After browsing the web trying to find some independent shops in London, I came across a site that really deserves a mention. Independent London is a unique shopping guide book showcasing some of London’s most interesting and imaginative independent shops. As soon as I saw the site it was a no brainer that welovelocal needed to purchase the book. When it arrived in all its small but perfectly formed glory it exceeded expectations.

Every page is filled with amazing photos that capture such vibrancy and even better descriptions of what each of the shops; sell, look like, smell like and taste like (the food that is). It is also incredibly helpful as it provides maps and specific addresses for each of the shops mentioned. This book really whets your appetite for some of the great and often overlooked independent gems in London.

Independent London is also partnered with Wedge card and the great thing is most of the shops listed in the book offer Wedge discount promotions (great news for all you wedge card owners). You get a real sense of local community from the book, it really inspires you to get out and investigate the local London that is around you. So get the book, get shopping and most importantly get reviewing!
