London Shopping

I have a day off work tomorrow...can't wait. I’m off to London for the day, catching an early train so that I have plenty of time to shop! First stop will be Marylebone Village. It is one of my favourite shopping areas of London and has lots of gorgeous shops like Cath Kidston,

Cotton and Cologne, The White Company, Whistles, Neal’s Yard, Agnés b all in one area so it is a nice easy place to shop in that isn’t too busy!

There's also this interesting shop called WW Rouleaux. It is the largest retailer and wholesaler of ribbons and trimmings in Europe. If you cant find the ribbon or trim you want here then it doesnt exist!!
Then I will head over to Piccadilly for lunch at the 5th View Bar which has good views over London and then to Fortnum and Mason to buy some nice foodie Christmas goodies!

Fortnum's food halls.


That's the plan anyway! I always try and have a set plan of where I want to shop when I go to London but usually end up getting diverted by other interesting things along the way. I will report back at the weekend with photos and buys!
Hope you all have a stress free and happy weekend.
Susie

  9. OMG!Susie! Shopping in London, what an absolute dream. You are torturing me with those pictures of fabric and ribbon. I am officially addicted to those 2 delicious things. Move over chocolate and wine. Well a girl can have it all cant she?

  11. Hi Susie, I think I was visiting Bellaboo and decided to expand my horizons by checking her blog list...just found your blog and love it! How nice that you have such wonderful shops to visit in London! I am off this morning to see what a quilt shop has that is about 30 minutes away...if they have goodies, I'll post them sometime. Enjoy your day of shopping!

    God bless,
    Mary

  12. Oooh, I'm so pleased to have found your blog (via Curious Cat) - it's so pretty and I love your writing! Your garden is so beautiful!

    Hope you had a great time in London and at the Fair. Being a London dweller, I sometimes don't think I make the most of all that is to enjoy about city life!

    Love the snow too...it's great!

  14. Oh Susie, I was hoping that you would bring your camera when you go! Can you tell me in your next post how far away London is from your home? Marylebone Village sounds so quaint! Have fun on your shopping trip, and make sure you buy yourself something from CK!
