Hello Muswell Hill!
Posted on 6 November 2012
Last weekend we officially opened the doors of our new store in Muswell Hill (and we think it looks rather lovely). We've designed a whole new shop, and handy little shopping bags to go with our shiny new venue. We're overjoyed to have finally moved in!
In the run-up to the opening we held a competition over Twitter to try and find out just what makes our new neighbourhood so lovely. We asked people to tweet us why they #LoveMuswellHill and had suggestions coming in thick and fast. It turns out that there are a lot of reasons to love Muswell Hill (not that we ever doubted this). Here are just some of our favourites.
Many enthusiastic residents have led us to believe that Muswell Hill actually has everything:
@emilyflump: #LoveMuswellHill what's not to love! Views, nice people, nice shops and good food!
@franwen I #LoveMuswellHill because it it feels like a village in London and it's got everything, you don't need to go anywhere else
Apparently Muswell Hill is just so far ahead of the crowd that it's 'post-cool':
@APlender I love Muswell Hill because it doesn’t care about being cool. It's post-cool. And all the richer for it!
@issa_adam Beautiful, quiet, best views in London and filled with old hippies. #LoveMuswellHill
Muswell Hill, a village in London:
@StevieFM I #LoveMuswellHill because it's one of the few parts of London that actually feels like a small neighbourhood community
@MissN10London Love the independent shops (and their keepers!) & village atmosphere #LoveMuswellHill
And of course, as we have learnt over the past few weeks, Muswell Hill is filled with digitally-connected, social media savvy whizzes:
@MuswellHillNews I love Muswell Hill because it has so many different ways about telling what’s happening via Twitter and The internet.
Some people even told us that they love Muswell Hill because we were moving there (we feel flattered, really guys) but we've got to admit that the lovely community atmosphere in the area is what makes us so happy to have moved onto Muswell Hill Broadway. We'll be in good company with plenty of other independents and family businesses, just like ours to make us feel right at home.
Thank you for filling our shop and helping to make such a success of our first weekend of trading! We hope to see you all on Muswell Hill Broadway soon, and don't forget to claim your 15% off voucher for Christmas tasting on November 10th.
