London as home, for Londoners, former Londoners and the many people who belong to London and somewhere else at the same time.
London is a city people belong to in layers. You can be from south of the river and from Colombo, from a particular postcode and from another continent, and nobody finds this strange. A Sri Lankan Londoner carries two places at once, and that feeling is what Ceylon Trends is built on.
These designs are for London as it is lived. Grey skies taken personally. A café you would defend to strangers. The quiet pride of knowing a shortcut.
The London designs draw on rainy-day humour, neighbourhood typography, café life, hand-drawn skylines and simple "London is home" messages. The tone is dry and affectionate, like the city.
Everything is original. We do not use transport symbols or map styles, football clubs, crests or royal imagery, and we check slogans before printing. London has more than enough character without borrowing anyone's logo.
Designs are sampled and checked before they are listed, so the range arrives slowly and properly. For now, begin with our guide to gifts for someone who has left London, for the friend abroad who still complains about the weather somewhere they no longer live. London is part of our United Kingdom hub.
