Chuck Clinton's, buy bureau

As expected
Even though Bureau is essential a stationery shop, I visit Bureau for greeting cards.
If you like me and you hate Clinton's because often you see on the mantelpiece of your loved one, a couple of the same cards from Clintons - and you think why did I bother spending the time picking the card, banging shoulders with the lady with all the bags choosing the right verse. Also Clinton's is annoyingly expensive for essential a thick piece of paper with pictures on it.
Bureau on the other hand have a fine selection of unique, witty and beautiful cards at ok prices. And you are never fighting for space to pick the right one for the birthday girl, happy couple or promoted colleague.
And of course for a stationers, Bureau has a vast selection of stationery bits and bobs plus a fine selection of fountain pens, photo frames or wrapping paper.
Although they never have any ribbon - I'd like there to be ribbon.

That's damn fine stationery (not stationary)

As expected
Now to some people stationery is just the stuff you doodle on at the office or lugged around in your school bag. But to others (myself included) a good pad of fine quality (preferably squared and ideally French) paper and a beautiful ink pen to write on it with are transporting delights.
If you fall into the latter category, or just want somewhere with a really good selection of pens, paper, wrapping stuff, cards, desk accessories, bags, and other desk-related things to choose from then this cool little shop is for you.
It is located in that short cross street between Leicester Square and Long Acre, Covent Garden, right by The Photographers' Gallery, down at the bottom of Charing Cross Road where it meets St Martin's Lane. Been there years, hope it never folds (do you see what I did there? stationery, folds...)
