Paperchase Tottenham Court Road

As a stationery (come on guys you have to spell it right) addict, I have to limit the number of Paperchase stores I enter for fear of finding another great note pad & hence forgetting where my important lists are (you know the pad with the hearts on, the pink hearts, when my poor OH holds up my array of pads trying to find the one I’ve ‘lost’)
So highlights of this store!
3 levels and a coffee shop
Offers craft classes
The hidden discount section, back corner of top floor
Personalisation of note pads etc
Friendly lovely staff
And it stocks the full range & more! Any craft items that you may need or never realised you d need you ll find it here.
Don’t forget to also get a treat me card, so many discounts such as 15% off emailed occasionally, discounts on personalising pads and money off craft classes too.

It’s not a proper trip to the UK without a stop at Paperchase. Usually several of them. This was the first time I specifically sought out this particular store. I usually stop in at the shops in Covent Garden and Paddington Station, but those are tiny compared to this one. It was worth going a little out of the way to visit this branch.
Lots of stuff to choose from. Things I definitely don’t need, but absolutely have to have. Now I have to find a way to fit everything into my luggage without going over the weight limits.
Special shout out to Tinderbox coffee shop on the 1^st floor. (Almost called it the 2^nd floor, silly American) Excellent coffee, pastries, and pre-​packed sandwiches to choose from.

It’s incredibly hard resisting the urge to go into Paperchase when I’m in central. It’s my favourite place, and now that I’ve discovered how awesome the coffee in Tinderbox is, it’s going to be harder to keep myself out.
Yes, Paperchase is a chain store. But it differs from the likes of Rymans and WHSmiths in that their ranges are unique, fun and also catering to an expansive range of tastes. There’s always something fun and quirky for smaller children (or young at heart adults), and at the same time there’s something sophisticated and mature. They change regularly too, which is nice, so you can always find something you like, or buy something as a gift for family or a friend. Their range of quality gift wrap and greetings cards is helpful too — you can get everything you need in the one shop without having to travel around.
BAGS:
I’ve had 3 bags from Paperchase so far — I’ve not had a problem with any of them. They’re roomy, and more robust than they look. I probably shouldn’t abuse them by lugging my laptop and loads of paperwork around in them, but they can easily withstand 6−8kg of load.
STATIONARY:
I have a growing sticker collection (it sort of just happened). Paperchase’s are high quality, stick well, and don’t fall off. They’re also super cute and at £1 to £1.50 a lot cheaper than the Korean imports I’ve bought.
Pens and pencils are reasonably priced. Jelly Rolls are only £2, which might sound pricey, but is a lot cheaper than prices I’ve seen elsewhere in the past (£3.75!).
Whilst not as sticky as the good ol’ post-​it note (which you can also buy here), Paperchase’s own range of sticky notes are fun, and do their job well.
Their personal diaries/​organisers are high quality, and their yearly refills are reasonably priced (and actually cover 18 months instead of 12). They’re equal in quality to Filofax organisers (which I now use) but with the bonus of being bright and colourful.
Paperchase’s notebooks and refill pads are all are good. The paper is high quality, and there’s a nice selection of lined or plain pages. Prices range, however, from pretty cheap (basic A4 refill pad) to pretty expensive for their designer notebooks (not counting Moleskins).
ART RESOURCES:
I don’t frequent the art section often, but I’ve grabbed a few things from there. Whilst a tad bit pricey, everything looks as if it’s quality. The small paintbrush set I bought was worth the investment; I’m awful at caring for brushes, but they’re surviving my beatings well. Art markers are reasonably prices (same as in other art shops), and their sketchbooks and scrapbooks are worth what you pay — pages are high quality, thick paper.

