Best For
London's finest furniture stores
Every home needs a bit of furniture (otherwise it's just, like, a box)
An independent in the heart of Angel, Folklore is something of a concept shop. The furniture here comes from small individual suppliers and artisans, which means you’re always likely to find something out of the ordinary. There is a particular focus on wooden kitchen chairs.
The best eco friendly shops in London
It's not all hemp and recycled sandals
If you're looking for unique homeware and furniture the ethical shop Folklore in Islington is a good place to start. Their tables, chairs and light fittings may not be the cheapest around, but they're built to last, helping to reduce waste. Items are from small producers or individual designers rather than being mass-produced, and each year they donate 10% of their profits to charity.
