London wandering

A mysterious object - looks vaguely edible -It's a felt necklace - aren't the radishes gorgeous? Discovered at the "at work gallery" near Tate Britain. They have gorgeous jewellery, precious and non-precious (ie made from plastic, cloth, etc and/or recycled objects) - see it on their website.
Next door, Long & Ryle were showing work by Xavier Garces - the drawing of the field of stones in the middle of this photo was quite wonderful (priced at £3000) -
We decided we needed to go to the bead shop in Covent Garden, and as we wandered around Sue spotted this lamp stump
which led to discoveries of others, including this Edwardian(?) lamp post that has been replaced by something "more efficient" -
Covent Garden has lots of shops, of course, and as darkness fell we wandered in and out of them. I was aghast at the price of kids' shoes - £24 for these tiny trendies -
