Daily Constitutional editor Adam Scott-Goulding writes…It's back! The annual London Christmas Shopping Guide from The Daily Constitutional!
This year I'll be including museum gift shops and markets for gift ideas.
As well as gifts I'll be pointing you toward local London shops for the best in Christmas food and drink. Where relevant, I'll list the London Walks tour that finishes near the shop in question.
As usual, you can drop me a line with your own tips by emailing the usual address, by leaving a comment below or via Twitter.
David Drummond Pleasures of Past Times
Adam writes… Here's the Xmas window display from last year at David Drummond's PoTP…
A Star-Studded Cast
And here's an illustration of why I love it…
Iggy Pop, Che Guevara, Germaine Greer, Harry Lauder, The Who and Charlie Chaplin on display. What a bill!
Comic Cuts
The shop is also featured in issue one of the Rock'n'Roll London Comic Book (a comic book & self-guided tour of Pink Floyd's London) as a perfect place to buy books on music…
(You can download a FREE 6-page sample of the Rock'n'Roll London Comic Book HERE.)
Past Times & New Futures
It's all about the pace, in Cecil Court. Until very recently Pleasures of Times Past still closed for lunch (nostalgic sigh)!
Intoxica record shop, late of the parish of Notting Hill, can now be found in the back room…
…making David Drummond's Pleasures of Past Times your one stop pop culture shop in Cecil Court.
