From Britain with Love

About us...

Of Cabbages & Kings opened in May 2008 and has now firmly established itself both within London’s Designer-Maker community and the local community. Down a quiet side street from Stoke Newington’s bustling Church Street, Of Cabbages & Kings took up home in an old disused sweet shop or the ‘Tuck Shop’ as it was formally known.

It houses an excellent range of fine art prints by local illustrators, mostly in limited edition and the space is as much an arts and crafts gallery as it is a gift shop. With an incredible array of bags, books, cards, ceramics, jewellery, kitchenware, prints, tea towels and hand picked 1950s vintage furniture, the shop is bright, inviting and full of charm. You're sure to find something that will tickle your fancy.

At Of Cabbages and Kings we like to be a bit different and last year we we’re delighted to be included in the brilliant second edition of The Independent London Store Guide.

“As is often the case with artists who aren't producing for a mass-market, the work is all the more appealing for being so individual and undiluted in style. Unusual jewellery and ceramics are likewise often produced locally and in small numbers, making them exclusive without being expensive.”

With so many talented designer-makers in the area, we also set up the popular Of Cabbages & Kings Market Days at Abney Hall. On the first weekend of each month a different selection of designers and makers fill the hall with a vast variety of handmade gifts, original artwork and designer home wares.
