Sucklings

Sucklings, 15 Park Road, Norbiton, Borough of Kingston upon Thames, London KT2, 2002 • Best name ever, albeit more suited to a butcher than a baker. Even better, they had branches in the symmetrically-named Norbiton and Surbiton. By 2017 the former outlet had morphed into Love Me Do Brides, while the Surbiton shop was still operating.
