Not a bakery as such, but the pastries (and coffee) at The Barbary Next Door are a treat. The entrance to this lovely little restaurant can be hard to find. Head for Short’s Gardens and look for the large wooden barrel suspended overhead, slip down the alleyway beneath it and you’ll emerge into Covent Garden’s best kept secret: Neal’s Yard. Follow the sweet smell and treat yourself to a Barbary bun with halva and chocolate glaze.
