Funny company names in London

17 July 2009 No Comment Read other posts by luke

London is home to some amusingly named shops so I thought I would put together a little list of some of my favourites it seems that fish and chip shops are pretty up on the pun filled business names!

Curl Up and Dye

First up is Curl Up and Dye, a hairdresser on Picardy Street. There’s loads of funny hairdressers in London that cater for pretty much every style and price range.

Snog

Snog is a really cool frozen yoghurt shop, which is slap bang in the middle of Soho. It’s bright pink and full of frozen goodness snacks which are marginally more healthy than ice cream.

Fishcoteque

A highly regarded fish and chip shop offering top quality fish suppers in the capital. Still they don’t compare to local chippies up North!

Rock and Sole Plaice

Tucked away in Covent Garden this take-away chippy or sit in restaurant is a good stop off after some shopping around central London. Prices are quite reasonable and they do good chip butties too.
