On your next trip to Borough Market, pop round to Southwark Cathedral, where you'll find this mega Dr Who-style tardis. We love its futuristic origami design. It was created as part of Time and Tides, a sweet project that gave London school children the chance to have their time-machine designs made real by teams of architects. The original plan for the pictured pod, by Huw Bennett and Tim Greeny, was a folded piece of paper. Once inside the pod, you can watch animated films put together by the children, with the help of the BBC. Silly, strange and slightly surreal, it shows what happens if you put the kids in charge.

Perhaps one of the most beautiful stores in Europe, Dries Van Noten's boutique on the Seine shouldn't be missed. It is a visual feast, and inspiring beyond belief. The interior is based around Dries's favourite colour - imperial yellow - and the sunny hue covers everything from the designer's lookbook to his curtains.

The famed Porte de Clignancourt flea market in Paris consists of much more than antique furniture. Vintage clothing treasures are scattered throughout the famous market, you've just got to know where to look. On a recent visit, we discovered Isabelle Klien's vintage fashion store, Les Merveilles de Babellou. Filled with standout pieces, this Chanel jacket was a great find.
