Fountain Pen Shops In London

L. Cornelissen & Son in Great Russell Street between Tottenham Court Road and the British Museum is a must for artistic materials. It is real old world!

For anyone planning to visit Choosing Keeping on their London holiday (as I did): A lot of stuff on their web site is not on display in the shop, but can be produced from the basement if you ask for it!

It's a shame, but inevitable, that these stores have disappeared. The last independent I knew of was in Flask Walk, (Hampstead NW3) - and it closed a few years ago.

 

 

JM Pennyfeather's. As an NW3 local, I bought my first ever fp there as a schoolboy (Lamy Safari). Shame to see it go, but by the end they were coasting on fumes.

 

As others have said, London's a fountain pen desert at the minute...

Nothing that stands out especially if you are on holiday. Plenty of other things to do and see.

 

Previous posts have covered the meager offerings, it is a similar situation across the UK unless you are in the vicinity of those 8-10 stores.

 

If you are traveling from outside the EU, it is cheaper and easier to buy online and VAT free.
