We do have a Co-op here too but it's a bit out of the way. I did a quick search and they should be in Aldi too? Anyone knows for sure? Aldi is a little closer at least.
Or does anyone know if I can source them online? Greggs does them but they don't have jam in them so they aren't as good.

No, it's got coconut and jam and it's a pastry. I am Italian so not an expert in your cakes but I assume it's a London thing (my boyfriend was born and brought up in London but we live in Essex Now).
Thanks for the replies. I might look in the local Co-op then since I know for sure they sell them."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/37443035","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"_Whatever_"},"datePublished":"2019-04-11T13:06:44.000Z","text":"Aldi have always stocked this near me "},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/37444301","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Frenchmeister"},"datePublished":"2019-04-11T15:46:30.000Z","text":"I know you said supermarket but I'm sure Greggs sell them, or at least used to.

I do work in one of the biggest, if not the biggest, Sainsbury's in the UK and they don't sell them.
I might try making my own as I don't think they are too complicated but I just wanted to get the ones I know for sure he likes.

wow, that looks really delicious. i grew up in london but i have never seen that cake before. i wondered why it was called a cheesecake as those white stuff on the top didn't look like cheese. are you sure it is called a cheese cake? and that it has the name london in it?
i will pop into the co-op when i am next in london to see if i can get one."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/37448429","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"hearts22"},"datePublished":"2019-04-12T08:02:37.000Z","text":"

Absolutely sure. I have had it as well and seen it in Greggs (but no jam) and we bought it in the Co-op like I said in my OP. This one is the one I am after.
No one really knows why they're called cheesecakes, but they are surely a London thing. My boyfriend is from the East End, so maybe that's where they are popular?

i am from the east end but i have never heard of a london cheesecake. but then again i don't pay attention to what cakes are called. i will have a look at the co-op and see if i can get one as i am intrigued to how it tastes but it looks really nice. there's a big co-op where my dad lives, so i am hoping they will have it in store."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52656084","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Greta_Khan"},"datePublished":"2024-04-28T13:10:32.000Z","text":"Tried tesco and Greggs?
