A convert/addict after one or two too many bottomless sodas in the States, I have for several months been searching for Root Beer in London. You might think this should be a simple quest, but despite the number of US visitors they must receive daily Harvey Nicks, Selfridges and Harrods food halls all left me drawing a blank. Finally, Felicity discovered at Christmas that Partridges on the Kings Rd sells cans of A&W root beer at £1.20 per can. Mmmm… But still I was missing my favourite brand Barqs. Imagine my delight to discover a new shop called CyberCandy in Covent Garden (map) selling cans of Barqs for £1.10. You can also buy direct from their website and they carry full-fat and diet A&W as well as Barqs. Lovely.
