Tracey Neuls

Shoe designer Tracey Neuls has opened a new shop on Redchurch Street near Brick Lane in East London.

Designers Faudet-Harrison are to hold their first joint exhibition of new objects at the Tracey Neuls Design Shop. For London Design Week Faudet-Harrison have been invited to alter, amalgamate and redesign a seris of objects in a way that they could only do. Previous design alterations are so clever and effortless; for example, a matchbox where one side of the slide drawer is empty, serving as a place to put the spent matches.

There is a competition to win a pair of Tracey Neuls shoes, more info here.

Fika

I didn't stop for coffee today, this was from my last visit to Fika in Brick Lane in the Wintertime. I love Swedish coffee and the saffron cake was delicious. Thankyou to everyone who keeps dropping by and for your recent comments on past posts, I have missed blogging while life has taken over and it is good to be back and always lovely to hear from you xx

Fika

A new cafe in Brick Lane, all the way from Sweden, Fika serves authentic Swedish coffee and my favourite Swedish bun! And it is right next door to the Beigel Bake. Fika is a Swedish verb which means to drink coffee with friends (usually with something sweet on the side)!

Paula Lindblom left this comment 'What a funny café!My favourite thing is just to take a FIKA for hours with my friends,Gothenburg is one of the café massives places in Sweden, so for me it´s the right place to be and live in...If I will go to London, I will absolutly visit this place!'

Close-up

There is a great film library in Brick Lane called Close-Up. I wish we had somewhere like this in our neighbourhood. I am very happy that BBC4 have started doing a World cinema slot on Wednesdays at 10pm. There are so many films from all over the world that I haven't seen and all those tv channels showing the same tedious selections over and over again. I still love going to the cinema most of all.

Brick Lane Beigel Bake

I have been visiting the Brick Lane Beigel Bake since I was a student, nearly 30 years! There are not many places you can get lunch for a quid. Egg and tomato beigel, eaten sitting on the kerb in some long needed sunshine - bliss! And it stays open all night.



Lauren of she sees red left this comment 'or at 3am in the morning walking home from a party in aldgate... beigel bake made me think of home and our awful australian accent.. ha!'

in LOVE with Brick Lane

If I had to choose a favourite street in London - Brick Lane would be the one for me.
