Green Onions and Red Lion - healthfoods, vinyl and coffee in Clifton Rise SE14


Tucked off the New Cross Road in Clifton Rise SE14, Green Onions has been going for about 18 months offering a great combination of healthfoods and vinyl.

 


Out front there's vegan goodies, gifts and all the tea bags...


Head to the back though and there's racks of vinyl from Spotty Vinyl Records... some great finds to be had for all you crate diggers, with new stock every week.



I was sorely tempted by a couple of disco 12"s, maybe next time. Don't think they had this soul classic though...



Green Onions is open every day, including until 7:30 pm Monday to Friday, so handy for popping in on the way to or from New Cross Gate if you're commuting.






Also in Clifton Rise you can now get a really good coffee (not to mention plenty of food) at the new Red Lion Coffee Company. I know there's no shortage of cafes in the area, especially up near Goldsmiths, but lets just say coffee quality can be variable if you are as fussy as me.


Red Lion is on corner of Clifton Rise and Batavia Road near to Fordham Park.
