SCP
135-137 Curtain Road EC2A 3BX
Interior Design & Decoration
Opening Times
SCP is all about longevity whether it’s style or build. Its range of furniture is stylish and contemporary, which is much the same as its other ranges. Textiles, lighting, wrapping paper, bedroom accessories and gifts make this one of those shops that’s hard to leave.
Selling a combination of functional and desirable products for the home, Labour and Wait is one of London’s most iconic shops. Located on Redchurch Street, its timeless products include brooms, brushes, enamel soap dishes, handkerchiefs and espresso makers, each of them ultra desirable.
An array of exclusive homeware is available at Pedlars. One visit to the Notting Hill shop and you’ll be a fan. From the height of luxury to the pointless and the disposable, its mixture of products makes it a classic. Vintage American popcorn holders, salvaged ship’s cabin lights, leather hold alls and stylish wooly blankets – they’ve got everything you’ll ever need to make that house a home.
Focused on design, Lollipop Shoppe does a brisk trade in lighting, kitchenware and furniture. Whether it’s a new reading chair, a contemporary spotlight or a Comme Des Garcons wallet you want, they’ll be able to provide it.
If you ever need a wedding gift list attached to a shop then look no further than Summerill and Bishop. Tableware, serveware, kitchenware, drinkware; it does all the wares better than pretty much anyWHERE else. Think classic Provence style that will look good in any home.

We all want our homes to have an individual look and it is shops like Abode who help us get just that. By stocking screen-printed cushions, unusual crockery and ceramic dog lampshades the Chiswick design store is our independent, homeware buddy.
Often, when you’re on the look out for classy designer wares and soft furnishings you get hungry and thirsty. Pitfield clearly knew that and came along with its beautiful space on – you guessed it – Pitfield Street. The store is one half deli/coffeeshop, one half homeware shop, which makes it one whole awesome.
Have you ever wanted to spice up your home with a little Parisian chic? Well look no further than Little Paris for some hints on how to do it. Its range of ornaments, scarves, mirrors, crockery and film posters will put the je ne sais quoi in any home.
