It opened on Friday and is 50 small shoplets within the old three story building. It looks fantastic, just needs all the units to be taken up as half are currently empty. The ones there have an art and craft bent with lots of jewellery, hats, old fashioned sweets. Could do with a few more blokey things like old toys, specialist records, niche books, etc but very impressed so far.

It runs parallel with Surrey St market, do a left at the KFC as you head from George St tramstop and cross the high street.

Haven't been in to have a look yet but will do soon.

A friend of mine is an amazing chef who now specialises in handmade chocolates. Have a look at his website - Indulgence Confectionery
This could be really bad for my waistline (and bank account) now he is in Croydon!

Was sorry to see Beanos go but sounds like it has been put to good use.

I popped in on Saturday, a great addition to Croydon. For anyone with babies or little ones there's a great stall selling baby gros and t-shirts at reasonable prices. I got a baby gro with a picture of Animal from the Muppets for £8 for my friend's newborn son ... not as cheap as Primark obviously but I was in Spitalfields yesterday and similar stuff there was being snapped up by Shoreditch tossers for £25.
'Stuff' reminds me vaguely of the much missed Kensington market, or maybe that was just the smell of jossticks and the token goth I saw in there.

Nipped in there today, it's excellent! Such a good idea, a huge range of shops, well worth a visit.
