Soap, soap and more soap





















This is one of the most attractive stalls in Covent Garden, it's situated at the back of the Piazza facing the Royal Opera House. It's a welcome relief from the tourist tat sold in the Apple Market. There are so many fantastic crafters out there now and the "handcrafted" outdated stuff that is sold in the market is an embarassment. It's been the exact same stallholders and stock for over a decade. This I'm glad to say is an exception.

















It's called S&M Strand and the products are handmade in London. The soaps can also be used dissolved in water as air fresheners. They also produce a small range of creams and some fabulous carrot shaped candles.
