    As a kiwi who has lived in the UK for 3 years ..... I know how hard it is to find a decent selection of kiwi food in one place in person! I saw this place online and said I had to go .... So glad I did they have a huge range of food from pantry supplies to lollies, Chocolate and chips the prices were fair (relative), I think it was about £3.50(ISH) for pack of biscuits and same lollies- will definitely be going back

    So thrilled to discover Hot News’ amazing selection of Australia and New Zealand treats. Picked all of this up for £19.95!

    It was a bit hard to find, it's round the back (across from Cineworld). Once I got there the NZ stuff was all there 😍😍😍😍 Having not seen any NZ stuff since I left 1 year ago, Arnott's shapes were a sight for sore eyes. Defiantly coming back. LPT: don't drag your Scottish friend across London for it. They don't appreciate it.

    Hidden goldmine of kiwi and Aussie snacks, chips, lollies, booze. I think there's some South African stuff also. Lovely owner too.

    This shop hidden away downstairs in this retail unit is a delight offering lots of famous sweet treats imported from around the world. So, if you want to try chocolates from Australia for example or a favourite snack from the USA then go no further. This store is not far from Canary Wharf station and close by are many nice restaurants just in case you fancy that. The owner is also a friendly fellow so do ask him if there is something specific which you are on the hunt for as he is an expert importer ;)

    Great selection of Aussie treats that can’t be easily found in the UK. Perfect for homesick expats.

    Categorised as "News Stand", does not sell newspapers ( correct 10/06/21 ) UPDATE - thanks to the owner for the reply for which you get an extra star. I'll leave the review in place for now to avoid others having a wasted journey.
