I am looking for any cross-stitch shops in London, as I will be vacationing
there in October. Thanks in advance!

Julie:

There are no specialist needlework shops in central London now that
Creativity has closed. There are stitchery departments at John Lewis and
Liberty. There is a shop at Syon Park and the Artisan in Pinner.

Living about 50 miles away from London I feel foolish for not being able to
give you a better idea than this: Try Liberties of London. It's on Regency
(Regents?) Street which is right up the stairs from the Picadilly Underground
Station. I've been told that they have a wonderful entire floor devoted to
crafty stuff but, although I've walked by it, I've never gone in.
Have a great vacation!

> Julie,

If I was going to London I'd try to figure some way to get to Glorafilia. It is
a needlepoint shop (may have no cross stitch at all) but their books and
catalogs show such gorgeous stuff! Caution number two: they are not in central
London but I believe about 10 miles out from the center and there is no direct
subway line.

I believe that Glorafilia closed their Mill Hill shop some time ago. They
sell kits through Liberty (well worth a visit) and Harrods, but primarily
sell through mail order now sadly.

Liberty of London has a wonderful needlework department. I was there last year
and I didn't want to leave the store.

As someone else has mentioned, Creativity closed down earlier this
year; however Liberty is good especially for needlepoint, Ehrman on
Kensington Church Street is a treasure trove too.

However, when are you here in October? If it's between the 12th and the
15th, the Knitting and Stitching Show is on at Alexandra Palace; that's
always a 'must visit'. Details at
http://www.twistedthread.com/kands.html
where you can also find out about classes etc. It's an enormous show
with exhibitions, classes, competitions and hundreds of suppliers; good
for cross-stitch but also for any other kind of embroidery you can think
of.

I understand that Creativity has closed, unfortunately, and Harrod's' needlework
dept. is closing at the end of this month.

closed????

WHI Tapestry Shop on Pimlico Road. Reported as: "Their thread collection
might not be much but their painted canvases are wonderful and they do
special orders too."

Tapisserie is strictly needlepoint. Their address is:
54 Walton Street, London SW3 1RB.
The prices on their web site are mind bogglingly high.

Also needlepoint is Ehrman's shop - Lancer Square
facing Kensington Church Street.

I've seen ads for this place, but I've never been, I'm told it's a
wholesalers that does retail sales, including goldwork supplies.
