Soas Food Co-op

This is a not for profit weekly organic wholefoods (dry items only — no fresh vegetables) stall run by SOAS students. Items are sold at very near cost price (as ordered from wholesellers) — naturally, a little money is needed to cover basic running costs.
I come here for the organic oats at £1 a kilo which is well below supermarket prices for the same item.
Although the stall can provide paper bags, customers are encouraged to bring their own bags and containers to reduce the use of unnecessary packaging.
Highly recommended!
In order to gain entry to the co-​op (and remember it only runs on a Wednesday from 12pm to 4pm), enter the main SOAS building (the older looking one) and approach the reception desk to sign in as a visitor. Make sure you explain that you are not a student and are there to visit the organic food co-​op (sometimes the receptionists get a bit defensive and say the public is not allowed in — remonstrated!). Once you have signed in, you will be given a visitor sticker and can then approach the turnstile barrier where the security guard will let you in.
The entrance to the Students Union is the double set of doors to your right. Go through there; you will pass the stationery store and the food/​drinks store and keep going until you reach the end of the common room where you should see the co-op’s banner hung up.
The students are really friendly and welcome all.
