Modern Metropolis on Garrett Lane in SW London specialises in post-war designer furniture, sofas, chairs, tables, storage, lighting and art. They have an awesome stock that changes every time I go in there. It’s run by a lovely guy called Chris who can also help you track down that special piece you’ve been hunting for 10 years!
