The Tower of Babel – Shop of the Day 96Back to my top 10 now and I know it is only Monday – hardly Take Away night but this is without doubt the best curry I have eaten. Any other TiffinTin lovers out there I am sure you will agree, beats every other delivery hands down. There are 3 in London I think. Have a look if you live near one try it. Actually is Monday to early in the week for...
The Tower of Babel – Shop of the Day No. 79Ahhh who doesn’t love succulent, carved while you wait, door step slices of salt beef in a fresh beigel with lashings of mustard. 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. What’s not to love, the name, the font, the old phone number, the juxtaposition of the whole shop. I would have loved to have seen this brand new.
The Tower of Babel – Shop of the Day 125One of my all time favourites. Kennington. Looks like it’s been there forever. Apparently they used to straighten out Bob Marley’s dreads after he’d been playing football in Kennington Park
The Tower of Babel – Shop of the Day 130It’s Sunday and continuing the Sunday theme, we find ourselves in New Cross and the One Stop Christian Resource Centre! Brilliant I do hate to shop around.
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...