Oubliez complètement votre vision de la petite papeterie française… Ici on né rigole pas avec le papier et la déco.
Le magasin est énorme, sur plusieurs étages et très lumineux. Il y un très grand choix de carnets de tous les styles, des coques pour votre téléphone, des tasses, des centaines de cartes postales, invitations et petits mots d’amour. Mais aussi du papier à gogo, des petits accessoires à offrir, des stylos et j’en passé.
De quoi faire des cadeaux en quantités monstres avec de produits pour la maison, décorations de Noël, des rubans, paillettes, pochettes… Il y a même un café pour se reposer après une folle course poursuite dans les rayons.
Niveau prix ça va de 2£ à 100£ pour les plus gros objets (montres, lampes…) mais vous trouverez facilement un joli cadeau autour de 20£. Les collections qui sortent sont pour différents types de clients: ça va des tout petits avec des oursons et des renards, aux très grands avec de la dorure, des motifs de plantes et autre.
Bref, le paradis.

I love this place. I love the products and roaming each floor to admire the interior design. Even the café is great (though the woman server was a bit grumpy and didn’t speak English very well at all). Would probably come back again (maybe not to the café though… Hah!)

Paperchase. It’s a chain. It’s a huge store for said chain. Overall, it’s got a decent selection — though the size does actually imply it would be greater than what’s actually offered (they use a lot of floor space for movement, which is nice in a way as well).
Being late September and having half a story completely dedicated to a Christmas section = awful. I’m knocking points off for this. Because SEPTEMBER. It’s bad enough when Christmas stuff leaks into October. I’m a firm believer in keeping the Christmas season in the Christmas season, aka: Advent. That’s 6 weeks from late November — Christmas day. Perfectly time enough. Not set up when the calendar still says it’s summer.
Boo.

I. LOVE. This. Shop.
It is just so full of crafty, pretty, useful stuff… along with things I didn’t realise that I needed before I wandered around the three floors of paperchase joy!
— I popped in for a wedding guest book (more like a scrap book) and there was sooo much choice!
— Stickers! They stock all the stickers!
— They stock bows/​paper/​wrapping paper/​cards/​pretty pens/​glitter/​all the frivolous craft things you’d ever need.
— Upstairs they have pretty things for prezzies — pretty house phones, diaries, watches, pictures etc.
— I can buy just about any card or gift from here and my assistant at work will LOVE it. I think she’d live in here if she could.
Things can be a little pricey. But I still love it all.

Cute shop i stumbled upon, i could have easily spent my entire paycheck on adorable stationary and cards.
Perfect gift ideas, and cutesy things to treat yourself to…

Stationary heaven!
This is a huge Paperchase, and I want ALL OF THE THINGS!
If you love stationary, you will start drooling in this shop. If you don’t, then it’s probably not a shop you’ll be visiting anytime soon anyway.

This is equivalent to Papyrus in the US except there is a much larger selection of everything, including items for scrapbooks!
The cards are really cute, creative and well made! They are just perfect!
Everything is a tad bit overpriced for paper, but considering the quality, I think it’s worth it!

The best place for stationary which also includes affordable things like passport covers and make up and pencil bags, water bottles.
Everything is so cute here. I didn’t know they could do so much with paper.
I came here during the holiday season and found myself wanting to fill my suitcase with all kinds of baubles and paper cards.

I want to live in paperchase. It’s essentially a grown up toy store, with every kind of adorable post card you could ever imagine.

FURNITURE!!! Yes, you read that correctly.
So many things to see, on so many floors.
Everything better than the last thing you saw!
I hate to promote a bathroom, but you really need to visit the facilities and see the crazy blue lighting.

Need more Iphone case designs. but the quality is brilliant for a tenner. Hard-​flexi cases that are shock resistant. Not only that, they recently changed the packaging so its not those goddarned sealed plastic but ones you can take out so you can try before you buy.
Also, they have the most quirky amazing set of books and cards to do with fashion, design and crafts in there.
Pens and notebooks a bit pricy so save the money, go to rymans and get cheaper writing utensils there

Oh Frack this place is a dream!
Set amongst various large floors consisting of cards (cards and more cards!), pens, little gifts, wrapping paper, art supplies, kitchen accessories, frames, and more.
If you are anything like me and keep a supply of birthday/​wedding/​congrats cards on hand just in case you forget about someone… welcome to heaven.
There is a Sale area on the 3^rd floor, and I highly recommend you visit this before finalising your purchases. Who knows? You might find the perfect replacement at a fraction of the cost?

