I flipping love this place and it seems to consistently find ways to weave in and out of my life. I used to come here as a wide eyed student on day trips before I moved to Newcastle, when I was employed and living in London my wonderful boss (Lynda) would send me on inspiration afternoons here (what a job!) and it was in the cafe here that the fluffy ideas about starting Bold & Noble were cemented. And now, cue drum roll, we’ve actually got something tangible under their roof, as of next week the V&A shop will be stocking Bold & Noble prints.

This is big stuff for little people like us!
