Liz Beardsell

Hi, I'm Liz, I've lived in Hackney, East London, a community I love for the last 20 years. I’ve spent the past decade filling my home with characterful antiques—sourced both locally and from travels abroad. That love of vintage finds eventually became Sundial Store, my own curated homeware business. As a long-time East Londoner, I know exactly where to go to uncover the area’s best antique and vintage homeware shops—many hidden in plain sight. I’ve designed the East London Antiques Walking Tour to share those gems with you, from beautifully worn ceramics to unusual objects and unique pieces of furniture, all in the neighbourhoods I know best. When I'm not sourcing antiques, I also like to write. I have just graduated with a Masters in Creative Writing and I'm working on my first novel. If you wanted to find out even more about me, I also have a storytelling podcast; Diary, She Wrote which has been compiled from my 10,000+ diary entries. There are 24 episodes and each one is a true story mainly focussing on the complexities of sex, modern dating and relationships.
