Refill shops can make it easier to buy groceries and household essentials with less unnecessary packaging, but local services change over time. In this Friendly Turtle EcoBlog guide, we revisit the original 2019 list of seven London options and one bonus shop in Devon. The review distinguishes information confirmed on business websites from historical addresses and services that still need checking. Hetu is clearly marked as closed, Naked Larder's order-and-collect model is explained, and readers are encouraged to check branch details and refill availability before travelling. Use the entries as a starting point for planning a refill trip, then compare current services, stock and travel needs with options closer to home. We also consider buying quantities you will use, taking suitable clean containers and avoiding cross-contamination, so a lower-waste shopping trip stays useful, informed and manageable.
