* [http://www.paintworks.biz/index/index.php Paintworks] Nearest to the Space, on Kingsland Road. Don't know anything more about it [[User:Akki14|Akki14]] ([[User talk:Akki14|talk]]) Extremely good for its size, often with good deals on short-dated paint or ink.

* [http://www.atlantisart.co.uk/ Atlantis Art] is a large warehouse-sized art shop with all kinds of things. Probably not cheapest for things like liquid latex, silicone moulding materials etc but it's there and it's reasonably priced for large sheets of paper, melinex (laserable clear sheet - useful for stencils), higher quality art supplies etc. | * [http://www.atlantisart.co.uk/ Atlantis Art] is a large warehouse-sized art shop with all kinds of things. Probably not cheapest for things like liquid latex, silicone moulding materials etc but it's there and it's reasonably priced for large sheets of paper, melinex (laserable clear sheet - useful for stencils), higher quality art supplies etc. One thing that caught me out - they have a vast selection of airbrush media but no hardware ! | ||
** Atlantis was most recently near Old St and prior to various locations around Whitechapel and Brick Lane. Now moved to a bigger space in London Fields. It's a whole yard with parking etc. | ** Atlantis was most recently near Old St and prior to various locations around Whitechapel and Brick Lane. Now moved to a bigger space in London Fields.

* [http://www.cassart.co.uk/shops_01.htm Cass Art] nearest branch is probably Islington. The "large" shop in Islington isn't as big as Atlantis. Range is slightly less upmarket than Atlantis as well. Know your prices before going - a lot of it claims to be cheaper than retail but actually isn't cheapest available elsewhere. | * [http://www.cassart.co.uk/shops_01.htm Cass Art] nearest branch is probably Islington.

* [http://www.cowlingandwilcox.com/ourshops.aspx Cowling & Wilcox] branches nearest/easiest to get to from the Space would be Shoreditch High Street & Soho. A mix of art supplies and craft supplies. Middle of the road for quality/prices. | * [http://www.cowlingandwilcox.com/ourshops.aspx Cowling & Wilcox] branches nearest/easiest to get to from the Space would be Shoreditch High Street & Soho.

* [http://www.falkiners.com/ Shepherds Falkiners] in Victoria. The best selection of retail paper in London, with helpful knowledgeable staff. If you need large quantities, then there are paper selectors from Antalis and GF Smith on the arts & crafts shelves, but for 1-10 sheets or for art tissue/handmade paper, Falkiners is the best place there is. | * [http://www.falkiners.com/ Shepherds Falkiners] in Victoria.
