Incredible building centred in the heart of London. Great for exhibitions, David Hockney is currently showing here.

One of the main sources of inspiration for my work are unusual objects, vintage toys and tools. A great place to find them is this genuine car boot sale, which is clear of 'bargain' toilet paper and questionable cosmetics. Another plus are the comparatively sociable opening hours. (it starts at noon… )

Stationery, homewares and a few clothes. All simple classics.

An Amazonian blend of plants and vines spill from it's interiors, complimenting the concrete architecture that surrounds it. A nod towards films such as Logan's Run, the conservatory forms an almost utopian sci-fi environment.

Best spot for breakfast, lunch and people watching on Regent's Canal in East London.
