Best Dressed - Northcote Road

December 19th 2007 16:27
Another of my favourite streets in Clapham (London) that has gone festive...
Sure it can't compete with the grand designs of Carnaby Street's decoration,

but it's still festive and very cute.


I may as well just lead with the favourite...it has to be The White Stuff.

I know their dressings are the same all over town, but I am a sucker for gingerbread men, what can I say.
A close second is 1 Giant Step, 1 Giant Leap...the little foofy fluffy things are adorable and better than all that fake snow people keep spraying on windows.

Now I was going to put my least favourite as Woolworth's, but you know - being kitsch and affordable is part of their positioning so instead I say Northcote's worst dressed is Whistles. I just looked in and I was bored.

Here it is:

So there you have it. Clapham's Northcote Rd undressed!

Yeah I would go with the gingerbread men too... suddenly feel like driver to Buderim... Lol.

Overall the street from your previous post was better though - much more effort put into Christmas cheer!

I think the amount of $ "cheching" the people who frequent the streets spend, is a reflection on the effort too.

Oh and as for gingerbread! I haven't found any really good ones...well to some they may be good - but for me a gingerbreadman/person HAS to be soft and very gingery.

I hear the godiva chocolate shop is doing them so i think that might be todays mission.
