London, England - Embroidery shops?
Carol Higeli
I know I should have saved prior posts on this subject - but I would be
very interested in knowing the best shops in London, England, where one
could buy embroidery supplies - probably more along the lines of wool
embroidery (crewel). Whatever you could share would be most helpful. My
cousin is going in April and would appreciate knowing. She's involved in
the conservation of linens ( in Calgary ) and I know would be thrilled to
know which Museums might be recommended, also.
Thank you very much!!

wonderful fabrics of all types for sewing, and trims and buttons...it's
really neat. I wasn't that impressed with cross stitch over there, but
maybe I didn't know where to go. Enjoy London and let me know how it
was and if you find any new shops.. I'll be over there in june. Debbie

There's a shop called Creativity that's just wonderful. It's on New Oxford
Street, on the north end... I _think_ New Oxford runs north-south... Darn it.
If I had my London A-Z with me I'd be able to give you better directions, but I
know it's New Oxford Street. I was in London last spring for an off-campus
studies program, and I spent way too much of my free time (and spending money)
in there. I'd never been in a specialty craft shop before, only Franks/
Michaels/Ben Franklin's type stores. I was mostly interested in their enormous
yarn selection, but I remember seeing embroidery wool there too. I think they
had just about _everything_, actually. Creativity is not a small part of why I
want to go back to London so badly.
Hope this helps!

Definitely Creativity for wool embroidery (New Oxford Street, nearest
Tube - Totenham Court Road), but Liberty's is also worth a look (off
Regent St, nearest Tube - Oxford Circus)

Easy on this one too. The V&A (can't remember nearest Tube off hand but
it will be in all the Guide books).

BTW, seeing as there are so many post on this subject - give me about a
week and I will put together a web page of names, addresses, and phone
numbers - seeing as I live relatively close.
To help me to help you, if any one has any thoughts about other
cities/towns to include, whether availability of public transport is an
issue for visitors etc please email me and I will try to incorporate the
data.

One of the best shops in Central London is Creativity - 45 New Oxford St,
London WC1A 1BH. Tel 0171 240 2945.
Then there is the Ehrman shop in High St Kensington, just across the road
from High St Kensington station - that sells mostly Ehrman kits and
Appletons wools (maybe only Tapestry wool). The Glorafilia shop in Mill
Hill must be good, though I have not been there. Then there is always
Liberty, of course, which I think is in Regent St.
At a nice place some miles out of London is Henley Needlecrafts, in
Reading Road Henley on Thames. A lovely place for a visit, where they
do boat racing and have a lot of nice shops where you can spend a lot of
money. The stock in Henley Needlecrafts is fantastic - Tel 01491 410840.
As for museums, don't miss the textiles collection in the Victoria and
Albert museum - nearest tube station South Kensington. They have an
enormous and varied collection in frames under glass, so you just pull
out what you want to look at. Better not to go on Saturday as the
textiles collection closes at midday that day, and don't go in cold
weather as they are apt to close the gallery (trade union rules) if it
gets too cold for the warders. If at the V&A also look at the jewellery
collection, which is staggering, and the silver is to be recommended even
if you are not interested in silver.
If you get to Scotland, the Burrell collection in Glasgow has a superb
collection of embroidery etc which I have heard about but not seen. Ask
mcoss for more information because I understand that she has been there.

I was there in May 1995...and, yes absolutely go to Creativity on New
Oxford...but, it is a *must to go to Mill Hill Village and see
Glorafilia....you can take the underground out to the station (it's on the
u/g map) and a bus up the hill a few miles to their shop....It's *well
worth it...at least, it was for me...the owners were there...and it was
such a pleasure to have been to the shop pictured in their ads...
Bon Voyage and Cheerio, et al

I like the John Lewis department stores. There's one in Oxford Street near
Oxford Circus and Peter Jones at Sloane Square.

Others have mentioned the V&A (you could spend a week there, easy :-)
but there are some other places one could go particularly for costume.
Kensington Palace State Apartments and Royal ceremonial Dress collection in
Kensington Gardens.
Hampton Court Palace houses three important places connected with textiles:
All open only *by appointment* I believe.
The Textile Conservation Centre (TCC)
Embroiderer's Guild
Royal School of Needlework
A day to trip to Bath could mean a visit to the Museum of Costume, in the
Assembly Rooms, Bennett St and maybe the American Museum? Its a little out
of town at Claverton Manor.
Three more costume collections spring to mind - but none of them in London:
Worthing, West Sussex - costume collection from 18th - 20th c
Gallery of English Costume, Platt Hall, Rusholme, Manchester
Killerton House, near Exeter, Devon
Email me if you want more details, phone nos etc.... and I'll do my best to
help.

I just got back from London last week and visited the following:
The needlework dept at Harrod's
The needlework dept at Liberty's ( a old time large dept store, very
elegant with a great place to have lunch or tea).
A smaller retail store "Creativity" located in the west end - a very
short walk from the Hoburn tube stop. I have better addresses at work.
Let me know if you want more details.

I have eight shops listed on my website for England ... not all in London,
though. Take a look in the Shops - International area.
