LOWER STABLE STREET
London's newest Christmas hub is led by mag turned design/event space and shopKiosk N1C, who withthe makers and designers of Lower Stable Street, Coal Drops Yard, Kings Cross, have organised a design-driven December programme.
Offering a sustainable alternative to the normal tinsel-festooned festive fairs, events include a crafty Christmas mini-market on Friday 6 December (1-8pm) curated by the team at STORE Projects,held in the market-style open space between the shops.
Expect to find quirky and experimental products made by local designers and makers and Store's After School club students.
There's also a Granby Workshop pop-up selling colourful and totally unique platters, cups and more (6-8 December).
The best bit though is if you buy one of the Kent-grownChristmas trees, after Christmas there's a tree-recycling project – whereby the pine needles of old trees are transformed into gin by Bloomsbury Distillery.
Simply return your tree to Kiosk N1C after 4th January and pick up a gift voucher for a bottle of Christmas tree gin. And kiss goodbye to Dry January...
