2020 has been a crazy year to say the least.

The global pandemic has had us confined to our homes for most of the year, but lockdown 2.0 is finally over and we want to celebrate.

Meet up socially distanced with your support bubble, go to a pub and most importantly, hit the shops.

Retail has had it tough and to help, Evening Standard has launched its Shop London campaign to get us all to spend our hard earned pennies with small, local and independent businesses across the capital.

Whether you are looking for fashion, beauty, homeware or jewellery, London is packed with some of the best shops around – and this extends to kid’s clothing and essentials.

Get ready to cross the pint-sized person of your Christmas list with our selection of clothing and home brands for the little one in your life that you may not have heard of but should certainly be on your radar.
