My London: The Xandwich’s Top 5 Sandwich Places

3rd October 2017 | By Emily Gray

Instagrammer, The Xandwich is sassy with his sangers. He’s on a mission to eat and photograph the best London has to offer when it comes to the quintessentially British dish; because our sandwiches are so much more than just bread and fillings, they’re masterpieces in their own right. We caught up with him to find out where we should be at the top of our list when we need that carb fix.

Max's Sandwich Shop

Dedicated to Making the Perfect British Dish

Max’s Sandwich Shop in Crouch Hill is dedicated to making the perfect British dish: the sandwich. Max Halley, the owner, is a total odd-ball but at the same time the best person in the world. He is the equivalent of a sushi master, think ‘Jiro Dreams of Sushi’ but instead ‘Max’s Make a Sandwich’. He exudes passion and a deep knowledge of flavours, contrasts and textures, the perfect ingredients to the perfect sanger.
