London Food Link (LFL) has launched the 'local food finder' - an online directory to help businesses in London locate food produced in and around the capital. LFL’s new service, launched on October 10, is a response to the increasing number of enquiries from businesses looking for sustainable local produce.

London buyers will now be able to find information on a huge range of local and sustainable producers, searching by criteria such as product type, location and delivery area - believed to be the first time that such a wide variety of producers local to London has been made available in one place.

The launch of the local food finder comes hot on the heels of British Food Fortnight, the biggest national celebration of the diverse and delicious range of food that Britain produces. The fortnight encourages businesses and consumers to choose to buy British and buy local.

Oliver Rowe, the BBC’s Urban Chef, enthused: “If the local food finder had been around when I set up my restaurant it would have made my job ten times easier. Now, whenever I want to find a product that’s close to London, I know where to look first.”
