The Best New Shop: Talisman

Housed in a sprawling, three-storey art deco building that was once a garage, this is a shop with a difference.  It’s all in the mix: you’ll find a huge range of vintage pieces that span centuries – art deco tables and 17th-century Swedish mirrors sit alongside mid-20th-century Lucite lamps and glam 1950s lacquer cabinets.  Beware though, you could easily lose an afternoon here.
