Concierge.com's insider take:
In the happening environs of Brick Lane, you'll find the second act—or side project, given that his band's still alive—of Mark Bedford, the bassist from Madness. Who knew the guy behind "Baggy Trousers" and "Our House" had such exquisite taste? This is a sparse store of well-priced houseware finds, sourced from all over Europe. A mix of high and low—funky handmade ceramic beakers, industrial-delicate light fittings, French gardener's clogs, Danish melamine bowls, and wooden children's toys. The store hours are eccentric—it's only open weekends, though you can call ahead to get in during the week.
