Planta

I can’t believe I’ve lived in The Palace for over 6 months now and never thought to go into Planta until now.
There are certain ‘health shops’ that look like they only offer a herbal remedy for hair loss or impotency and sometimes it’s not worth it to find out. On a quick glance, this place looks very small dark and would have nothing of interest.
But Planta is a wonderfully stocked alternative shop and a great addition to the area.
Upon my first visit I spent quite a long time having a good old browse.
From organic make-​up, herbal teas and coffees, essential oils to Vegetarian, Vegan fresh and frozen food and free from alternatives. More than just Linda Mcartney but a really good selection of quick bites, staples and the good old vegetarian haggis!
It’s really well stocked and while a bit on the pricey side (as with any alternative health/​food shops) it;s not extortionately priced.
Our first trip I ended up walking away with some funky drinks out of the great selection, some Jasmine Tea, a chap stick and kale chips. Great finds.
If you’re looking for a particular something you’re very likely to find it here. Now I’ve found Planta I’m sure I’ll be a regular.
Check it out — you wont be disappointed.

This is a very popular health and nutrition store in crystal palace. Very nice staff.
