Earl of East

Scent takes centre stage at this Bethnal Green/Shoreditch home goods store, the London outpost of a fragrance and lifestyle brand whose candles, incense, reed diffusers and bath products carry evocative names like Shinrin-Yoku and Smoke & Musk. Café culture inspires part of the range — there's a dedicated Café Collection, and the Milk Bun line has made a return — while workshops (private sessions included) and collaborations with the likes of Sampha and Kevin Morby add a creative streak. The entrance is wheelchair-accessible, and the doors stay open seven days a week.
