I will probably spend more time shopping, and plan to visit Fetters for BDSM gear and What Katie Did for lingerie. Any other must-shop places?


Hello Mistress Genesis,

The main difference between sessioning in the UK vs USA in my opinion is the law. I know legalities differ from state to state with some places being stricter than others. But in the UK you're pretty much ok. No one out here uses the referencing system much. And one thing you'll have to watch out for is the unfortunate but extreme volume of timewasters. Find a way to take a deposit and operate a strict no deposit = no session rule.

As for shops, I hope you have a slave footing the bill! London is super expensive and with the exchange rate on the dollar, you will probably find every thing expensive.

Economics aside, I recommend the following:

- Regulation near Angel tube: they carry Fetters products, and although they are aimed at the male market, they will have all the impliments you'll need. It reminds me a lot of Mister S in SF

- Libidex near Covent Garden tube: great selection of "off the peg" latex and great staff who will chat and tell you what's going on in London

- Coco de Mer also Covent Garden: kind of like a high end BDSM boudoir selling lingerie and and kink friendly fashion. Pricey.

- there are countless other latex shops to hit: Atskudo, Breathless, Honour and more...

Hope that helps!

Bxx
