I think I want to live in Primrose Hill. In fact, I KNOW I want to live in Primrose Hill. Apart from the weird breed of mothers that live around the area (posh, well dressed, bossy, strict but strangely cool), there is lots to offer, not least the fact that every shop, cafe, restaurant is dog friendly so Dhilly get's star treatment too. It's one of those places that is equally gorgeous in the summer and the winter. Which probably explains the million pound price tags on the homes.
Whilst on a stroll through the high street last weekend I popped into the Daniel Poole gallery, somewhere I regular when I'm in the area. Daniel is a fashion and interiors designer. He had a streetwear label in the early 90s and now concentrates his efforts on his shops and art.
The website states: 'The shop is a cornucopia of bizarre and wonderful vintage finds and one-of-a-kind works of art - a curiosity shop for the 21st century.' A very accurate description.
Amongst other amazing pieces in his shop at the moment (including a sold silver men's brogue and a women's heeled shoe - both I was drooling over), there are lots of pieces of neon art by Chris Bracey - another incredible artist. Hand made or sourced from vintage locations and re-conditioned, Chris Bracey's pieces are the epitome of pure self-indulgent, fun art. Very contemporary, very current.
Look... aren't they fab??!!
