Life under lockdown has inspired Londoner Sophia Sutton-Jones to start up her own business.

News of her culinary skills spread after she took a homemade loaf of bread to a neighbour who was unable to leave their house.

Due to a shortage of yeast during lockdown, Sophia turned to the ancient sourdough method for her loaves.

Sourdough has experienced a rise in popularity in recent years and Sophia was soon struggling to keep up with demand.

Sophia and her husband, who, prior to lockdown, sold kitchen equipment, launched a kickstarter campaign to secure the funds for a commercial bakery.

With investment from a growing crowd of Instagram followers, the couple were soon able to establish the pastel pink 'Sourdough Sophia'.

Queues snake round the block for a chance to snap up Sophia's loaves, croissants, pain au chocolat, muffins and cruffins.

Running a bakery is no easy task.

But how does Sophia feel about the 14 hours a day she now spends in her shop?
