Carolyn, who when she was in London didn't get any good tasting tomatoes, but there's an island off the coast, I forget the name now, that grew lots of decent tasting ones in glasshouses and sent them to the mainland.

Hi Carolyn, our tomatoes are about as good as our teeth!!!
The island you are thinking of is the 'Isle of Wight' ( pronounced white) in the solent which is part of the channel, near Portsmouth.
The tomatoes that we buy in our supermarkets are getting better these days but there are still plenty of watery offerings from the cheaper suppliers
Thanks
