What better way to kick off than with Rita Konig! I've had this 'London’s Best-Kept Decorating Secrets’ bookmarked for some time. Konig takes The Wall Street Journal to her favorite shopping destinations for all things decor. Here’s a recap.
1. Core One market on the New Kings Road
2. Guinevere Antiques in Chelsea
3. The French House in Parsons Green
4. Christopher Howe and Rose Uniacke on Pimlico Road (while you're there, grab lunch at The Orange)
5. Church Street near Marylebone - Alfie’s Antique Shop, Andrew Nebbett.
6. The Cloth Shop on Portobello Road - while you're here, cruise south on Portobello checking out the infamous street vendors and antiques shops. Portobello Road deserves a post by itself, stay tuned!
7. Few and Far (image above) on Brompton Road - just around the corner is a lovely kitchen store called Divertimenti.
8. Robert Kime and Abbott and Holder on Museum Street
9. Decorative Antiques and Textiles Fair - Going on now!
10. Pippa Small on Colville Mews - near Portobello so tie in to one visit.
See the article in it's entirety here. Rita writes regularly for The Wall Street Journal's Living Well column, lots of advice on decorating, entertaining and shopping. Happy reading!
