King Food and Wine is a convenient and off-licence store on the edge of Islington and Hackney. During this difficult time, the owner Engin and his family have been an anchor for the neighbourhood and he tells us about how this pandemic has changed his approach to business, his close relationship with the locals and that small gestures really can make a difference.
Our local reporter Misaki, who lives just around the corner from the shop and for who they were a life saver in the past few weeks, is curious to hear about their story.
