    Caversham is well-known for its indie shops, most of which are located around the central promenade. Collect freshly baked bread from the family run Geo-Café, get prepped for your Sunday roast with meat from The Caversham Butcher (they’ve been serving the village for 100 years now), or stock up on sustainable lifestyle products and skincare from Nood.
