Ask Georgina 6 months ago what she would be doing now; a sweet shop certainly wouldn’t be her answer. In fact she had no intention or plans to open a sweet shop. It just sort of … happened.
Sweet Tooth was started in the middle of December 2009 and is the only dedicated sweet shop in the area. So far removed from her visual art and design background, Georgina stumbled across a leaflet from Spacemakers asking to submit ideas for projects and retail businesses to fill an empty shopping area… and the rest is history.
Georgina’s sweet shop, has a modern twist on the traditional sweetie shop, and is in the heart of Brixton. Nestled in between 4th and 2nd Avenue in the Brixton Village. This is the market now hot on everyone’s lips, as the new up and coming space for fashion, art, craft, food and music.
Georgina’s vision to provide ‘all types of sweets for all types of people’, sums up the ethos behind ‘Sweet Tooth’.
So if you take a trip to Sweet Tooth you will find cherry lips, liquorice allsorts, traditional hard-boiled sweets, rhubarb & custard, pear drops, army & navy, some retro favourites, flying saucers, wham bars and amazing sweets from around the globe such as Ghana, Nigeria, America, Australia, The Caribbean, Slovenia, Japan and more”.
“Our customer base and community as a whole is so diverse that we would be doing a disservice if we did not supply sweets that were also a reflection of that. Everyone can participate in the experience and expose themselves to new flavours and tastes, it’s fun and exciting”, says Georgina.
It is very rare to find a shop with such an extensive range of sweets from different countries and has proved very popular with the local community. With favourites amongst the regulars being Tamarind Balls and Paradise Plums from Jamaica.
In addition Sweet Tooth sell books, host a list of activities from create your own sweet work of art, learn how to make love hearts, coconut balls, also offering sweet themed gift ideas, jewellery, sweet shaped cushions, drawing and sweet making competitions.
Sweet Tooth also provide a personalised jar of sweets service, where you can select favourite sweets or try new ones and have them delivered to your desk or door.
