We Built This City

Who built this city? London’s artists, designers and creatives did – on a musically nutritious diet of rock ‘n’ roll, apparently. And now you can shop them all under one roof at We Built This City, our new pop up gift shop putting the cool in Cool Britannia with their range of arty London souvenirs.

Here’s six gifts that every Londoner, or in fact anyone, will love. It’s time to show your Christmas list who’s boss.

Our girl’s crowning glory is as distinctive as her voice and a perfect present for any Winehouse fan. Sketched and screen printed in England by design duo, Bold & Noble (£38) – this is pop art for the 21st century.

You can’t get anything for a fiver these days, apart from this coaster by London illustrator LucyLovesThis that is. It features all the best things about Camden on it. Secret Santa sorted.

What do you give the girl who has everything? A London brick vase, of course. Made in England and set to become a design classic. At £38, it’s a steal.

If your best friend is Bowie’s biggest fan, get them this glittery Ziggy Stardust badge pin (£10) so they can show the world just how much they love him. We recommend pinning it to their jacket prefect style.

We Built This City have a thing for pigeons and this screen print from Jolly Awesome £35) is just that. Great for any urban art enthusiast. He’s wearing New Balance sneaks for God’s sake. What’s not to like?

This screen print by artist Tirso Sanchez Otaegui (£80) is a mish mash of what’s most iconic about London – with our bridge smack bang in the centre, obvs. Sure to put a smile on the face of any Camden lover.
