An Interactive Pop Up at Old Spitalfields Market, London
I’m just back from a week in the UK and you really couldn’t knock the smile off my face. The trip was for business, but of course I had to stay a few extra days to play. You know, work/life balance and all that. While I love sharing aspirational places and fabulous hotels (and believe me, I have tons to come!), I wanted to kick off this London series with a little instant gratification. My client and I had brunch reservations on her last day near the Old Spitalfields Market and happened to stumble upon the very first Not on the High Street two-day interactive pop up market. Such luck!
For those of you in the US, Not on the High Street is a fabulous UK website selling unique gifts and items for the home and one that I had become familiar with a few years ago while searching for Christmas gifts. The pop up store allowed visitors to view the items perfectly curated and either buy on the spot or order online. While not every single thing is available for US delivery, I feel sure your wallet is about to get a lot lighter.
