Inside These Walls: Scandinavian style apartment in Stroud Green

Everything you see when you step into Crisis has been tailored to Esther’s design and created with help from the charity’s volunteers. There’s a story behind it all- from the coffee bag dress in the window, to the coffee stained wooden units themselves.

The culture that Claire has created at Barefaced: of collaboration, attention to detail, and client care, is evident the moment you step through Barefaced’s doors.

Yvonne, and her sister, Sharon, are well and truly “Finsbury Parkers”. The salon is right at the heart of Finsbury Park, and with the trio of Aquarius Hair, Aquarius Beauty, and Mento, the family own this corner of Stroud Green Road.

Pretty Shiny Shop is aptly named- an eclectic treasure trove of gifts, cards, and jewellery, it is filled to the brim with things to tempt your magpie sensibilities.

Mento is nestled just opposite Finsbury Park station, but bursting with vibrancy the moment you step through the door. We spoke to self-proclaimed Finbury-Parker, Sharon, over some Jamaican iced coffee. Part of our International Women’s Day 2019 series.
