Penny Blood's Black Book – My Independent Guide to London - Penny Blood's eclectic collection of favourite places in London to drink coffee, eat cake, have tea, eat out, buy clothes, watch movies, kill time, read Voltaire, quote Baudelaire and write this blog.

Tucked away up a narrow flight of stairs above the Soho bookshop on Charing Cross road is a little designer bookshop specialising in fashion and art books, many of which are hard to find. It’s also home to a vast collection of glossy magazines that, let’s be honest no one ever really reads but our world would be poorer without them. For such a tiny space I have never seen such a vast collection, none of which have unsightly 20% off stickers on them, they are all full price and therefore displayed adoringly yey! The owner’s camp little pug is a fixture not to be missed either.
