tonyhall says: Stewart, this shop reminded me of a 'sweet shop' called Struts, which I would often go to when visiting my Auntie in Walthamstow as a kid. It had large sweet jars on the shelves, and honeycomb, toffee-nut, toffee-apples on nearly all the flat surfaces. But I didn't go into this shop in Hampstead, it might have broken that fond memory.
