A lockdown act of kindness has spawned a whole new enterprise for Londoner Sophia Sutton-Jones.

Soon after baker's daughter Sophia delivered a freshly made loaf of bread to a neighbour sheltering during lockdown, the whole street was knocking on her door.

Owing to a scarcity of yeast, Sophia specialised in baking sourdough loaves, the oldest way of making bread.

Sourdough has grown increasingly trendy in recent years with enthusiasts claiming it to be more beneficial than ordinary bread.

The appetite for Sophia's sourdough saw her operation quickly outgrow her home kitchen.

In dire need of a more suitable environment in which to bake and sell their goods, Sophia and her husband, former kitchenware salespeople, crowdfunded the capital to open their ice cream pink bakery 'Sourdough Sophia', turning their Instagram followers into business investors.

Customers are lining up for a bite of Sophia's sourdough, croissants, pain au chocolat, muffins and cruffins, all freshly baked on site.

Despite the 14 hour days, Sophia wouldn't change a thing.
