Paul Smith @ the Borough Market

Yesterday I walked past this Paul Smith store (13 Park Street) quietly hidden away in a small street next to the Borough Market. The vibrant green paint contrasts nicely with the bleak surroundings the store sits in.  I don't think there is a second clothing store in this little area. According to his website, Paul Smith opened a store here because he loves this neighborhood.

13 Park Street along with its next door neighbor 15 Park Street are featured in Guy Ritchie's film "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels". 

Apparently when it comes to film locations, this neighborhood is a directors' favorite: it also appeared in films including Entrapment, Howards End, Bridget Jones' Diary, the French Lieutenant's Women, and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azakaban.
