On Friday I was sent out on a run to buy 20m of lace (for decorative, not constructive purposes) and ended up passing almost an hour on one stretch of road in Soho: Berwick Street. The central part of the road is closed off to traffic and filled with market stalls selling everything from fruit and veg to bags and hats, whilst the shops to the side are mostly fabric stores with an odd scattering of music stores (vinyl specialists), jewellery (studded goth style and Indian inspired) and antique lighting. Whilst my hunt for the perfect lace was unsuccessful I gave in to the overwhelming temptation of the flower stall and spent £10 on a beautiful bouquet of lilies. When I have more time I shall most definitely go back for a more lengthy and in depth perusal of the fabric stores and also to buy more flowers- the girl infront of me bought an amazing bouquet of wild flowers with lavender, sunflowers and other foliage, all for a really reasonable price!
