Never has a city collectively spent more time at home or more money on improving it than London has this past year. Now it’s time for the fun bit — the finishing touches.

And there’s nowhere better to find them than in the capital’s independent businesses.

Join the Evening Standard in supporting these brilliant high street spots that have done the hard work of sourcing the best stuff for you. All you have to do is splash out on their best wares.

Ellelyne Home Udu marbled quilt in blue and yellow

Offer: 30% Discount Code: ESSHOPS

New homewares brand Ellelyne was founded by Afoke Bakpa, who relocated from Lagos to the UK in 2020 and now sources products from artisans in India, Nigeria and Turkey. Made from pretty hand-marbled cotton voile in Jaipur, this quilt would work as a summer-weight duvet alternative or even as a cosy option for chilly evenings of outdoor socialising.
