Boho shops

This is for 70s/80s MNers though also poss from 60s.

In Streatham there was a small boho shop selling ethnic wares and boho clothes, on Leigham Court Road, it had the painting of a woman with curly hair and sunflowers on the wall above it. Off the high street there was a small gift and card shop called Abraxus. In Battersea on roads coming off Northcote Road going up, say past Salcott Road there was another boho shop. In Gipsy Hill/West Norwood there was a little shop but part house (flat on top) that was boho ethnic. I used to love looking around these shops when I was younger. Guess the hippies have moved on.

But does anyone recall shops like these? Non commercial. Very counter culture. Smelling of incense, and maybe weed!
