A grocery shop doesn't normally do much - strip lighting, a trolley with one bad wheel, a queue for the tills. Which makes it all the more striking when one gets this right. The ones on this list weren't built for convenience: they're set inside a nineteenth-century Milanese delicatessen, an Essendon warehouse turned Italian food theatre, and a Tribeca corner that's made the weekly shop feel like a lifestyle statement. Whether you're stocking up or just passing through, these are worth a diversion.

Our weekly Nice Things Edit is a curated Monday round-up of what we’re loving right now. From our favourite pieces on Glassette to a recipe, a watch, a read, a place to visit, a restaurant, and a gift worth bookmarking.
Each week, every member of the Glassette team shares their current favourites, whether that’s new arrivals, pieces we’ve spotted trending, or timeless finds we can’t stop thinking about. Think of it as a weekly dose of joy, discovery, and design inspiration, handpicked by the Glassette team.

Nice Things This Week

Welcome to If I Had A Million, our new series where we ask people anonymously what they'd actually do if they won a million pounds. Not what you should do with a windfall like that, what you'd really do. Each month, one person tells us exactly how they'd split it, spend it, and share it. No names, no judgement, just honesty.
First up: a 26-year-old trainee joiner from Bath, currently renting, who's already got it all mapped out, down to the industrial knitting machine.

If I had a million...

Put the kettle on and spend five minutes with Holly Middleton-Joseph, head chef and director of Hausu in Peckham, and you quickly sense that cooking, for her, is rooted in instinct, heritage and honesty. Raised across cultures, with Chinese and Trinidadian roots woven into everything she makes, she came up through some of London's most respected kitchens before stumbling, almost accidentally, into a restaurant of her own.
After a phone call out of the blue and a month of building something from scratch on a shoestring, Hausu was born - and with it, a DIY spirit that still runs through every corner of the place. Now a National Restaurant Awards Rising Star, Holly reflects on cooking without a label, the new late-night bar upstairs, and why the food always has to feel true to her first.

The Rising Star Behind Peckham's Best-Kept Secret

London summers are fleeting, which means when the sun finally shows up, you need to know exactly where to be. Whether you're after a lazy long lunch, golden-hour wine, or a proper feast under the open sky, the capital's outdoor dining scene delivers. From canal-side spots in Hackney to buzzy terraces in Soho and neighbourhood gems scattered across the city, we've rounded up the very best restaurants for eating outside in London, because table selection matters just as much as what's on the menu.
