London Shops

[datainadequate]

So, I find myself in London, and unexpectedly free on Sunday afternoon. As far as I can tell, neither branch of Penfriend will be open. Are there any other pen emporia a) worth visiting, and b) open on Sunday? Or should I just find a comfy coffee shop and read a book?

Cheers,

John

You could maybe have a wander around Harrods pen department. Maybe Selfridges has some? I'm not sure.

Selfridges is not bad at all - Gaber Castell, GvGC, Waterman are very well represented, and IIRC a few Italian brands. Probably very little you can't get elsewhere, but friendly and helpful and lots of ink, notebooks etc.

Plus, Selfridges salt beef sarnies. Legendary.

Even I have heard of those.

Thanks all. Further change of plans ruled out Selfridges, but that's a useful idea for the next time I have some spare time in London. Possibly in two weeks time!

Made it to Penfriend today. So many beautiful pens, so little cash... <deep sigh>

So I bought some ink. Can't have too much ink, right?

True.

So I keep telling myself. Mind you, I used to say that about chisels, and that got a bit out of hand...

Looking at your profile we agree on North by North West being a great film.

And my, what a lot of chisels!

ETA: an excellent kerb stone too.

So I could triple my ink collection and still claim it hasn't got out of hand? Yay!

I suggest finding pictures of someone who has a larger collection than you do, and you can claim just about anything...
