Hi :) do you know any good shops for study/school supplies in London? I'm going there next week so some tips would be great! 😃

OOHH love this question ehehee

This is going to be a really long post, masterpost style with commentary cause I love shopping, and I love stationery, and when you put them together….

There are Mujis all over London, my favourite is on Tottenham Court Road, near to the tube station. They usually have the best stock because it’s less tourist-y! And this one is even better because right across the road towards Googe street station is…

The largest Paperchase in London! (This part of London is called Fitzrovia which I think is a brilliant name!) It has three floors and a cafe!

The London Graphics Centre is great for more art-y supplies like brush pens, promarkers, sketchbooks, but also has a massive selection of washi tapes and notebooks. Thats in Covent Garden, where Shelton St crosses Mercer St.

Then there’s also a place in East London called Choosing Keeping. This is an independent shop I love, but it can be more expensive. That’s on Columbia Road, and the lady that owns it takes vintage stationery, repairs or re-vamps it and sells it on. It specialises in Japanese and english stationery.

Another terrific shop is near Angel, and it’s called Present and Correct. They describe themselves as “inspired by homework, the post office and school.” Which is basically where my love for stationery was born! I love vintage stationery, but it can be expensive so I have to choose really carefully.

I also love a shop called Labour and Wait. Its vintage inspired stationery again! Sorry if that’s not your thing lol This shop is so cute and all about practical design that just plain works brilliantly. I’ve bought my ruler, fountain pen and an enamel baking tin in there in one visit! Also, if you go to this shop, I recommend having some brunch in this cafe called Fika nearby - they have great green tea, and avocado on toast! :D

I love a shop called SMUG which is near one of my favourite ends of London, Camden. If you’re coming to London, go to Camden! Great food and amazing vintage fashion. It’s basically the punkest part of the city, and its a walk away from the British Library and Kings Cross for your Potter needs. I love this shop’s pastel aesthetic, and I just want to fill my entire uni flat with it!

I personally don’t like WHSmiths, it has good basic stuff, as does Rymans, but none of their stuff often stands out to me. The same goes for Staples.

I hope that gives you some help! These are all pretty spread out across London, so wherever you are you can take a little trip to one or two of them! A lot of this stuff follows my particular style, but there are also stationery sections in Waterstones (biggest one in the country is on Piccadilly!) and Selfridges has a great section too! (and their own Muji inside). Don’t be intimidated by the makeup section (it’s pretty, and pretty terrifying)

Have fun! I would offer to meet up with you and go on a stationery shop with you but I’m going to be in cornwall from the 19th to the 4th! xxxxxx emily

epicene-street-light-deactivate

wholesome student life things that we should collectively start romancizing

waking up and being genuinely thrilled to go to class because today is THAT CLASS you love so much you’d like it to never end

coffee breaks with friends, chatting and joking about this particularly hard essay and the prof’s mannerism

coffee breaks on your own, as you absent-mindedly watch the people around you, while thinking about what you’re working on

finding this book you’ve been dying to read for so long, and borrowing it from the library

the feeling of excitement that goes through you whenever you remember The Book is in your backpack

understanding everything during demanding classes and being genuinely interested in the subject

buying a New Special Pen and taking colorful notes that look super pretty

not being able to shut up about your school projects (no your friends dont really care about the intricate details of what you’re working on, they don’t even have the same major as you, but they’re happy to hear you rant with such a burning passion)

actually doing the extra reading and having your curiosity so piqued by what you’re reading that you go on and on and suddenly its 1am and what happened

printing the project you’ve spent so much time and energy on and feeling the paper’s warmth

actually submitting that project without feeling awful about it because you know you did your best and aren’t responsible for what happens next

when you finally finish this Super Hard And Important Essay at like 3am, open the window and feel the cold night air on your burning cheeks and everything is dark and quiet and you can see the moon and you’re at peace with everything for a few minutes

when this professor you admire says you did a great job and/or that you’re talented!!!!

realizing two concepts that seemed so far away from each other and that you discovered in wildly different contexts are actually interlinked, then Realizing™ things and linking concepts/works/articles to each other at the speed of light & being super excited about it

being so deeply immersed in your work that you didn’t realize two hours have passed

finding the Perfect Spot at the library

that Pure Joy moment when you FINALLY understand that super obscure sentence/text

when you feel anxious because you’re not done with your homework & the deadline is super tight & your friend tells you they aren’t done yet either

same but with an even more intense relief feeling when you realize you both haven’t even started yet

when the professor starts a new reasoning and you can predict what the next idea/the final conclusion will be

when the professor mention your favorite novel/author/fictional character in class and you feel like your internal screech of joy could shatter glass

the Academic Salt™ that has you like 👀👀

when the professor tears apart an author or scholar you hate and you’re like YES I WANT BLOOD GIVE ME BLOOD

when you learn that Cool New Fact that makes you reconsider your whole life

leaving the library after a long productive day and feeling like nothing is real but experiencing everything more intensely

leaving the library at night after a long study session and everybody has left already and its just you and the long neon-lit corridors then stepping outside and smelling the crisp night wind

feel free to add your own!!!

a-random-fandom-friend

when you learned a thing that interessted you and two days later someone completly unrelated to your work will say “hey i wonder how this works?” and you’re so excited to explain it because you KNOW THAT

when you’re anxious af for a class and the professor is actually super friendly and you feel confident enough to ask questions

and suddently thank to this one professor EVERYTHING MAKES SENSE

understanding that One Difficult Point and suddently you feel like you UNDERSTAND THE FABRIC OF THE UNIVERSE

sometimes you can feel like you have too much in your bag but then one friend has a problem and they are pleasently surprised when you have Just The Right Thing

Running half the campus because you’re so excited to see your friend and to eat with them !!!!!!!!
