A Pop-Up Asian Bazaar in London

If you are in London this weekend, come along to Asia House in New Cavendish Street, just North of Oxford Street, to be amazed and amused by multitude of products from across Asia.
 
Jewellery, clothes, homeware, furniture, art, crafts…..you will find it all in this bustling pop-up Asian marketplace.
 
This is a great opportunity to buy unique and unusual artefacts that made their way from the ancient Silk Road to modern London.
I couldn`t resist this massive but light silk necklace, made out of upcycled saris by women-artisans out of New Delhi in India, for a social enterprise  called the House of Wandering Silk  
The annual Fair is hosted in a magnificent Asia House that features beautiful fixtures, like this incredible ceiling.
And if all that rummaging around and shopping makes you peckish, visit a pop-up cafe in the basement`s Gallery for Malaysian Pandan pancakes, or other Asian snacks, tea and coffee.
