Hackney
Our store and studio is located in London Fields, Hackney. Our address is Earl of East London - 5a Gransden Avenue, London, E8 3QA

We are a 2 minute walk from London Fields station and a 7 minute walk from Hackney Central Station. The Victoria line and the overground are the best links from Central London. There are plenty of bus stops on Mare Street, right by the studio.

this is our flagship store, located within the Coal Drops Yard shopping district. We are on the viaduct level between Cos and LPOL. The store address is 87 Coal Drops Yard, London, N1C 4DQ

We are a 10 minute walk from Kings Cross St Pancras,, follow signs from the station, you will enter the development via Granary Square and our store can we found via the way finding maps located around the development. 

We have space to accommodate workshop attendees only as we aim for our guests to feel involved during our workshops. We do have a coffee seating areas situated at our stores, both neighbourhoods have lots to do, if you friend or partner wants to wait for you whilst you enjoy the class. 

We ask our guests to attend a Beginner’s workshop before jumping into the Blend Your Own class, this ensures everyone already has the foundation skills of candle making and any questions asked will have hopefully been answered in the first class.

Your candle will need to set overnight in our studio. You can then pop by and collect your candle within 2 weeks of your workshop, or we can send your candle to you with signed delivery.

You will have a choice of 2 contrasting scents from our core range during your workshop.

On arrival you will receive a glass of Prosecco and water. You can of course buy a hot beverage from our coffee bar within bonds. Hackney. As for food, we do not serve any food in-store. 

We are surrounded by lots of great coffee shops and markets. Earl of East started out at Netil Market, just off Mare Street, this is a great market for food and treasures. On a Saturday Broadway Market offers brilliant street food, this is a 5 minute walk through London Fields park. 

Both Hackney & Kings Cross are Wheelchair accessible

Both our Beginner’s and Blend Your Own workshops last approximately 90 minutes. We ask for you to arrive 5 minutes early to ensure we can start on time and get candle making!

Unfortunately we can’t accept late comers under any circumstances, so please do arrive 5- 10 minutes early.

We have plenty of oils to offer so you won’t need to bring your own.

For the Beginner’s class we only pour in our signature amber jar vessel. However, if you wanted to bring your own vessel to the Blend Your Own workshop, just let us know in advance so we can choose which wick would be compatible with your size vessel.

We offer refreshments in our Beginner’s class & you can purchase hot drinks from our coffee bar. As for food, we'd recommend not bringing anything along, as it's a pretty hands-on experience. 

We do have a bathroom accessible to our workshop guests in Hackney, in Coal Drops Yard we have public toilets on site.
