Hampstead is charming neighborhood in North West London. Hampstead has a village-like feel, with many quaint laneways lined with local businesses. The best Hampstead shops are located on these narrow laneways. There are lots of antique shops, most notably Keith Fawkes, a second-hand bookstore and antique shop. The shop is housed in a former greengrocers and chemist. The shopkeeper is a direct descendent of Guy Fawkes. Further down Flask Walk are two beautiful flower and garden shops.
Across Hampstead High Street there are more laneways home to the best Hampstead shops. Antique and vintage shops, pubs, restaurants and food shops. The lovely Maud & Mabel is located on one of these, Perrin’s Court.
Find these shops and more on The Shopkeepers Maps London.
