Souvenirs of east London #2


I keep finding great souvenirs for you!







The iconic Tower Bridge (smaller version) from the Lego Store at Westfield Stratford City.












Cufflinks from the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, will keep one timely and directed.









Outfit from Puja Silk, a saree store on Green Street with straightforward and helpful service.













Hoxton Gin was created at the famous cocktail bar the Hoxton Pony and is available at Waitrose.







Hackney & Shoreditch Cushion by Barbara Coupe from The Orange Tree, in Wanstead. Also  stock ultra-rare "I (Heart) Wanstead" canvas bags.











Mysteriously, my kid would mutter "chicken licken" during every tantrum, kicking.  I made the cockney rhyme connection when this book came home from nursery.  Buy from an east London independent book store (Victoria Park BooksNewham Bookshop, Foyles ; check stock first). Also, "Conkers Bonkers", if you can track down that one.
