Nope, definitely a baguette-place.  Don't remember my local kebab van
(McCoys, by Pembroke) doing hummous, in fact...  They did have v good
veggieburgers, though.  Why doesn't London have kebab vans?  Not,
obviously, that I eat kebabs, but they all did veggie stuff as well
(though never eat a veggie kebab - this translates as 'pitta bread with
salad in' & is the biggest ripoff ever).
