London Stationery Show

A source of inspiration

London Stationery Show, the UK’s only trade show dedicated to writing and paper products, returns from 17-18 May at the Business Design Centre

Visitors to the London Stationery Show (LSS) return year after year to source products from their favourite suppliers, discover something new for their store, and find inspiration to help their business grow. The 2022 show is set to be the best yet, with thousands of products on show at the Business Design Centre in Islington, London.

Event director Alex Butler says: “We understand how busy stationery industry professionals are, so our main goal at LSS is to provide a productive environment for both brands and buyers to forge connections and create partnerships that will last. Our carefully selected range of exhibitors cover all areas, so whether you’re an independent or a department store, luxury or mass market, you’ll find something for you at the show.”
