Oh, how we love the wildlife of London and all its natural splendour! Meet the flying ant, the feral pigeon and Camberwell's genuine crack-addict squirrel in this twisted, subversive urban take on the souvenir tea towel, based on South East London’s finest wildlife.
This classic tea towel is the first product we designed, made and sold, inspired by an article we read in the South London Press about squirrels hoarding crack in South London, probably fake news but that's where it all began!
The three-legged fox was spotted in our then studio, and we all know about the pigeons all over London! If you’ve never seen a cockroach, are you really in London? Are you really never more than 6 feet away from a rat in London, or is that just an urban myth? Are these animals really pests or just cleaning up after us?
All the animals are initially hand-drawn by us and reference traditional wildlife illustration. Originally, we hand screen printed a handful in our decrepit first garage/studio in Camberwell, and many years later it is still one of our best sellers, still hand printed but in our more salubrious Deptford studio.
The perfect gift for all those urban wildlife lovers out there (with a sense of humour!)

Thought owls just sang twit twoo? Think again with our Owl Factor illustrated tea towel, that shows owl voices are way more varied than Simon Cowell's record collection!
This illustrated parliament of owls is originally hand drawn by us and depicts a selection of different wise old owls, including a snowy owl, a tawny owl, a great grey owl and so many more. Alongside is written how their calls might sound like if you are lucky enough to hear them!
If you know someone who is fascinated by owls (and maybe loved the ‘X’ factor? Or perhaps that is going too niche…) then this is the perfect gift for them!
Use it to dry your dishes or hang it on a wall as a delightful piece of art, the choice is yours (no public vote required).
Size - Approx. 47cm x 80cm, posted in a paper envelope.

Celebrate the rich variety of UK 'Spar Towns' and their Spar Shops.
The Spar Towns Tea Towel is a celebration of that Great British tradition of hanging around the local Spar shop as a teenager hoping someone old enough will buy you some cigarettes and booze.
Each fold of this exquisite tea towel tells the story of mundane suburbia, looking for that edge of excitement, which just happens to be the local Spar. Turns out they are even available in the ‘Towns of Water’, otherwise known as Spa Towns, so you can probably buy a bottle of Malvern Spa spring water in Bath Spar. Except you can’t because they no longer bottle it. Oh well.
People visit spas to "take the waters" for their purported health benefits. People visit Spars to “take the cider” for their purported fun benefits.
Featuring illustrations of real Spar shops in actual spa towns in the U.K. including Droitwich Spa, Malvern, Bath, Leamington Spa, Tenbury Wells, Cheltenham Spa and more!
Perfect for drying your dishes while you nostalgically remember a wasted youth, or the perfect gift for someone else who did so.
Not only is this a unique gift, but it is also hand screen printed by us in our Deptford studio. Sadly no Spar shops nearby, we have to make do with a Londis.

Half-timber facades at heights previously unimagined.
Narrow, restrictive mullion and diamond pane windows.
As well as 'Thatch Revival' which will see the U.K. creating the first thatched roof at over 770 feet (or 236m for our jealous European friends).

Celebrate the captivating canines of the city with our delightful Dogs of London tea towel! We have all heard the idea that a pet looks like its owner…but what does the breed of dog you choose say about where you live?
Originally inspired but the amount of pit bull type dogs we would see around Peckham, we wondered what breeds of dog you might find in other areas of London, as like different breeds of dogs, different areas of London attract different types of people.
Mothers to be flocked to East Dulwich, footballer's wives hung around Chelsea and Notting hill with their tiny dogs in handbags and so on. Although originally designed in 2008, this remains one of our best sellers, as pet dogs in London become even more popular!
