Our favourite shops: Dark Room, London

Photographs (c) Dark Room

We adore this concept store located on on Lamb’s Conduit Street, London WC1. They sell an eclectic mix of high-end fashion, interior and lifestyle accessories and also stage bi-monthly art and sculpture exhibitions.

Well worth a visit (or three!) http://www.darkroomlondon.com/

Our favourite shops: Magma, Manchester

CO9 Cloud spent a wonderful Saturday afternoon mooching around the Northern Quarter in Manchester.

With so many unique, independent and just plain cool shops all within the Northern Quarter, its hard to name a favourite, but based on time spent, books and products on offer, teamed with really friendly and knowledgeable staff, we have to give it to Magma on Oldham Street.

If you love design, this IS the place to get all your latest books! With 2 other stores (Clerkenwell and Covent Garden) we really recommend you check it out and let us know what you think... http://www.magmabooks.com
