Anyway, here's a nice cosy corner to sit in. Perfect for gremlins to perch on while concocting ways to utterly derange our WiFi.

Small victories - we now have a card machine that works, a phone that rings and a door buzzer that buzzes. I ask myself, is this what efficiency looks like?
gentle friends we are still setting a few things up in the new premises, so you may find that your phone calls won't connect, or are answered by sinister static, or by the ghost of henry sotheran, please use email and other less haunted communication methods in the meantime
Bye bye Sackville Street- here's a very tired crew about to embark on a well-deserved evening of beer and darts.
Thomas, Dave and Maria. Family portrait
Clock and owl - a study in faintly oval things in their new home.
Shelves finished, dog gone (doggone!). Feels like we're nearly there, friends.
Shelf update - doors on, hallucinogenic aroma of dark wax
Thank you to The Mayfarer magazine for this action shot of the last few days.
Look on my works ye mighty and despair... the clock is off the facade, the move is suddenly all too real. It took 4 Sotheranians and 2 very kind passing builders to get it down. We couldn't have done it without them. Restores your faith in humanity.
From one of our customers comes this image of a lovely map by Herry Perry (1897-1962). That big red circle is almost exactly above our new premises at 18 Upper Brook Street. Spooky!
please forward all gift skeletons to our new address
