Choosing Keeping has a collection of rare, beautiful European, American and Japanese stationery. A stationery haven. 

THE place for birthday presents and bookcases (mine was 50p).

One of those rarely found shops that inspires one to craft and creativity. A huge selection of high quality papers to print and draw on, to cut, fold, glue or just wrap presents with.

As a keen runner, running through Greenwich Park and on to the river side I see the Thames Barrier, which is not only the worlds second-largest movable flood barrier (after the Oosterscheldekering in the Netherlands) but is also an iconic site on what is fast becoming a recognised stretch for developers including the 02 and Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication.

Fantastic place with great food and natural wine. Lovely energy and ideal with a group of friends or cozy with 2.
