, 94 Camden High Street, NW1 0LT
Rating: 4.4/5
Opening hours: Monday–Sunday, 7am–7pm
Camden Bakery is a useful all-day option, opening early and keeping the ovens, pastry shelves and sandwich counter going until evening. Expect sourdough loaves, croissants, cinnamon buns, filled sandwiches and artisan pastries with a pleasingly straightforward approach. It is the sort of place that works equally well for a quick weekday breakfast or a generously packed lunch between Camden errands.
6. Panzer's Deli
Location: St John’s Wood, 13–19 Circus Road, NW8 6PB
Rating: 4.5/5
Opening hours: Monday–Sunday, 7am–8pm; coffee bar, 7am–7pm
Panzer’s has been a St John’s Wood landmark since 1944, and its bakery offering is just one part of the wonderfully busy experience. Freshly baked bagels, challah, breads and pastries share the stage with hand-sliced Scottish smoked salmon and a substantial Jewish deli counter. Come hungry, leave with provisions, and try not to spend too long debating which bagel filling deserves top billing.
7. Euphorium Bakery Belsize Park
Location: Belsize Park, 211 Haverstock Hill, NW3 4QN
Rating: 4.3/5
Opening hours: Monday–Sunday, 8am–4:30pm
Euphorium’s Belsize Park branch is a reliable stop for classic bakery comfort: sourdough, baguettes, croissants, pain au chocolat, artisan pastries and celebration cakes. The bakery group was established in Islington in 1999 and has built its reputation around honest, well-made baking. Haverstock Hill locals can also pick up something celebratory without needing to make a special journey across London.

8. Kossoffs
Location: Kentish Town, 259 Kentish Town Road, NW5 2JT
Rating: 4.6/5
Opening hours: Monday–Sunday, 8am–6pm
Kossoffs combines a century-old Jewish baking heritage with a thoroughly modern pastry imagination. Fourth-generation baker Aaron Kossoff revived the family name in 2021 after experience at The Ivy, Little Bread Pedlar, Honey & Co. and Ottolenghi. The menu includes sourdough alongside miso and chive swirls, twice-baked hazelnut croissants and kimcheese claws: familiar craft, but with considerably more personality than your average bun.
What If Getting There Isn't An Option?
Sometimes the bakery run is the best part of the morning. Sometimes the dog is asleep on your feet, the rain is horizontal and leaving the house for a loaf feels like an unnecessarily ambitious expedition. That is where the growing appetite for breakfast delivery London makes sense: good bread and pastries arriving at home, without turning breakfast into a logistical exercise.
It is also why more Londoners are looking for a pastry subscription UK service or a bread subscription London option that feels considered rather than anonymous. Local delivery, recyclable packaging and a zero waste bakery London approach matter increasingly, particularly when paired with bike delivery food London. For slow Saturdays, weekend breakfast delivery London can be a small luxury; for busy households, it is simply a very good plan. The most appealing version combines that convenience with sustainable food delivery London and bread made with the same care as the best neighbourhood bakeries.
Butter & Crust: Bakery Quality At Home
For those mornings when you would rather stay in, Butter & Crust brings together some of London’s best local artisan producers and delivers sourdough, pastries and breakfast goods by 9am every weekend. It is a thoughtful alternative to the bakery dash, especially if what you want is properly made bread without the early start.
Deliveries travel by bicycle across inner London in recyclable packaging, while everything is baked to order to avoid unnecessary food waste. Subscriptions are flexible too, so you can pause, skip or cancel whenever life gets in the way. Coverage includes most of London’s zones 1–3 and is expanding, making it a particularly welcome choice for anyone seeking artisan sourdough London style baking without leaving the kitchen.
