Where: My Virtual Neighbourhood
We’ve become hugely reliant on online retail over the last 12 months, which has led to Amazon boss Jeff Bezos adding obscene amounts of money to his back account. But one man’s gain is the loss of many small businesses, so some enterprising Londoners created the My Virtual Neighbourhood app for you to browse all the shops in your area that you can order online from.
Simply search for your local area and you’ll find restaurants and cafes that have pivoted to takeaways, wine shops, bakeries, as well as clothes shops, florists, and all the other independently-owned businesses that have had to get creative during the pandemic.
