Earl Grey and Rose
On her blog creativesalvage.com Juliet Bawden describes a great new tea shop and craft emporium in South London
Living as I do within in half a mile of, what has been described as Britain’s worst road, Streatham High Road, I was very pleased to discover today it is changing its image and in common parlance is ‘coming up’! On one of the roads off the notorious High Road is Streatham Parade, home to The South London Press. On this rather unfortunate piece of London Sprawl a new tea cake and craft emporium has opened up. It embodies all the things I love most, food, crafts, a place to have a cuppa and nostalgia. It is the brain child of Lydia Wood-Power and her husband. I took my daughter there for a Saturday treat of a cup of Earl Grey and something yummy to eat. The place was bustling and friendly with lots of interesting things to look at including magazines and books to read, crafts to purchase. There were posters on the walls of some of the courses that Lydia runs. These include jewellery, knitting and sewing.
