Actually is Monday to early in the week for...

This place has certainly helped me out many a time at all times of day and night. An absolute East London institution that thrives from previous waves of immigration into the capital. It claims to be the oldest in...
The Tower of Babel – Shop of the Day no.21A dear friend is staying with us at the moment, first time in London. I told him he should go to Brixton today. have a look at the market wander around – look up! (as you must always do when wandering around town) So here is the Reliance Arcade, one of my favourite facades in the whole Tower. One of my best shops inside the arcade is the Holy...
The Tower of Babel – Shop of the Day 93This one has got to be in my top 10, in my opinion the only place to get your threaded requirements in London. Super helpful, old school hardware store that always always always has what you need no matter what sort of bolt, nut, screw, fixing you need! I know it’s niche but I do love a specialist!
The Tower of Babel – Shop of the Day No. 80Something fresh for the weekend! It may not be the history or the popularity of a place that catches my eye. It may be purely for the way it looks.

The Tower of Babel – Shop of the Day 138For this week’s #shopoftheday I will mainly be visiting London’s Record Shops! Starting West and this independent record shop based in Ladbroke Grove, operating since 1974. The shop is owned and run by Mark Ainley and Alan Scholefield, who took over from one of the original proprietors, “Honest” Jon Clare. Their record label of the same name is...
The Tower of Babel – Shop of the Day 135Last homage to the TDF today, I leave you with this beauty; a classic Local Bike Shop on Peckham High St, SE15. Established in or around 1870, Wilson’s Cycles is Peckham’s oldest business!
The Tower of Babel – Shop of the Day 105I went to this wonderful shop in Peckham yesterday to interview the very passionate and articulate shop owner, Sally Butcher. It was great to spend some time understanding what it means to be an independent shop owner in London now. It is a great shop Peckhamites get yourselves down there. It’s not just about the shop but the whole front, you can...
