This one has been on my list for a while...I *finally* made it to Circus in Brixton Village recently. After seeing the launch of this creative little interiors and vintage shop in Elle Decoration I was pretty much sold already. But then finding out it was in neck of the woods put it straight to the top of my (embarrassingly actually real) list.
But what makes this shop even more special for me is its placement and involvement in Granville Arcade or Brixton Village as we like do call it down sarf London. This market arcade has been part of Brixton life since the 30s yet it fell into rack and ruin...but it then got happily transformed in 2009 and has now become one of the most happening, friendly places to shop and eat in my area. Hurrah. Which is where Circus comes in...
The first thing you notice about Circus is the cardboard. This creative homeware, acessories and arts shop has basically been built of the stuff. A great recycling message and an even better paired down look.
The shop is small and perfectly formed with the designer/maker products carefully curated by the owners (one of which was the delightful and delightfully named Tabitha who very kindly gave me the low down on the shop on my visit).
The fabulous selection at Circus ranges from original prints...
And a mixture of old and new all the way throughout the store...
And check out that exposed lighting display...love...
More accessories beautifully displayed...
Circus is a great store, you can see the effort behind the project and the thought that goes into the product choice and shop design too.
Brixton Village is an ace location to shop, eat and explore. Circus is the cherry on top. And you know what? I really like cherries.
