London: Tea Time in Wonderland

Some shops just turn back the clock. You step in and you feel like a child again.

Hope & Greenwood is one of those. What a magical atmosphere with those colourful glass jars filled with British delicacies. Sugar mice, rhubarb and custards, strawberry bonbons, London rocks, lemon sherbets: you name it. You feel in the 50ies, such a cute retro decoration, and you can even buy vintage finds or paper garlands… Well done, Niss Hope and Mr Greenwood: a real firework!

I just can’t resist their packaging, looks just out of a children book. Pretty ribbons, sometimes a badge for the final touch, a rainbow feeling to it. The perfect place for souvenirs if your friends have a sweet tooth.

Chocolate too, of course! From the verry classical to delicously mad!

A warm welcome. You can spend an hour in there and forget about Covent Garden nearby. Parents, kids and dentists are sure to be seduced.

Pssst: It’s Halloween soon! Check out their trick and treats!

Pssst (2): H&G are editing a recipe book, out on October 01st: Life is sweet!
