  Spot the purple clock! Join us on a journey through St Christopher’s Place, the home of Les 100 Ciels flagship store. Tucked away from the crowds of Oxford Street you stumble across an eclectic collection of independent boutiques, bars and restaurants.

We cannot help but stop by Workshop Coffee on the way to our store every morning for the best coffee you will ever have. They work closely with the best coffee growers in Colombia, Costa Rica and Kenya, producers and exporters- ensuring that they develop, envolve and adapt together while aiming for a continuous improvement of quality in a cup. They also champion home brewing and hold masterclasses regularly for you to perfect making the ultimate espresso.   Next head down to Il Papiro to stock up on beautiful handmade paper.

I Don’t Know. The Weave of Textile Language looks at the importance of textiles throughout history and combines a major exhibition in the Whitechapel Gallery, a large-scale sculptural commission in Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall and a brand new book. The sculpture is at the Tate Modern until 6th April 2015 and the exhibition is in the Whitechapel Gallery until 14th December.   2.
