DE-PRISSIFY YOUR PICNIC GO TO A DELL, AD LIB, ENJOY

Come picnicking season, forego fancy hampers and cobble together your own. Soho institution Lina Stores (linastores.

co.uk) will be opening a restaurant this summer but the shop (left) is always a solid bet, while capital newcomers include Covent Garden’s Petersham Nurseries (petershamnurseries.com) and market stall queen Isidora Popović’s first permanent home, Popina (popina.

co.uk), in Mayfair. Elsewhere, The Goods Shed (thegoodsshed.co.uk) by Canterbury West station perpetually has the critics fawning, and there’s also Gog Magog Hills Farm Shop (thegog.com) outside Cambridge, award-winning Blacker

Hall Farm (blackerhallfarmshop.co.uk) in Wakefield and, further north, Edinburgh’s oldest Italian deli and wine merchant Valvona & Crolla (valvonacrolla.co.uk).
