Wedge Card is great a new way to get discounts, savings and special offers from local shops and independent businesses across London. Set up by Big Issue founder John Bird and his daughter Diana in December 2006, Wedge Card aims to help keep local High Streets independent.
From fabulous cheese shops to eclectic records stores, great butchers and delicious greasy spoons, Wedge celebrates the great shopping that can be found in our unique local, independent shops.
In south Westminster we have lots of Wedge shops including delis, hairdressers, flower shops, pubs opticians and clothes shops, particularly in the Pimlico and Strutton Ground areas. 36 shops at last count! Visit the Wedge Card website to find out more about the Wedge shops in SW1.
Wedge Card believes that local shops are the lifeblood of our communities. They are where you meet your neighbours, make connections and engage. By rewarding people for shopping locally we aim to remind people of the great products and great value they can find in their local shops - as well as the vital role they play in fostering a sense of community.
Wedge cards can be bought for £10, to support local shops and receive discount (£5 goes to a local charity when you buy online). There are over 750 local independent shops signed up to Wedge Card across London. Visit www.wedgecard.co.uk or call 020 7401 3913 for more information.
