This is the first photo of my finds from bead shops in London… Yes, I have visited there together with my husband! We stayed at the hotel “Hilton London Metropole” and this is also where my husband attended the RSA Security Conference. We absolutely loved the hotel and the view from the 20th floor was fantastic! Guess it’s not that surprising that I took the chance to see all the great bead shops of London!

It has been such a beading heaven! Even in the streets I’ve seen lots of creative beaded jewelry, there must be lots of wonderful people in London who is making jewelry. The whole trip has been such a great experience, so much nice and fun people in we have met.

These are some of the bead strands I bought in the bead shops in London. All the black strands you see are shiny black glass beads. The others are different semi precious gemstone beads like coral, amazonite ( green/blue strand in the middle) and wood jasper. (the light brown strand).

I’m so happy for all these great finds, couldn’t ask for more. It’s a true joy to do bead shopping!

Also wanted to show you the view we had from hotel. This is what we woke up to…
