One day I had to go to class at London Met when suddenly I realized I had never purchased a notebook for it. For our written assignment in class, it would have been catastrophic. Holloway Stationers swooped in wearing its Super Man cape to save the day. Turns out I didn't need the notebook and actually didn't take one note the entire semester, but nonetheless the Stationers were there for me! Staffed by some lovely folks, you feel at Stationer home when you enter here. These aren't the type of people who will staple your hand when you aren't looking. They'll staple your heart with joy (still would hurt, perhaps worse). Anyways, definitely hit up Holloway Stationers for your stationary needs around the Lower Holloway area of London. Ignore all competition, Holloway reigns supreme.

Their main custom comes from London Metropolitan University students as they are in the middle of the Holloway Road campus. Students get a 10% discount which I love. The man who runs the store is very nice, helpful and always up for a good chat. For most of your art and stationary needs, they can provide it at a much cheaper price than some of the Central London shops. If you are unsure about what they may stock, give them a call and they are happy to tell you what they have and what they charge.

So when I walked by this store (on my way to Highgate Wood) this past weekend and I spotted a kid's T-shirt with the London bus featured on it, I knew that this would be the perfect gift for said nephew's upcoming birthday! Walking into the shop, the lady behind the counter greeted my with a warm smile and offered her help. I right away liked how she was very passionate about the T-shirts and other garments made my a local designer. As I didn't have any money on me, she put the T-shirt aside for me and when I came back later in the day, I also bought another T-shirt for my other nephew...they are just too cute! Aside from children's clothing, this shop offers plenty of other gifteable things...the perfect location for anyone who's in need of a present ;-)

Instead it has strictly remained an artist's haven for the best pigments, oils, pastels and brushes in town. They also have the most beautiful easels. Everything in here is so well organised and uncomplicated and the bursts of colour from the pigment jars and the tubes of paint repeat like one rainbow after another. The inventory is colossal, it'll be really hard to not find the paint you're looking for, and if you can't, then the assistant will be able to tell you about stockists who have even rarer brands. If you consider yourself a budding Van Gogh then you know where to come. You'll have to get the 19th century costume somewhere else though.

This tiny emporium seemed to be significantly over-manned and what staff were present specialised in breathing down your neck. That impression of (what shall we call it? a Dickensian petty-mindedness?) was compounded when I returned a little later to exchange a product I had duplicated in error and, after some deferring, was refused by some off-stage managerial presence. Admittedly I didn't have my receipt but I had bought it very recently and they were the only stockist. It took me by surprise but perhaps I'm naive to expect people dealing with artists to be a little bit more flexible.

In a swanky part of town (Marylebone - perhaps our favorite neighborhood currently) and about 10 minutes walk from the hustle and bustle of Oxford St. It is a very inviting store in the corner very close to a favorite London restaurant of ours - the Ivy. On enterIng you are virtually bathed in ribbons, fabric, trims and everything your heart desires to design that unique hat or fascinater (I think that is the right term) for a wedding or for Royal Ascot. Owner (especially) and staff are super friendly and helpful. Downstairs lots of other crazy decorative fixings and this is the space where they run their sessions and workshops Definitely worth a visit if you are into this kind of thing - definitely the best in class!
