London is really very special in the Autumn. The Parks are amazing in shades of rust, yellow and wet browns.... Would London be London without an umbrella ? No, I do not think so... of course, we had some lovely rain. My first beautiful day was spent in a new area ( for me ) called Shoreditch. I probably would never have thought of going to such a remote area away from the center, if it wasn't for some appointments nearby.
The Boundary Hotel - A lovely, modern place I would recommend. By Terence Conran. Large loft like rooms in a personal comfortable style.
The ALBION cafe and food market is connected to the Boundary Hotel and has a good atmosphere for lazy breakfast mornings or perhaps the perfect Brunch. I had too many cups of tea and scones ( with clotted cream ). What a he..... it's not every day.
Aesop - the Australian natural skincare line. A shop I recommend to visit. Just test all the wonderful essential oil blends. It will set you in a good mood. Unfortunately, it was too embarrassing to spend all day testing, chatting, asking all the questions possibly . I had a good time and did some shopping. Wish nara heltnaturligt had a free standing shop.......
Sunspel- A cute shop for all the right basic products in the perfect hues...blue, white, sand and grey.
Hostem - Avantgarde menswear. Great wooden interior.
Labour and wait - A small, just perfect hardware, clothing and home store.
Caravan - A Vintage style of new products. It was really sweet.
Denham - A good denim collection. Kind of looking Japanese by a Dutch company. I understand there is some connection with 45RPM. The store design is really nice.
And there is many more places to see and visit for coffee and good food.
The area hosts many Art galleries, Graphic designers, Marketing companies and other creative minds.
I will come back with more on London. Sorry for being slow about it this last week. Traveling up-set's your daily habits,
Gunn
