    Somewhere – Sweets in London

    If you’re a sweet lover then you’ll love our small selection of simply saliva-inducing sweet shops in London! Perhaps some of the delicious displays will even influence your artwork, but don’t let us tempt you, go and see for yourselves!

    1. Cybercandy

    Cybercandy specialises in international sweets. If you’re looking for Olde english sweets you won’t find them here, but you’ll find plenty of other tasty delights including a fantastic selection of American Root Beer and cereals (such as Lucky Charms and Fruit Loops), Japanese chocolates shaped like Pandas, and salty European liquorice which will blow your head off! Their shops can be found dotted all around London in Camden, Islington, Covent Garden and Shoreditch. You can also see some of their selection on their website www.cybercandy.co.uk and follow them on Twitter at @cybercandyLTD (PS: Cybercandy’s Covent Garden store has a giant gumball machine that is too big to describe properly, you just need to see it!)

    2. Hope and Greenwood

    Hope and Greenwood describe themselves as an old-fashioned traditional sweet shop and that’s exactly what they are! The shelves are stocked with traditional British sweets that will have your mouth-watering in minutes. But they haven’t stopped there, Hope and Greenwood are always creating new sweets (such as Gingerbread humbugs) which are a hit with their wide range of customers. Children love the store for its colours and exciting ideas (such as a sweet ration book) and the older generation love the sense of nostalgia it holds! You can find Hope and Greenwood’s main stores at 20 North Cross Road (SE22 9EU) and in Covent Garden at 1 Russell Street (WC2B 5JD). If you fancy trying out some of their creations but can’t make it to their stores you can find Hope and Greenwood’s confectionary in Selfridges, John Lewis and Harrods to name a few. Find more of their locations and sweet creations at their website: hopeandgreenwood.co.uk

    3. Mrs Kibbles Olde Sweet Shoppe

    Mrs Kibbles’ small Sweet Shoppe  at 57 Brewer Street (W1F 9UL) does not let its size influence the wide range of products they have on offer. Their shelves are stacked high and crammed with jar upon jar of retro English sweets. Step back in time and enter a little grotto of the past – in sweet form! Along with confectionary the shop also sells sweet gifts. If one shop isn’t enough for you they have another retro store at 4 St. Christopher’s Place (w1U 1LZ)

    If you find any other sweet stores that you think we need to add to this list then please let us know!

    • At London Art Portfolio you are encouraged to seek inspiration everywhere, whatever stirs your passion, and afterwards introduced to an imaginative range of materials and techniques to visualise your ideas. The process was great fun and everyone on the course was really friendly and bounced off on each other’s skills and ideas. It was a pleasure to be there!

    • Thanks to this course, I began to understand the value of practising and honing your craft. It is important to know how to build a project from the ground up, with time and perseverance, but it is also important to back up your ideas with practiced skill.

    • I’m currently an undergraduate student studying Architecture. After failing my first year I began to attend one-to-one tutorials at London Art Portfolio. After attending tutorials for a year I ended happily with a first and now moving onto second year!

    • London Art Portfolio helped me find my creative self again, it helped me learn how to develop my own projects and how to present them properly. Fantastic team, great tutorials, vibrant and inspiring atmosphere. I will be eternally thankful to London Art Portfolio, especially to Julia…

    • At first I was uncertain of my own abilities and I lacked confidence. That is why I decided to seek the expertise of Julia at London Art Portfolio. She made me feel comfortable from the very beginning and starting from our first one-to-one tutorial I began to develop my drawing skills. She made sure that throughout our time together we explored different mediums, techniques and approaches.

      Annabelle Gee
    • ..London Art Portfolio, and Julia in particular, gave me creative guidance and help throughout the course to make sure I achieved and produced work, not only I, myself was pleased with, but work that would get me accepted to the schools I applied to…
