Local Honey London

Raw honey from Winwood Honey, a family's small apiary in Lloyd Park, Croydon, where the bees have over 45 acres of hedgerows, blackberries and wild flowers to forage. It started as a garden hobby in 2021.

The honey is only filtered to keep it clear and runny, with nothing added, and it changes through the year: early honey from winter cherry, hawthorn, blackthorn and the park's plum trees, a light, floral white clover honey, and a dark amber late-summer honey with caramel, almost molasses notes from blackberry and wild flowers. Harvests swing with the weather, from over 100kg from three hives in a good year to far less in a poor one.

Honey is sold in 1lb and half-pound jars direct from the apiary. Email to arrange a visit – they are happy to show you round, talk about the bees and help you choose.
