This is the place to go for jewelry making and embroidering. Those two hobbies take up the majority of the front and back room of the building. There are some other things like polymer clay(but probably for bead making purposes), fabric dye, bolts of fabric, sewing accessories, but not too much of a selection of any of those. But if you suddenly got into embroidering hardcore, then this is it my friends. Look no further. Broiders Rule!!!

Oh dear. I appear to have fallen in love all over again. I may be fickle, but there’s no doubting that this one’s a keeper. The London Bead Company’s humble little shop front belies a colossal inventory that lies beyond. I can’t imagine needing to go anywhere else when you have practically every type of Italian, Czech, silver and seed bead in the world on it’s books. Never mind the whole section of the shop devoted solely to Swarovski crystals. The real clincher though, is that this place is also a haven for the keen sewer and embroiderer alike; step into the tardis-like back room and there are several hundred varieties of ribbons, silks, buttons, fabrics, yarns and more. A one stop shop for the crafter if ever I’ve seen one.

If you love making jewelery like I do you will love this place. It’s a craft persons heaven. The staff are incredibly helpful and know their stuff. If they don’t know the answer straight away they’ll go to great lengths to find out what it is you need. There’s no I don’t know and don’t care attitude or omg don’t you know? looks either. Great place beginners and advanced, everyone welcome. For the space they have, they use it well. However, in some areas especially beading I think their ranges could be more diverse. Overall 8.5 out of 10.
