The best stationery stores in the UK

What did you think of the routes through Asia? We loved every corner we visited together. 💖

We are very sad to say goodbye to all the beauties that the East has left us. But don't panic, the route through stationery stores around the world does not stop.

How about we start with Europe, the United Kingdom?

CHOOSING KEEPING

Entering this store is like entering a time capsule, you will really feel the essence and it seems like time has frozen.

They have a selection of stationery from all kinds of international brands, but the most interesting thing is their own collections of papers, boxes and handmade notebooks with prints in a very Victorian style.

ATTENTION: They close very early. In case you didn't know... In the UK they go to the tune of the sun and we already know how scarce it is there.

STUART R. STEVENSON

An old-school stationery store. Just by looking at the window you can get an idea of what we are talking about... You feel all the history and philosophy behind it.

There we will find all kinds of art materials on the wooden shelves. But we will also be able to see pens, wax, paint and even threads...
The whole store has an essence in its atmosphere, a characteristic smell of old stationery that gives a lot of peace and comfort.

ATTENTION: Yes, this one also has reduced hours...

LONDON GRAPHIC CENTRE

Turning the corner after leaving Choosing Keeping you will find this building. You will not be able to miss such a beautiful decorated facade.

Unlike the "vintage" and calm style of Choosing Keeping, this place is much more modern and direct.

It is a super complete place, where we can find all kinds of art and stationery materials from around the world.

PRESENT & CORRECT

A true icon of English stationery. This little stationery shop is a gem to visit and above all... Open all your senses, because it is an ASMR experience.
Everything is well placed and combined with each other to be as visually pleasing as possible.
It is a paradise for designers and photographers, as every little corner is a "spot".

We can find a very interesting collection of rubber bands and clips, as well as a selection of very tasteful stationery.

ATTENTION: Reduced hours

PAPERSMITHS

You can find 2 stores in London...

But we are going to go to the one on Pavilion Rd because it is the biggest and prettiest.
The interior is beautiful, you will fall in love with its earth orange painted walls combined with the original denim walls.

Their style could be defined as a mix of modern and industrial. They have a good collection of notebooks, pens and greeting cards.
Oh! If you like to keep up with the latest trends, you can also buy design and current affairs magazines.

If you happen to be in Brighton, you can also find a shop there with a different style. More in keeping with Brighton's coastal aesthetic, it's well worth seeing the differences.

It is worth mentioning that many stationery stores have closed after COVID, it is a shame and more than ever we have to remember and appreciate the small specialized stores that dedicate their passion to sharing it with others.

Remember that...
