Really great art supplies shop, they have anything and everything you could want…read more Look out for their sales and special offers, they recently had 2 for 1 on tins of paint. They have a great stock of pencils, frames, paints, canvases, and art sets. They also have an amazing selection of fabric paints. A must visit if you're an artist, or just enjoy pretending to be Rolf Harris. Can you guess what it is yet?

I really love this art store. It's got everything you would need / want art wise…read more The whole shop is laid-out pretty well and the staff are really helpful and friendly. There are often deals instore and, I must say, there is a great selection of charcoals and pencils, which is what I always use anyways. I'd highly recommend this if you are at art school, an art buff or you just want to pick up a pencil and start drawing.

How someone can give this place less than four stars is beyond me. If u don't like the stuff you…read moresee here, it's obvious you went into the store with the wrong premise to begin with. This place is amazing - its Asian kawaii. And it is magical, and a little beyond most adults. But being the forever imbiber of childlike ideas, this place seriously is like I've died and went to heaven. Great selection of stickers, notebooks, and honestly some tasteful and simple schedulers that one can actually get away with using for the working world if you don't mind being teased a little. Is mostly filled with Korean characters as well as some famous ones like moonin and Sanrio. (no San-x I can recall). Plushies, housewares, clothing, posters, and just an all out, no shame, full throttle kawaii explosion. Kawaii is an art form. Don't poop on it if you just don't get it.

Although Artbox was adorable, I wouldn't say it's a close representation to what's available at a…read moreSanrio store in Japan and has a smaller selection than you'd expect. The items also felt slightly dated and tended to lean towards certain characters like cinnamoroll with very little selection of black hello kitty or my melody. I half expected that Artbox would have a similar check out process to Japan, in which you received a small hello kitty bag tag on your bag and was disappointed when there wasn't. All in all, the items I purchased were adorable but the selection is small so if you drop in I'd recommend keeping expectations low.

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.

This is probably one of the largest art store in London. It doesn't look great, it's a non…read morewelcoming basement that is a bit difficult to find but not impossible thanks to many signs. Prices are better than in some of the other shops: you can get a lot of deals, student discounts if you have the card to prove it. They have a large range of paper in big & smaller sizes, every type of paint (watercolor, oil, acrylic, handprint, screen print,...). Everything you need to work from pencils to large canvas, brushes to tools to sculpt or make book binding.

Did Ikea and Daiso have a baby and I just didn't know it?…read more OK, Ikea is Swedish, and Hema is Dutch, so it's not quite the same, and the prices aren't all $1.50... so maybe not. But do you get what I mean? This is a Dutch store where there's plenty of Hema-branded household goods that are reasonably priced. Think food, snacks, toiletries, bathroom supplies, school supplies, etc. I really like the concept and the presentation. I'd go nuts for a store like this in the States. This reminds me of the store Miniso in China. There's a ton of makeup and skin care here for some reason. I even got a Kabuki brush for about £8 or so. I also bought this SPF 10 face lotion for about £6 are so.

What a fun shop! If Tiger and Muji had a baby, it would be something like Hema…read more Hema is a Dutch import full of all sorts of neat stuff: stationery, kitchen goods, kids crafts, traditional toys, cosmetics, a small basic clothes selection, and snacks. A little bit of everything, and it's all quite cool.

Little background story to explain why I needed a stamp made in the first place:…read more I wanted to create an online account with a recruiting website, but they wouldn't recognise our company as legit unless we could provide them with a fax that had been stamped with a company stamp! "Are you serious?" I almost yelled at them, but then reconsidered and just decided to let it go and get a company stamp. This is when I discovered this little niche-store in Bloomsbury. The service was impeccable and also the making of the stamp was a breeze: I simply had to email them the design and I received a confirmation email within a few hours! The stamp was ready only 2 days afterwards....very good experience. (An image of the stamp that I received is uploaded to this business profile.)

After reading Uli B's review, I went in hoping to also have a stamp made. The requirements were…read morefairly straight forward, and handily printed up on a sheet of paper for folk to take with them. I drew out my image exactly the size I wanted the stamp image to be, measured both the drawing and the tag that I wanted the image to fit on, and sent the info and image as a pdf along to the stamp maker via email. He responded right away with a price which I then agreed to, and, in a couple of days, I went in to pick up the stamp. (They offer a delivery service, too.) I was very satisfied with the product, and so was the person receiving the stamp!

In my search for halloween costume creations, I decided to just bring out the big guns and find the largest crafty store possible, and this is what I came up with. It's a haul from central, but they had everything I was looking for (except for the size in one thing), but I got all my crafting done in one place and that was well worth the trip. My fellow yelper wasn't so lucky, as she seems to be looking for some items that just don't prevail anywhere in the UK, but if you need a crafting mecca, I suggest you pick up a crossword puzzle and take the tube ride out. It's just a short 5-10 min walk from the tube station too!
