HIDE AND SEEK

It’s a weekend of comedy at Hide All and who’s better to carry the torch for great British comedians than Spike Milligan.

The grand father of comedy and his ever observational style has been made available for everyone to enjoy as best-selling greetings cards from Woodmansterne…

A small selection of our favourites:

Keep smiling no matter the weather!

Situated in the heart of Bermondsey, The Fashion and Textile museum is a 10 minute walk away from us.

Founded by British designer Zandra Rhodes, this iconic building is amongst the must see’s of SE1.

Currently hosting ‘Kaffe Fassett – A Life in Colour’ “a celebration of the work of one of the great practitioners of contemporary craft.”

For any lovers of arts and crafts and of course colour, this is a must to do in London this Spring.

WARNING: Once visited you may find the urge to knit, quilt, paint or weave. It certainly had that effect on us!

Here at Hide All we’re big supporters of all things sports; namely the mighty Charlton FC! However this weekend all our thoughts and support are with the fantastic people who are involved in the London Marathon.

This year is even more important than ever especially as we have not 1 but 2 friends of Hide All. They will be running for their respective charities on Sunday and we’ll be cheering them on from the starting line at Blackheath, over Tower Bridge, around the docklands and finishing up at Westminster!

Stuart Boddy from Radley London has been a friend of Hide All for many years and we know he’ll do an amazing run. His justgiving link is at the bottom of this page if you’d like to donate to his very personal and worthy cause; Cancer Research Wales. Please do read his story and follow his journey.

Erin Johnson who works in Shad Thames is running on behalf of the Crohn’s and Colitis UK charity and as ever has risen to the occasion with such style and grace.

We’ve loved reading http://lovefromcornfield.com/ throughout her marathon preparations. Again her giving link is at the bottom of this page.

There’s no doubt we’re all looking forward to putting the de-icer away for another year and getting ready for the warmer spring months.

However there is one spring time character that’s already out in force at Hide All and helping out our customers for all occasions!

I am of course talking about; the bee…

Swarm into our Tower Bridge store to see them up close!

Tower Bridge and the surrounding area of Shad Thames has forever been a thriving hub of activity. A vibrant blend of city workers and tourist groups from every corner make the area an exciting place to be and visit.

The iconic bridge itself has always been a staple of London’s site seeing list and here at Hide All we have a vast variety of ways to take Tower Bridge home with you…

So come and visit Tower Bridge this weekend; with restaurants such as Le Pont De La Tour offering fantastic deals on amazing food how could you resist!

“An opulent fantasty”,  encapsulating freedom and optimism; Sarah Burton’s latest collection for Alexander McQueen is an inspiration for the season to come.

Architectural and geometric forms combine in the most feminine manner.
