A design shop and café bar selling products from emerging designers alongside vintage furniture and home wares, everything is handily for sale, from tea sets to 1950s dressers. Plus it’s a relaxing spot for afternoon tea, or buzzy joint for a cocktail (we always love a negroni, and their gin-based concoctions are particularly good).
What else? Daily events proliferate, from tote bag printing to doodling. Night owls should note the club and late night drinking salon parties on till around 2am. Forthcoming highlights? A temporary tattoo parlour (tomorrow October 16, free from 7pm: design, draw and make your own transfer tattoos), pumpkin carving (next Monday 23, free with a cocktail 6-8pm), and musical bingo (Thurs Oct 23, £10, from 7pm). 9 Caledonian Road N1
And don’t forget to DASH…
This tiny off-shoot of DSD is unquestionably coffee heaven. Wimbledon-based speciality roasters Alchemy deliver beans from around the globe, including espresso, and single-origin filters are prepared with a range of brew methods. Brownies and pastries galore to score a sugar rush too. Or be on-trend with a froyo. 11 Caledonian Road N1
