Zeitgeist Design

Zeitgeist has presided over The Pavement for as long as I can remember in a world of growing homogeneity a beacon of stylish individuality and a great neighbourhood resource. The storefront, a grand Georgian (?) façade painted a hippy-​ish purple has a Selfridge-​style impact suitably scaled-​down to this small stretch of largely quite wonderful and unique establishments facing onto the common. Its windows too show flair and are frequently updated,
It’s a gift shop full of intriguing trinkets. The stock is imaginatively resourced and displayed: cards, jewellery, small home gifts, and local interest things it seems to aim to cater for all ages (the trendier spectrum of all ages, that is). I find it really impossible to emerge without succumbing to temptation.

This is the purple building on The Pavement without a name. It’s an expansive gift shop filled with all sorts of toys, cards, novelty items, jewellery, games and that really comforting smell of thought, care and gentility. Zeitgeist is good for presents obviously but also worth a look if you can’t find something particular in one of the big high street names. The staff are really helpful too so I’m sure in plenty of cases they can order in certain items or convince you that what you are really looking for is right there in front of you. Result either way.
