We are a design shop and café bar selling products from emerging designers alongside vintage furniture and home wares. Everything is for sale: from designer crafts, vintage tea sets, 1950's dressers and unusual tables and chairs, to hand-made cakes, ice creams, specialty teas, kitsch finger sandwiches, bottled beers and cocktails. We're open for lunch, afternoon tea, cocktail o'clock and different things to 'Do' like 'Play with Clay 80's Style' and 'Dot to Dot to Disco'. These are mostly free and require no skills whatsoever—check the DO tab so see what’s on. We're tucked away just 2 minutes from King's Cross station in an old Victorian bathhouse.

All In London Review
One of the most original venues in London
Spread across two floors and combining a café, bar, shop and basement club, DSD (Drink, Shop & Do) is a little bit of everything. But where this might end up feeling like things are spread a little thin, not so in the Kings Cross venue. Come on a Friday or Saturday night and you can expect to find the basement rocking – and there’s nothing surprising about that. However, turn up on a lean Tuesday night in February and you’re just as likely to find the place rammed thanks to its innovative events diary. From quizzing to Beyonce dance classes, Lego robot building to vintage hair, make-up and papier mache monster design to knitting workshops, there isn’t a lot in the way of far out entertainment that DSD haven’t thought of hosting. (Our personal favourite is "Lionel Richtea" - where you get to ice an image of the crooner's face onto a biccy.) When drinking cocktails, craft beers and fine coffee isn’t enough, the ‘do’ aspect is the perfect accompaniment for jaded Londoners who want something a little different.
We don’t need to tell you that this is one of the best places in London to take a date – or anyone else for that matter. DSD fans are unashamedly obsessed with the place and having only been twice we can kind of see why.

Look beyond the shop and the goodies that fill it up and make your way to the seating section where you’ll be served cocktails to your hearts content – having offered up payment first, of course. It may not be a speakeasy in anything like the true sense, but its fun and whoever thought of putting a bar in the middle of a shop?
