Lassco Salvage

A while ago i read about Lassco on another blog. I'd never even heard of this treasure trove, despite the fact it is right next door to somewhere i worked for years!


It's right by Vauxhall Station, in an old mansion nestled in between the MI6 building and Vauxhall Bridge. It's packed from attic to basement with architectural salvage and antiques. There are many beautiful things - i fell in love with a copper roll top bath, and some huge dusty military flags - but most of it was well out of my meagre price range, particularly as i don't actually own my bathroom!

However there are also little bits and bobs like tin letters and interesting doorknobs that are more affordable, and, most importantly, a lovely big cafe where you can sit on church pews and enjoy a scone and a coffee!

Thankyou so much for reminding me of this place -- I bookmarked their site ages ago and have always meant to pop 'round. The presence of a cafe is news to me -- even more of a reason to visit, mmm!

Gorgeous photos too, but that goes without saying ;)
