An artist's & crafter's haven. This shop seems small at the entrance but contains pretty much…read moreanything painters and graphic artists would need at the back. They also stock beads, strings & paper. The staff is knowledgeable & helpful (I was given the low down on the quality of the watercolor pigments I wanted to buy). It was also bristling with brushes. The prices here range from expensive to cheap. The next time I go there, I plan to but a lino slab to carve up for a press. The only drawback in here is the low lighting but I can get behind that.

Internet purchase from this business. Polite staff offered a…read moregreat service and the price for a box of top quality branded coloured pencils would be hard if not impossible to beat given that express delivery service was FOC. Thoroughly recommended.

I have been going to this shop since I was a small child yet every time I go I still find something…read moreabout it that I love. It's a dinky little shop with a bell that rings when a customer arrives. It is one of the smallest shops in the city yet has so much stuff for sale. As the name suggests it sells little gifts, wrapping paper, cards and luxury stationary. It also has some more random things too like mugs, jewellery and joke-shop style gags. It sounds like a bit of a mix-mash of things but if you're in the area it's worth a trip to pick up some lovely cards and gift bags. It always smells like perfume or incense and the ladies working there are very sweet, all older women who are really helpful and pleasant. It's always on my list of places to go on the run up to Christmas and never has the festive queues or elbowing that you get in department stores this time of year.

From the owner: We specialise in niche and quailty greeting cards and gifts, including toiletries (Crabtree &…read moreEvelyn), Jewellery, Steiff Jellycat and Ty Plush, chinaware (Dunoon and others), glassware (LSA), candles (Yankee and others), partyware, assortment of giftwrapping, helium and latex baloons, books and stationary, children's toys and many other contemporary, conventional and quirky gifts.

Cass Arts is vibrant and clean. My family and I visited in April of 2018. Although lacking in the…read moreart supplies I was hoping to find - they did carry an array of painting supplies and different craft activities. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable and made our visit worthwhile.

This store came highly recommended for all things art. The store was crazy busy but still well…read moreorganized and neat. The staff were very attentive but the selection lacked selection in sketch books. They may have what you're looking for but it's way way down the bottom of the high street - for me it wasn't worth the walk.

A limited selection, but then it is a relatively small shop. I feel like they should specialise…read moremore, rather than have bits and bobs from so many different types of craft. A bit shocked that skeins of Anchor embroidery floss are as much as £1 each. That said, the staff are always very friendly, and the shop is easy to navigate.

A lot of my artist friends who live in South London complain about having to travel all the way to…read moreCentral to replenish their art supplies. I don't paint, I can barely draw stick figures, but I can feel their pain. Having to make a journey to get canvas every time you run out must get super annoying every now and then. Unik Arts & Crafts puts an end to that problem as it is one of South London's best local art supply specialists. You can find brushes, paint, yarn, glitter, presentation boards, markers, pencils, basically anything you need to make your next masterpiece for decent prices. They don't have an incredible amount of stock, but they'll cover the basics. If you're not too picky about the brands of the supplies you get and you just need to replace some item quickly then stop by this place, I'm sure they'll have what you need.

I really like new pens. Of course no one needs pens anymore so I just buy them to open things that…read morecome in those impenetrable plastic cases - biros have really strong nibs. Anyway, this place does a lot of them. They also sell cards and paints, all sorts of art supplies and there are services too, photocopying, laminating and the like. They do plenty of kid friendly colouring-in sets, books and cards as well. So, basically they've got the farty bit of arty covered. (Not saying your kids are farty obv.) Good place and the staff there are always pretty eager to help - all in all, well stoked and well looked after.

Oh how I love an arts supplies shop. Always so much glitter, ribbon and fun-coloured scissors. I…read morealways go in for a pencil sharpener or such object and leave, £50 down but bags of arts-and-crafts goodies to play with when I get home. And no, I don't have a child. London Art, currently decorated with the sweetest Christmas display that does involve those old paper-link chain things you made in primary school, has more cool bits and pieces that you can imagine. Papers, glues, calligraphy pens, pencils...you name it, they've got it. Heaven.
