Hidden place Project


We have the unique opportunity of working on a live book design project entitled Hidden London:

a Notebook for Walker books, which may be printed and published and distributed in galleries and

trendy shops all over London.


we have to chose a secret place in london where not many tourist know about it.

I found this small cafe close to Angel tube station, it's been open for more then 21 years but maybe because there is not sign on the main street even people leaving in that area don't know this cafe. it's a situate on the second floor of a big building where also there is a gallery for art exhibition, events, drawing and painting workshops.


What I like of this place is:

  • Amazing frames candles
  • Sugar cube
  • Painting and canvases on the wall
  • A place with arts and event flayer selection
  • People talking with low voice
  • Soft music
  • Plants
  • Comfortable sofa
  • Different size of table, sofa, chair
  • Colours: sofa (scarlet, green with cream lines) chairs (scarlet, green. Light blue, cream, light brown)
  • Wall (scarlet, orange, yellow)
  • Texture all over the place
  • Menu in a blackboard written by hand
  • Light Blue Bookshelf with cookery books, English Dictionary, love story books,
  • Games (Scrabble, cards, Domino)
  • Two girls working there Rebecca and Yuri friendly, big smile


Why people should go there:

  • A Bookshelf with books for customers reading
  • No Internet connection to let people forget about technology for few hours and have a nice chat in a relaxing place
  • The furniture really vintage, colourful, texturing
  • No noisy around
  • Home made fresh food roast chicken and grilled salmon both served with rice and salad, cakes
  • Paper cut butterflies on the wall and a smiley heart
  • Soft music, low voice talking
  • Big wall advertising events, workshops and job offered
  • Sun coming from the window, beautiful light


The atmosphere:


- Warm
- Relaxing
- Peaceful
- Clean
- Colourful
- Graceful
- Homely
- Light
- Precious
- Unusual
- Alive
- Harmony
- Welcoming





Amazing
