POP TO THE SHOPS: Locals living in Bowes Park have great hopes for their rather special little Victorian high street, Myddleton Road. They know it’s destined for great things, with some very pretty original shop architecture, friendly community and proximity to the rail network. It’s just a question of time. 
One of the latest shops to enhance the street is Ruby’s Cave, selling vintage and previously loved furniture and decorative items. The intrepid owners love to scour the land in search of interesting items for their growing band of loyal customers. Our Linda lives around the corner and has charmed the lads with her smile and enthusiastic purchasing of paintings and furniture. Pop down on the weekend and afterwards take a coffee break at The Step, a popular bistro and café which is the hub of the local community.
Ruby’s Cave, 66 Myddleton Road, N22 8NW Tel: 07712 728158. Open nearly all the time.
