Sometimes, a single picture is enough to tell a story. I've loved the beautiful "art deco" shops around Charles Holden's 1933 Southgate Tube Station, and after getting to know Migle who runs the excellent Your London Florist I was itching to take a picture showcasing the fantastic shop as the light dropped towards evening.
So tonight, I went dodging buses, double parked motorists and people 'just hanging around' to capture this lovely picture of the shop, and of Migle working away in the window. The shop is open late in the evening, so if your journey takes you through Southgate Station why not stop off and grab a bloom for someone significant in your life.
We Love Enfield, precisely because it's full of great independent shops like Your London Florist, but they'll only be there if we support them!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words Sally & Laura. A great location, a friendly owner and some lovely flowers - how could I go wrong?!
ReplyDeleteThis used to be the Express dairy's shop that sold everything from chocolate, grocery’s to a bottle of milk that my nan Hilda Addison used to run. She was working in that shop well in to her 70's. I remember being a kid and going swimming at the pool just round the corner and then getting some crisps and a can of pop at the shop. Happy days :-)
