The Medici Gallery: Thurloe Street

I love this shop, it's been there for as long as I can remember. I buy most of my greetings cards there. They sell prints and posters, gifts and stationery. The staff are always so helpful and polite. I'd be devastated if they closed. It's one of my favourite London shopfronts and I like the gate very much. Thank goodness I photographed this when I did as there is now a row of Boris' Bikes infront. In January the bikes had all been removed. I wonder why? They're now back again.

 

The Medici Society was founded in 1908 by Philip Lee Warner and Eustace Gurney. The shop opened in the 1930s and is believed to be the oldest greeting card specialist in London.
