Welcome to Ottie and the Bea
We are an independent children's shop, based in Blackheath in South East London, which was established in 2010 by owner Julia. The shop is named after her two daughters. Ottie and the Bea offers a curated selection of toys, books, gifts, party supplies and tableware - all of which is hand selected by Julia. Everything in the shop is centred around Julia's passion for imaginative play and creativity, two things that she believes are key to childhood.
And we have just opened a second shop in Framlingham- do come and visit :-)
