Framed prints of London are perfect gifts.

Framed prints are great gifts. For the man or woman who has everything a reminder of a time or a place can be the perfect gift. A number of our clients have given our prints to colleagues for retirement and leaving presents.

The print of Paris above was given as a retirement present. You can see this print here. They included our professional hanging service so when we delivered it we put it up on the wall for them. One of the most popular gifts has been the print below. My studio in London at one time was very close to Clapham common. It’s a colour print of Clapham common bandstand in the autumn.

For a number of years we supplied prints to Twentieth Century Fox who would give prints to their talent as gifts. In Clapham near my old studio there is a school and at the end of the year parents would often buy gifts for their teachers as leaving gifts.You can see this print in the London colour gallery here.

Albert Bridge has always been a popular print. It’s such a significant landmark for South Londoners that it’s a safe choice for a present. The print above was also popular with the teachers. Gifts for colleagues is often left until the last minute and given to them on the day they leave. We keep a few of the more popular framed prints in stock just in case we need one to send out a short notice. Mostly it takes about 10 days to produce one of our prints from scratch.
