Last weekend we all (my class) went on a trip to London for 2 days. It was great The weather was lovely and we did lots of quirky unique things that i probably wouldn't have done if id went to London alone. We stayed in Shoreditch and explored artsy streets and book shops (there was so much art everywhere). The first day we visited a little art gallery/shop called the illustration cupboard, i really enjoyed it there because i had heard about it before and wanted to visit it, plus love looking at different original illustrations. We then went to the London transport museum and originally i wasn't looking forward to this much but I really enjoyed it and for a museum it wasn't boring at all, although it's pretty small so for the money you pay to get in there wasn't much :/. We then went to Foyles book shop a HUGE book shop, i loved it and could have quite happily have bought all of the books but i restrained myself. The last stop of the day was a comic book sighing in an amazing comic book shop with lots of books and comics. It was really cool going to a signing because i had never done anything like this before, and there was a really good atmosphere to the place.
The next day we got invited to tour the Nobrow shop and office, It was amazing to see where it all started. It was so inspiring and all of their books are wonderful and such high quality. I bought a lovely space book! We then explored Columbia road and a few other streets around the Shoreditch area. There was a lot of street art around it was so different and refreshing to see really nice art on all of the street walls. It was great i really loved the second day as it was so chilled and fun, plus the gorgeous weather helped a lot and made the whole day feel like i was inside an Instagram photo :') .
I think i will do some more detailed posts about Nobrow books and maybe a post about the street art?
Here are some photos from the weekend.
