Since this week I’ve challenged my fellow writers (and you readers too) to shop locally this week, it seems a good moment to mention a brilliant site - We Love Local.

In the context of the shop local challenge I set yesterday, I am in trouble now with my colleague at work, whom I sent out yesterday to get me a Christmas sandwich from Pret a Manger. Mmmm, so tasty, but so corporate. Sorry.
I start tomorrow.

Listen up Kerry, Kirsty and Vanessa! And listen up dear blog readers, because I am about to issue the first Four Good Corners Challenge.
The idea for this comes from the people at Wedge Card, who this week have been challenging shoppers in East London to go for an entire week shopping only at local, independent shops. So I set you the same challenge. Do you think you can manage it? No chain stores, supermarkets or Clone Town high street chains. Instead support your local shops.

:: Local guide: Lamb’s Conduit Street, London
Posted by Joelle on December 7, 2007 | Permalink
Welcome to the first of many local guides here at Four Good Corners, where we let you in on the details of some of our favourite corners of our local areas.
When I left work tonight it was the most lovely winter’s evening, cold and crisp, with Christmas lights twinkling in treetops and shop windows. Perfect weather to walk over to Lamb’s Conduit Street, whose row of small independent shops were hosting their annual Winter Festival along the street. I bought myself a hot spiced cider from Tutti’s cafe and set out to explore the shops.
