Paperchase Kingston

Although there's a stand-alone branch of Paperchase in the nearby Bentall Centre, I come-in here more often. On the top floor of Borders, it's open conveniently late, has a decent selection from most of their ranges and always has something to tempt me. I love their stylish and colourful stationery, cute keyrings and quirky items.


The staff are always very friendly and helpful (in a pleasantly unobtrusive way). I was a little surprised to find large tins of lip-balm at the till - not quite sure how they fit in with 'essential' stationery items

Cards for any occassion can be found here and they are unique and are good quality. Also there are lots of little bits and pieces that make nice little prezzies if time is running out! It is laid out well, which makes it easier to find what you are looking for.
