Paperchase

Really Like it, pretty stuff. Wide range of stationary, photo frames, albums, pens, pencils, diarys, notebooks and folders. Can be quite pricey but good quality stuff. Sell really pretty birthday things too!

This is the biggest shop i have ever been in. Loads of everthing great and fabulous. Hundreds of diufferent types of paper a stationary fans dream and pens, pens for ever. Fab!!

Ok, I have a confession to make - cute stationary makes me dribble with happiness. Put a monkey or a wonky monster on a notebook, and you're going to have to drag me kicking and screaming out of the door to stop me buying it. I also collect cute and wacky postcards (again, preferably involving monkeys or wonky monsters... pandas at a pinch).

For all these reasons, I love Paperchase. This one is three whole floors of stationary heaven - one of cutesy gifts and cards, the other two of arts and crafts and more serious household items (but that's not really my area).

However, letting my rational mind defeat my monkey-loving soul for a moment, I can see that the popular stationary ranges here are overpriced and childish, and this isn't a place for basic, practical stationary needs (for those, I would recommend the London Design Centre in Covent Garden).

I still love it though (the image of a child in a sweet shop comes to mind...)
