DO in London: Drink, Shop & Do

I have found a new place that I love. From a girl who grew up crafting with her mom and sisters, to the blogger girl, to the girl who dreams of being a stylist or maybe owning a little creative shop of her own....when I walked into Drink, Shop & Do, it was love at first sight! 
Located in the King's Cross area of London {minutes from my office} I had walked by Drink, Shop & Do many times but had never thought anything of it. Well, recently I have been on a new kick of exploring our city more. I really want to take advantage of every minute and every cool new place there is. While meeting a friend of my sister's from Cleveland recently I thought instead of meeting for a cocktail, lets try this cool place! Luckily there was room left in that evening's Screen Printing class so of course we jumped to sign up! Cocktails and a new custom canvas bag, ummm fun!
 Drink, Shop & Do is a cafe, bar, adorable bespoke craft/gift/cool things shop and a crafty place to "do". They offer everything from screen printing classes, bingo nights, Lionel Richie sculpting class {hahaha}, Vintage Hair & Makeup lessons to Beyonce dance classes! Now this is a place with variety! 
The cafe is full of amazing cakes and sweets, along with coffee drinks going and cocktails being made, it is such a fun new discovery.
Hello, there was a disco ball, a HUGE disco ball in our craft room! You know you can host hen parties here {American gals that is a bachelorette!}. You could make a fascinator or embroidered undies {funny but kind of cute} all while drinking bubbly. 
 We ordered a little charcuterie platter that was of course presented adorably in teacups and a sweet petite four stand. Are you surprised I left loving it here!
I decided to give it a shot at writing my own letters to create a Creme de la Creme bag, inspired by a few items I have seen floating around on Pinterest
My stencil was cut and the ink was pressed, 15 minutes drying and....voila...
LOVING my new bag! Should I start a new Etsy shop? ;) ha. 

I SO recommend this shop/bar/cafe! Jenn and I had such a fun evening chatting girl talk, London expat issues, fun discoveries in the city and learning a new fun thing to do!
