Used to grow this in Islington. The berries that ripened were absolutely
delicious. Strongly recommended if you have a sunny spot.

Myrtus Ugni berries are edible. Apparently Queen Victoria loved them. Mine fruited for the first time this year but the berries are small and hard. To get a good crop I suspect you have to water them well during summer. They do smell like strawberries and the fatter deeper red ones are sweet.

I've found a site that says they're edible and can be used in jellies but
I'm very cautious....... ;-)
