I enjoyed my snoop around the Summerill and Bishop Shop while exploring Elizabeth Street in Belgravia last week. The store is dedicated to helping customers create a stunning table display with beautiful table linens, tableware, glassware and serveware. They also sell homeware accessories and decorative accessories, including vases, cushions and candles. The store was founded by friends June Summerill and Bernadette Bishop, who believe that a well-dressed table can help you enjoy memorable moments with friends and family. If you relish sitting down for a meal around your dinner table, you will love this tableware shop. It’s also a great place to buy wedding gifts and housewarming presents.
Tableware
Summerill and Bishop Shop Elizabeth Street Review
This is a compact store, but it has plenty of delightful products to admire. Summerill and Bishop have a reputation for table linens, including linen tablecloths and napkins. The tablecloth collection features contemporary, classic and laid-back styles with patterns or plain colours. Look out for Bernadette’s Hand Stamped Falling Flower designs which are super cute. Other options are stripes, blossom, hydrangea, zebra, cubism and handwritten menus. Coordinate your tablecloth with proper napkins. I particularly like the alphabet napkins so that each family member can have their own. Don’t forget to purchase some napkin rings made from porcelain or handwoven orchids.
Linen Tablecloths
The tableware collection includes everything you could want for meal occasions and special dinner parties. Products include dinnerware, serveware, cutlery, glassware and placemats. The key brands are HB Ceramics, Astier de Villatte and Laboratorio Paravicini, and handblown glassware from Italy. The idea is to create a tablescape that suits your home or personality. If you don’t have the time or imagination to handpick your tableware, you can purchase an entire table setting for 6-12 people curated by Summerill and Bishop. If you visit the website, you can read plenty of articles about creating the perfect dinner table. Better still, pop into the shop, and you can ask questions and see the products in person.
Table Setting
The homeware accessories range from vases to candelabras and cushions. Many products are from the Summerill and Bishop collection, including tablecloths, napkins, dinner plates, stainless steel cutlery, cushions, hand soap, gift wrap paper and cards.
Tableware Products
If you want to buy a small housewarming gift for a friend, you might like the tea towels, aprons or placemats. Alternatively, you can purchase one of the Summerill and Bishop Gift Boxes comprising hand soap, candles, tea towels, vases and other lovely home accessories and tableware items.
