Remember when you were a kid and sweet shops seemed full of things you'd never seen or tasted before? If you want to repeat the experience, check out Laurie's on Exhibition Road (it's at the Guest Palace end of the road). The shop is full of sacks containing sweets, nuts and dried fruits from Iran and Lebanon. Everything is sold by the quarter, half or kilo. The best bit? You're more than welcome to try everything before you buy.
