Lamy In Brussels And London

[jjlax10]

Hello Friends,

 

I am travelling to London (and Rye) and Brussels next week. I have long ago given up hope of the big pen find in my travels, but, I know the ever ubiquitous Lamy maybe had at department stores and other places. Is there anywhere folks can recommend in those cities that are particularly good stockists of Lamy? I am always on the hunt for the ever illusive OB steel nibs.

 

Thanks,

 

Josh

There is a chain of pen shops called the Pen Shop and they are throughout London

 

https://www.penshop.co.uk/store-locator/

 

They will all carry Lamy pens and a few others, one of the busiest branches is at Leadenhall Market which is close to Lloyds, that area is worth seeing anyway. It is in the City which is on the eastern side of London, not sure where you are going to be.

 

You may struggle to find your elusive OB nib however.

 

If you are in the West End then have a look at Selfridges, they have a reasonable pen range.

 

Are you aware that the London Pen Show is on October 1? Does that fit with your plans?

 

Cannot help you as regards Brussels but this question was asked in 2010, probably still holds true.

Thank you, I will be in Notting Hill. I have been to Pen Shop closer to Trafalgar Square. Unfortunately, I will be in Brussels for the London Pen Show.

You may want to go to Selfridges department store instead, 20 minutes by tube from Holland Park to New Oxford Street

 

There is a good website for planning your journeys around London.

Hi Josh,

You might be able to visit the "Belgian Penshow" which takes place in Brussels on 28 and 29 September. Both vintage and modern pens will be available.

Conid is also participating

Hope to see you there !

For Brussels if you are there weekdays, you might try Papeterie du Parc Leopold for the Lamys; also, Casi One on Bd Adolphe Max probably has them. Both of those shops sell Caran d'Ache as well and PdPL sells Graf von Faber as well and iirc Visconti. Not sure about the OB nibs though.

If you're in Notting Hill on Saturday morning, you're very near Henry Simpole's booth at Portobello Market - Admiral Vernon Arcade, Portobello Road. Well worth a look!
