Where to buy Root Beer in London
March 5th, 2007
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.

Barq’s? BARQ’S?!?!?
That’s not proper root beer. At the very least, you could have held out for IBC. And if you’re ever here in NoVA (is there a Googleplex in NoVA that I haven’t heard about yet?) the thing to get is Dominion Root Beer.
