An Opinionated Guide To Make London Book

Step away from the screen and pick up some tools — An Opinionated Guide to Make London is here to inspire your next creative obsession. This pocket-sized paperback features 55 of the capital’s most exciting craft and making spaces, from risograph studios and woodwork shops to hand-thrown pottery, weaving, screen-printing and more.

Written by design journalist Riya Patel, it’s ideal for total beginners, seasoned makers, and anyone in need of a hands-on reset. Each listing is smart, selective, and full of practical info, with a “best for…” section that helps you figure out what’s worth your time. Whether you’re looking for a Saturday workshop, a new regular ritual, or just something to do that isn’t doomscrolling, this book has your back.

Beautifully photographed, thoughtfully edited, and carbon neutral, it’s a celebration of London’s creative scene and the joy of making things — slowly, intentionally, and with people who care about good design.

Because crafting isn’t just for kids and Pinterest mums. It's for anyone who wants to make something real.
