Pop up shop in the old deli in East Dulwich
The old lovely deli on my local high street didn’t have the good sense to fill its vast second room with more than a few packets of posh crackers and expensive penne, so sadly it bit the dust despite its well-stocked cheese counter in the first room. It has left behind a nice big empty shop that’s perfect for pop ups and a few weeks ago Anorak and Molly Meg moved in – one in each room. Anorak has taken over the room where the cheese counter used to be, decking the place out with its distinctive printed sleeping bags, blankets, picnic ware and other housey things including new grow bags. Their displays are excellent, with a big central table which seems to have peg board as a table top. Nice.
In the second room Molly Meg has added lovely string shelves, chairs and cabinets to hold all its fab retro and contemporary children’s products. Molly Meg, you could not have picked a better corner of London for kids stuff. This place is teeming with them. A parent from my own kids’ school was in buying a knitted swan trophy head while I was snapping away and she was leaving for Australia in two hours time – that’s good shop kerb appeal for you.
Both shops are rammed full of great gift ideas for Christmas. YES I’M TALKING ABOUT CHRISTMAS NOW.
Get yourself over to Lordship Lane pronto, who knows what’ll be in that building next and this is a nice slice of design on a street that could use a bit more of it.
I recently bought my son some presents for “Christmas” online from Molly Meg. Needless to say they’re out and being played with….
Yes I might ban myself from another visit until two weeks before Christmas, can easily see how this happened to you…
Lovely meeting you. Thank you so much for coming and for the brilliant post really appreciate it x
Hi there,
Is this shop still open? I want to order some stag tablecloth.
Thanks, Sarah
HI Sarah it’s not I’m afraid, but they have a very good online shop: http://www.anorakonline.co.uk
