  • I love this sort of survey as a great way to track down the fab local London independent retailers that help make London such an unique and exciting place. But I do agree with Ms Eliza below, shame no category for the little people in London. And yes, Olive Loves Alfie in Stoke Newington Church street is a Poppins' suitcase of childish delights - my favorite.
