I love London

LOFT design by

My final post from Westbourne Grove, LOFT design by is a beautifully designed store where I was mesmerised more by the interior than by what they were selling, which is rather gorgeous clothes. They are a French company with shops in Paris. I was not allowed to take any photographs and was told that Kelly Hoppen had been refused permission too :) The interior is a combination of found objects, framed prints, art and furniture - oh yes and some clothes too.

Sargent & Co

If you love anything bicycle related with a history, Rob Sargent's wonderful shop Sargent & Co 74 Mountgrove Road, Finsbury Park, London N5 2LT is the place to go. I visited in the Summer when his tomatoes were in full bloom.

Algerian Coffee Stores

The smell of coffee is the first thing that hits you when you walk into the Algerian Coffee Stores, 52 Old Compton Street, Soho, London W1.

Soho bug :) spotted on my way to see some art.

Jessie Chorley

Jessie Chorley is one of the artists exhibiting at the Flow Gallery in London as part of Making Stories this month. The gallery will be closed from the 24th December and re-opens on the 5th January until the 10th January. Jessie Chorley also has a wonderful shop in Columbia Road which she runs with artist Buddug Humphreys. Go to their website to check opening times.

BIG BAG

Tikki Patchwork is a lovely shop, just around the corner from Kew Gardens, with lots of fabrics and some great books. I found this Japanese craft book there. If you are planning to visit check their opening times on their website as they do vary from week to week.

The Knitting and Stitching Show is at Alexandra Palace in London from the 9th - 12th October.

Beedell Coram

On my way back from East London last week I popped into this shop opposite Spitalfields market in Commercial Street. It is piled high with boxes of old stuff. The shop does not have a website, it is open Wednesday-Sunday. I found something a little bit special.

Mar Mar Co

Nurture Nature, an installation for the London Design Festival at Mar Mar Co 16, Cheshire Street, London E2. Clever bird feeders to convert fizzy drinks bottles and lovely decorative artwork by Rob Ryan.

Green and Stone

Green and Stone, 259 Kings Road, London SW3 is a beautiful old-fashioned shop with all sorts of art and craft materials. I loved the selection of drawing inks in glass bottles with corks.

Paintworks

Paintworks, 99-101 Kingsland Road, London E2 has the best paper supplies as well as lots of other art materials - I love to use their ready cut sheets of acid free cartridge and rag paper - all in handy packs and for a very reasonable price. I cannot believe I forgot to take a photograph of the shop!

Lush Designs

Those lovely ladies at Lush Designs have opened a new shop at 6a Greenwich Market, London SE10(next to the Admiral Hardy public house). I wish them lots of luck with their new venture and can't wait to come and visit. The shop is open 11-6 Monday-Friday and 10-6 on Saturdays.
