Really depends which supermarket and which location. The large supermarkets have a large choice (though you are right, not on par with the French, Dutch and Germans!). We do have a lot of local bakeries though which fill in the gap left over.
Now compared to the US (and I'm sure there are areas where you can be well served) it is a desert for bread. You may get the odd 'artisanal sour dough loaf', but the very fact it's shipped from california and will last 2 weeks makes you wonder!
- ClikeX 6y agoI went to London last year and the selection has definately improved compared to when I first went there 15 years ago. Just to clarify. Our supermarket bread tends to be pretty shit (some exceptions). It'll be dry, flavourless, and void of all nutrition. So it's not like all the bread here is amazing. But if I look up the supermarkets in the area here there's always at least one practically right next to it. And sometimes the supermarket and the bakery do a partnership and they'll have the artisinal bread in the supermarkt itself. Which is great.
