On the Grid : Magma

"Whilst the original Magma opened up on Earlham Street back in 2000, it’s the newest, larger shop on Shorts Gardens we like to visit most. On the ground level you’ll find design led books, cool toys and stationery. In the basement level is an ever-changing exhibition space and a brilliant range of magazines, from international fashion favourites to more niche foodie essay collections." - Assembly

I love this shop! If you ever need a gift or something special for yourself, go here! Had really imaginative products, good location and was a good sized shop! I really enjoyed just browsing through all the different things they had, and was extremely tempted to buy the lot.

Super gift shop for art books and arty gift stuff. The basement only has weird specialist magazines and a very limited selection of t shirts and lamps which was a bit disappointing - think they could do more with this space.

Oops, I got my streets mixed up when I checked in on my Yelp up ... the main Magma store has moved from Earlham Street to larger premises in Shorts Gardens. It still stocks its amazing selection of gifts and books, but somehow it has lost some of its magic. I liked the cramped displays before, now everything is nice and spacious and tidy, giving you too much of an overview at first sight. Mind you, you still find the odd gem here, and I'll definitelly be back ...

This place has lots of very unique design books, gifts, and toys upstairs and a wide selection of design magazines downstairs. It was my favorite find from visiting London.
