 You wont find this in
poundstetcher by sourbugger
Hardly very festive, I must say.
The shop itself contains furnishings, prints , lamps etc. from mainly British, Scandanavian and Italian sources.
When I asked about the lamps, I was politely informed "Well they begin at about 400 pounds and go up to about 1500". OK then, I'll spend my money in B & Q.
UPDATE JAN 06: the Drury lane store seems to have closed, but the website is up and running. If they get a new gallery, then i'll update again
If your the sort of person that thinks £90 for a cushion is reasonable - go ahead.
They also may still have a concession in Selfidges Department store. Leave a Comment

 Habitat by Kap2
It revolutionised British design, years before IKEA....
Conran retired from Habitat in 1990...
Furniture and household items, something for the kitchen?

I have added this retail outlet onto my London page, even though it is more an 'off the beaten track' tip! It is a lovely store, and well worth the trip to Kingston-upon-Thames!
An exquisite interior shop!
They generally have lines that are slightly different to mainstream decor, more rustic and individual in taste.
They sell furniture for:
The home office
Childrens bedroom
Living room
Dining area
etc.
In the photo you can see something we bought here a while ago.
Ethnic and rustic in flavour, this suits our interior perfectly. They are squash balls, dried out and painted.
Expensive!!! Hence us never buying anything but some accessories... but if we could afford it, we would buy furniture from here. Leave a Comment

 Heal's by Kap2
...see the web connection to the V&A Museum to read more of the store that started in 1810 and had its heyday in the 1920s...
...it still cuts a dash today.
As a tourist, unless you're very rich or plan to settle in the UK, you're unlikely to want to buy anything major... the kitchenware department may have something or the lighting department...
A lot or a little... its not the cheapest shop but you have to pay for quality... Leave a Comment Theme: Home FurnishingPhone: 020 7636 1666Directions: Goodge Street London Underground Station on Northern LineWebsite: http://www.heals.co.uk/ Other Contact: http://www.vam.ac.uk/vastatic/mi

This shop is one of the larger units in Camden market and is a vertitable alladin's cave of all things Indonesian.
From furnishings to trinkits and gifts a good percentage of the output of Ubud in Bali and other Indonesian craft town must be represented here.
Quite visually stunning to look at prices are fairly reasonable - until you actually go to Indonesia that is.
Always open at weekends, and 'sometimes' wednesday to Friday. Leave a Comment Theme: Home FurnishingPhone: 0207 4823595Directions: Far end of Camden Lock market

Now it's possible to shop Finnish interior desing in London. You could find f.ex. products of Aalto and Marimekko.
The shop is located in 138 St John St (Clerkenwell). The nearest subwaystation is Farringdon. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

The Dalai Lama says everyone should spend atleast five minutes alone everyday. Fulfil your quota at the cafe in Borders bookshop- a cappucino and a good book are the only props required. Also check out CVO Firevault-Is it a fireplace showroom, a fashion boutique or a cafe?? This place mus be having a identity crisis, but it makes a very relaxed shopping experience. If you like what u see, the fireplaces are for sale, which means u dont need to buy them but can create the smae cozy atmosphere in the comfort of your own home.
NOTHING
NOTHING AGAIN!!!! Leave a Comment Theme: Home FurnishingPhone: 02075805333Directions: CVO FIREVAULT-GREAT TICHFIELD STREET, W1Website: www.cvofirevault.co.uk

Candlemakers shop, Hackney,
london, UK. by planxty
Do not be put off by the building, which looks like a rather grubby garden shed in the carpark of Agios Iannis Theologoi (excuse my transliteration, it is the greek Orthodox Church of St. John the Theologian). You can just see the shop in the background of the photo. Given it's location, it is probably no surprise that the majority of the candles are votive, although they do have an excellent selection of non-religious ones as well.
I am no expert but the stock seems to be competitively priced.
What to buy? Candles obviously. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherPhone: +00 44 (0)2078 986 2240Directions: Bus routes 106. 254. 55 all pass by the door. It is about a 20 minute walk from Bethnal Green Tube.Other Contact: +00 44 (0)208 086 6356 (fax)

 Perfect Pots! by RowanGBR
The selection is wonderful, you can find the perfect home for a plant of almost any size or shape. As well as pots for your plants there are sun dials, wall decorations, fountains, and any garden decoration you can imagine. All in terracotta, either varnished or natural.
The store isn't open every day, but it is definitely open on sunday. This is the best day to go, when the Columbia Street Flower Market is also open. You can wander the flower market, stop for a cup of coffee, a dish of pickled herrings (I managed to resist them, if that is what they really were!) and then visit the pot shop.

 Junk shop, Lewisham by Spincat
That junk shop in an old railway station building, just past the strange pink and yellow 'Hansel and Gretal' house.
The shop with the pink cadillac on the roof, Marilyn with her shirt blowing up over her head and a lifesize Chef out front.
The shop with a glittering room of chandeliers and 1930s glass lampshades and mirrors.
The towering rows of iron beds, doorways and mantlepeices from Victorian houses. Everything from a cheap mattress to a C19th oil painting. Rockinghorses, bow fronted cabinets, cherubs, swagger statues, doorknobs.
Out back there is a whole yard of slates and bricks and 1930s shop or train signs along with well priced garden furniture. Leave a Comment Theme: Antiques
