South London Letterpress brings you the most beautiful, whimsical, funny, sassy, original and interesting hand-printed stationery. I'd love to hear from you!

South London Letterpress is run by Karen Silcock, with a medical background as a midwife in Surrey, she decided she wanted to do something creative and design-focused for her next project. Karen fell for the beautiful, whimsical letterpress stationery she was seeing on her travels and from independent printers here in the UK. Nowadays, she is on a mission to bring letterpress stationery to the London community where we live, play, and, of course, write letters. Karen is based in Clapham, the heart of busy, family-focused South London, and soon she will be turning up all over the South, as well as other parts, so keep your eyes open. Karen really enjoys sharing her finds with customers at school fairs and online, and she would love to hear from you. She also loves meeting makers and printers -- their commitment to craft and the pleasures of writing good old fashioned snail mail is inspiring. Please do let her know if you see something here that you are interested in, or if there is a printer where you are who should be on her site. Karen X

Today is the 4th day of Spirit of Christmas, at Olympia London, and we are open for late night shopping until 9pm tonight!

🎄We’ve had a fantastic 3 days so far as we have sold out of a few items already, including your favourite Bridge Pencil sets! So sorry! Hopefully more are on their way soon…

🎄My NEW Skier notecards have been very well received too, but are now very low on stock… Same as the paper crown sets which have flown off the shelves!

🎄I’m hoping to get around to see the rest of the show today, so I’ll show you some of my finds on stories later!

🎄Thank you to all of you who have visited and said hello, it really is lovely to see you!

🎄Let me know if you are planning to visit and what you are looking for - maybe you are coming for a browse and a catch up with friends, a little day out? Don’t forget to go up stairs to visit the food & drink section, to taste samples, there’s a great preserve stand up there called
