Juice Island, Earlham Street
This tiny food stand is a must if you’re anywhere near Charing Cross Road or Cambridge Circus.
This stall doesn’t do simple straight-up orange juice or apple juice. It offers you a wide range of interesting mixes, at £2.50 for a small one or £3 for a large juice. (Smoothies are 50p more.)
‘Robust’ mixes carrot, beetroot, celery and ginger; the Apple zing mixed carrot, apple and ginger, and the ‘cool and spicy’ option is orange, pear and ginger. All rather different – and if you’re thinking ginger is a bit of leitmotif here, you’d be right. These juices pack a special extra punch!
There’s also wheatgrass if you happen to be a believer in this. (I’m not. I also hate root beer. Ginger beer, on the other hand, is one of my loves – particularly the excellent Fentiman’s ginger beer, a fiery experience for your taste buds!)
The stall is open Monday to Saturday, all day. One of the unsung heroes of London street food!
