This week has been Chocolate week 2007 and believe me chocolate related things just keep popping up everywhere. It all started with the comeback of the Cadbury Wispa. The welovelocal team has been going mad for the Wispa this week, this obsession has resulted in many afternoon trips to the shop for bulk Wispa purchasing.

There have been lots of exciting  things going on across London all week, and the events are set to continue into the weekend. The Ultimate London Chocolate Tour takes place on Saturday and kicks off in Islington. Sunday offers Divine chocolate tasting and cocktails at the Sanderson Hotel. To see the full listing of events that are taking place have a look here. There has been a really great mix of involvement this year from both independent and larger businesses. One independent business that is really making the headlines and stealing the show is our local Chocolatier Paul A Young. Paul has recently opened a new store in Threadneedle Street to accompany his delightful Camden Passage shop - and it’s making quite a stir. It has landed local boy Paul the award for the ‘Best New Chocolate Shop’ - well done Paul!

If any of you have been lucky enough to sample some of what Chocolate Week 2007 has offered in London it would be great to get some reviews. We are always on the look out for great new chocolate shops!
