Crouch End is not really an area of North London I frequent very often, but I started working there a week ago, and whilst exploring on my lunch break, stumbled upon a gem of a cafe. This is The Haberdashery. With its Cath Kidston-esque prints,its patterned crockery fit for your grandma’s tea parties, and Victorian fireplace tiles colouring its walls, it oozes super-cute flower kitsch like nothing you’ve seen before. They serve a great bowl-sized cup of coffee, bake their own organic bread and on the first Friday of each month they hold a bar boot sale; pretty vintage flower dresses to match the pretty vintage teapots- what more could you ask for? However, despite it ticking all the right old-school-quaintness boxes, it would not normally make the list of exciting new places in London that I am trying to compile, just because of its not-so-great location. But my visit there today, changed this judgement as, to accompany my tasty butternut squash soup was an awesome visitor in the shape of the comical and musical genius that is Tim Minchin. Well, if it’s good enough for Tim, it’s certainly good enough for me.

I love how Crouch End has recently become a quiet, querky, inaccessible yet very fashionable part of North London. Surprising since it's so hard to get to. Nestled between Muswell Hill and Highgate, (incidentally very inaccessible themselves), I would characterise this area as the Bermuda Triangle of North London: hard to get to, a bubble but nevertheless captures the intrigue of passers-by.
ReplyDeleteHaving been to the Haberdashery myself, I have one thing to highlight since visiting the cafe last - I WANT A TEA COSY FOR CHRISTMAS!
