Other great shops on Lamb’s Conduit Street and in the Brunswick Centre
Chocolat Chocolat (Brunswick Centre, WC1) will make you up a fish-and-chips-style cone full of solid Bayonne milk, dark or white chocolate with lashings of hazelnuts or almonds. Dawson Flowers (43 Lamb’s Conduit St, WC1) is the safe late bet with its gorgeous bouquets and plants, while at traditional gentlemen’s outfitters Connock & Lockie (33 Lamb’s Conduit St, WC1), you’ll find something for a discerning man.

Still can’t find what you’re looking for?
The wonderful secondhand and specialist bookshops of Bloomsbury are only a few roads away, such as Atlantis (49a Museum St, WC1), Judd (82 Marchmont St, WC1) and Bookmarks (1 Bloomsbury St, WC1).
