SCP Ltd

Best known for its brightly coloured modern furniture and high-end design pieces: Hans Wegner chairs, Robin Day sideboards. But you can also pick up other fun things like children’s books and chocolate. The shop is very chic, laid out across three floors, so expect to spend hours browsing. If you need sustenance, they have a cafe. The balancing blocks from Fort Standard. They allow people to play architect with a collection of mismatched pieces, and they’re affordable—around £50—and can fit in your luggage.
