Great shop for pens in Clerkenwell

There's an arts and craft shop not far from where I work that's a little gem and well worth a visit: Stuart R Stevenson 68 Clerkenwell Road, London, EC1M 5QA Telephone: 020 7253 1693

As you'd expect they have a vast range of artist's supplies, craft materials and other such eye-candy but they also have a great range of fountain pens, inks and notebooks. When I last popped in their range included:

  • Caran d'Ache pens, 'Colours of the Earth' ink range and their standard inks
  • Faber Castell pens
  • Moleskine notebooks
  • Parker pens and inks
  • Pelikan Future and Pelikano fountain pens
  • Pelikan inks (including some of the more obscure bottles)
  • Pilot pens - including the Vanishing Point, Pluminix, Birdie
  • Porsche Design pens
  • Rotring pens
  • Sheaffer Javelin fountain pens - I'd not see these before
  • Sheaffer Skrip ink
  • Waterman pens and inks

They don't stock the whole range from each manufacturer, but they do have an interesting and varied line up. A few things that you don't always see elsewhere - such as the Pelikan Future and the Pilot Pluminix.

I just hope I don't turn into the nutter who wanders in every lunch hour and simply stares at the displays.
