We love this new collection from Dansk Smykkekunst here at Map Gift Shop.  It's a development of the SS17 collection with its focus on circles, spheres and discs.  This winter collection has a subtle and understated simplicity with clever contrasts of the circular theme, presented in brushed gold, silver and hematite plated copper.  Each piece has a tactile quality and an affordable price tag.  Easy to wear, stylish and sophisticated Contemporary Fashion Jewellery at it's finest.

Archway My Way - A guided walk with Jen Pedlar

Jen Pedlar 'Queen of Archway' and dear friend of map gift shop is back leading a series of guided walks titled 'Archway my Way'  and the next walk is on Saturday 25th November at 1pm tickets available here.

"I’ve lived in Archway for over thirty years. Let me show you my manor!" 

Archway's regeneration is nearly complete; its brutalist tower has been clad and turned into flats, the controversial gyratory system has finally gone and the amazing new space (and as yet un-named) space has been created.

On this walk you will, see the place where Dick Whittington famously turned again.  Learn why a bridge was built where there should have been a tunnel.  Hear why priests disguised themselves to buy a pub.  Stand on a point that's at the same level as the top of the dome of St Paul's & get fabulous panoramic views from some of the highest points in London.

And what's more..... if you fancy a bit of retail therapy, this is possibly the only guided walk that exits through the gift shop! 

This circular walk starts at Archway tube station (meet in the ticket hall) and lasts about two hours - you can book tickets through Eventbrite!  We'll post more information about future dates soon!