4 words: cards, cards, cards and coffee Nero !
This Paperchase is very well located, just near the Goodge Street Subway.
The shop is quite big, you can find all type of cards (funny, love, septical, friendship, special occasions…), and also some kitchen accessories, pencils and pens, and other paper stuff. I’ve spend like an hour just reading all the cards as I’ve found them funny like hell.
What’s not to be missed: like «Eileen N.» said just before me, the sale can go up to 70%, which is quite a nice deal.
Money money money: It quite difficult to say, you can find all sort of things in this shop it can go to 50p to £100, but count around £2.50-£3 for a nice card.
That little thing: If you’re tired of shopping for cards or other stuffs, just take a break and get a coffee at coffee Nero located on the top floor of the shop!
What needs to be worked on: unfortunately, there are not a lot of people working there to advice you if you need it.

I just love 3 stories of cool organizing stuff, cute notepads, cards, cool books, great bags, and things that inspire me to be an artist. I just love the megganess of this location. I usually spend an hour wandering from table to table dreaming of being more organized and spending a fortune on all the cool things that are supposed to help me! Alas, I need a butler or a PA.

I’ve been a fan of Paperchase for years, and always go for in for a pootle about when I see branches in train stations. I had no idea this stupendous 3 storey kitsch-​palace existed, and I am so happy to have found it.
There’s a lot of tat, yes, but it’s all so jolly it makes me smile. Glittery purple Virgin Mary statuette anyone? Crocheted teapot bauble for your chistmas tree? How about a packet of teeny tiny clothes pegs with sequinned birds on? A small lunchbox to take your single cupcake to work?
The stationery range is lustworthy. My favourites are the beautiful journals and notebooks that are so intimidatingly pretty it takes months to get the courage to write in them. As an extra treat, this branch also has an area devoted to very smart gifts which you’d usually see in posh department stores.

4 Words: HOT PINK CHRISTMAS TREE!!!
PAPERCHASE is what I have been looking for since moving from NY to London. It is what I imagine would happen if New York’s A.I. Friedman, Opening Ceremony and Kates Paperie all got together and had a baby. It is truely amazing and is your one stop shop for all cards, kitchy gifts, and over the top sparkly holiday décor.
Be sure to check out the 70% off (or other sale) area on the 3^rd floor… has good finds.

I’m a sucker for art stores but this is one + more! It’s a huge three floor sanctuary for all things artsy, knickknacky, and downright random (like cute shaped ice cube trays or something). I swear this place has it all. It can get pricey at times, but there are definitely bargains in there. Like the A2 colorful papers I got today. They were like 35p a sheet &it was buy 4 get 1 free, vs. 40p from the art store down the street.
Everything is so goddamn colorful and cute, I can spend so much hours (and £££ if I had it) here just looking at the million things they have in there. They already have christmas trees and decorations up, what the hell!
This paperchase shits bricks on the two aisle paperchase pipsqueak section at the borders book store back in the u. s, no question!

This store is my dream! I thought Papyrus in the states was the best of the best, but Paperchase is sheer perfection. This location is absolutely MASSIVE and so fantastic.
Can I just talk about the card selection for a moment? There is no question that there is a card here for just about anyone. There are so many different card designers, some hilarious, some pretty, some tasteful and artistic. And I love that many of the card designers are local. Prices are so reasonable too. The stationary and notebook department is wonderful as well.
I also love the section with the random bits and bobs, with quirky gifts and toys. But beware! It’s hard to leave without buying something you don’t need. There is no doubt about it that Paperchase (especially this location) is your one stop shop for all your paper needs.
But seriously, I could spend all day in this store.

Paperchase — vermutlich mit dem McPapers hierzulande vergleichbar. Hat eine riesige Auswahl an Stiften, Blöcken, Füllern und allem was das Schreiberherz begehrt. Preise sind auch okay.
