The Craft Cabin E4

More creative workshop than ordinary gift shop, this family-run business on The Green in Chingford has been championing hands-on making since 2012. Paint your own pottery, build a teddy, design a t-shirt or string together some jewellery, with adult evening craft sessions for grown-ups who fancy a gentler pace. A 4.9 rating from more than 300 reviews suggests the neighbourhood has taken it firmly to heart.
