Another nice little blog along the lines of Londonshopfronts.com this one isn’t solely devoted to shop fronts though and features all sorts of photos of interesting sites from around London.

The style of the photography on the site is very much observational and documentary and often features pictures of people …

A while ago we wrote a review of one of London’s top shopping gems, a little shop called Cyber Candy, which seemed to go down pretty well. So we contacted Cyber Candy and recently met up with Margaret, one of the two founders:
So how did Cyber Candy get started, and where did you come up with the idea?
Well, it all started when my husband Alan was trying to buy some sweets that you couldn’t get in shops online anymore, and was really struggling to find somewhere to get them. He …

What’s not to like about this little gem? The London based Lazy Oaf is every adult child’s fantasy - born from a love of illustration, graphics and cartoons with a bit of east london thrown in the mix. I hounded press lady Jerry for some Londonerseye stylee ‘question time’……….
Hello Lazy Oaf - why the name?
Hiiiiii. The name represents the lo-fi, uncomplicated style of drawing featured in our designs. We also think there’s nothing better than partaking in a good bit of tea drinking, biscuit eating and sitting in front of …
