Bookshops, handlooms, tailors and ironmongers. The places that taught your street to look like itself.
ORDER · PURE-RATING · NO ADVERTISER INPUTS
NEW OXFORD STREET · WC1
Hand-made umbrellas and walking sticks behind an etched-glass shopfront. They re-cover the canopy in front of you.
MARYLEBONE · HIGH STREET
Oak galleries, skylights, books shelved by country. The travel writing section is a public good.
SPITALFIELDS · FOURNIER STREET
Restoration of Victorian gas-converted lamps. Bring in the lamp, walk out the next week with it brought back.
CHARING CROSS ROAD · WC2
Mahogany counter, brass scales, the smell of a hundred-year-old shop. Pipe tobacco blended to order; opinions free.
SOHO · OLD COMPTON STREET
A narrow shop that has roasted its own beans on the same street since the late nineteenth century. The espresso to go is famously cheap.
MARYLEBONE · PADDINGTON STREET
A bench, a needle, every kind of leather. Resoling done while you wait; opinions offered freely.
