On the Grid : Magma

"Whilst the original Magma opened up on Earlham Street back in 2000, it’s the newest, larger shop on Shorts Gardens we like to visit most. On the ground level you’ll find design led books, cool toys and stationery. In the basement level is an ever-changing exhibition space and a brilliant range of magazines, from international fashion favourites to more niche foodie essay collections." - Assembly

One of the best places for quirky gifts, beautiful books, and inspiring design finds. It's an experience in itself, perfect for browsing and discovering unique treasures. Highly recommended!

Always full of beautiful and surprising new publications and items. I try and visit as often as I can to see what's new and find gifts (mostly to myself).

Such a great place for design books, zines, and graphic specimens. They have a very delightful curated selection.

Oops, I got my streets mixed up when I checked in on my Yelp up ... the main Magma store has moved from Earlham Street to larger premises in Shorts Gardens. It still stocks its amazing selection of gifts and books, but somehow it has lost some of its magic. I liked the cramped displays before, now everything is nice and spacious and tidy, giving you too much of an overview at first sight. Mind you, you still find the odd gem here, and I'll definitelly be back ...

This place has lots of very unique design books, gifts, and toys upstairs and a wide selection of design magazines downstairs. It was my favorite find from visiting London.
