stop the car!

I just had to pull over on Old Street to lift this wee fella off the windscreen and deposit him into the grounds of the London Symphony Orchestra's rehearsal rooms. His free ride east stopped short, but It must be a much safer place to go than hopping off outside our house and taking his chances on Hackney Road.

Bicycles

Today is the day the new city bicycle hire scheme is launched, a handy rack of them on Shoreditch High Street ready for action.

Brilliant combo of brown & orange on the fantastically useful East London Line trains.

Russian Dolls

We have been selling these 'naked' russian dolls since we opened in 2001.
They are still as popular as ever.
If anyone has decorated theirs, it'd be just brilliant to get photos!
Anyone??
