LONDON LOVES
first of all, all the cab drivers in london are like sweet grandpas that make you feel real welcome. i had about 8 cab rides and each one was more lovely than the last. in this cab ride we were headed to Liberty! a GIANT store filled with gifts, furniture, stationary, prints…you could seriously get lost in there. in a good way.
liberty had a full room of cards (it was cool to see rifle paper co. over in london!) and I wanted to bring one of those neon signs with me so badly!
walking along columbia road was one of my favorite parts of london. sensory overload. and how cool that you get those striped bags when you buy something at most stores?
interesting wall decals & fonts found over at supernice!
lots of store window love!!
you better believe there was a lot of wine cheese bread stops for us. and how about that little change dish? i definitely feel inclined to leave a tip in that.
one of my favorite things to do when I travel abroad is to stop in the magazine stores. i always leave incredibly inspired.
and food peeps, we ate at pizza east and had the most delicious feast! go there! super hip place.
LONDON, WE SHALL MEET AGAIN! -bri

I’m so glad i’m not the only one that takes pictures of liberty! So much so that i got a stern, British warning about not taking any more!

This looks like a wonderful trip! You saw so many cool things. I have to agree, I love the cab drivers in London. When I went, it was the first time I had ever taken a cab (small town girl that I am) and the man was so nice!

Looks like a ton of design inspiration! Would love to visit all those same places.

I live just 1hrs train ride from central London, and I hardly ever go – sometimes it takes a fresh pair of eyes to remind you of the great stuff on your doorstep! Thanks for the inspiring post.
