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.

Thank you so much Julia for helping me put a bag together for my boys while we are isolating. Beautiful books, and DJECO products. Such good service to deliver to us and bring us a morning of delighted kids....plus many more... Happy kids, happy parents x

It’s a lovely haven where imagination and children’s views matter. It’s a magical place where loved stories from the past and adventures for the future meet. Thank-you for offering us a place of beautiful collaboration of mindfulness and imagination.
