Cute stores? Are you looking for cute stores in London? Trying to find that cute, kawaii gift before Christmas or for someone's birthday...? Well then, here's just a small summary of those that I know of around China Town and in Trocadero... There's not many really. They're all in one area. Unfortunately I wasn't allowed to take pictures of the ones in China Town (but I did take a couple before I was told not to!! No infringement is intended here!!).
So the main one in China Town is called "China Market 中市". There's 3 entrances. One's on Charing Cross Road. The other on Newport Court and the third one is near the car park. It's like a mini mall of different stalls selling very, very cute things to bags to touristy stuff. I love it. There's so much Hello Kitty stuff, stationary and other quirky cute things that girly girls like. ^_^ Miss Pinky tagged along when I was taking these pictures and saw all the Pink Hello Kitty mugs, and she wanted them!! Hah!! |

The next stores are in Trocadero. There's actually one store missing. It's been taken over by another store, which is not so cute. It was a Chinese store that sold a lot of stationary and panda toys, clothes and bags... Aww... It's a shame that's gone!

Tokyo Toys!! ^^ |
However, in replacement of that store is Tokyo Toys! I actually forgot about this store!! They sell a lot of toys, T-shirts and manga... Check it out!! ^^

And the final cute store that I know of, which is one level above... It is actually quite tricky to get to because you can't really see the stairs. So once you see Claire's Accessories, go around the corner to the right hand side, you will see a set of stairs and then you will see this store... |
Mosaic House in Trocadero |

I love this store. It's similar to the stalls in China Market, but a bit spacious! You can also find an entrance on Rupert Street if you can't be bothered to go back into the main part of Trocadero...

If I get a chance, I will go and found some more cute stores around London!!
