Above, the boys' clubhouse from LockStock (1998). In 2006 Paul Smith cheekily nabbed the space on the left (the baddies clubhouse in the film); more diffusiony stuff there than the heavy hitting menswear of his Covent Garden store -he does not miss a trick that guy [nor does Banksy who tagged by the door "this is not a photo opportunity" -ed.] Anyway, love the shambolic-chic (damn, thought i just invented that...) of the LS&2SB bolthole... nautical relics, stolen antiques, lo-fi audio-tech, 60's modern furniture and pony-hides over broken-in leather chairs. I'd put a block and tackle at the peak, but you can imagine the upstairs is wood floored and wide open. You can see Borough Market from here apparently.

One of my favorite movies to watch while nursing a hangover. I feel like sets in British movies have so much more character.
Kind of more of a sale shop than anything else - good place to go if you're looking for a last minute birthday present (great socks, etc). Avery Row is the better outlet for clobber though...
