When we launched UKKO, we tried to come up with a unique way of naming our clothing. Being a British label born in London, we wanted our garment names to be relevant and reflect the brand. Brainstorming over a beer in staff favourite The Rocket, one of the guys suggested naming them all after our favourite streets & places in London. Genius.
So, our brief guide to "UKKO London" is below. Some are well known, others are hidden gems you've probably never heard of... either way we highly recommend you visit them all at least once...
Avery
Avery Row is without doubt the best "Row" in London. Set in the heart of Mayfair, it's not only a handy short-cut from South Molton St to New Bond St, but it boasts one of the best independent clothes stores in London, Oscar Milo. If you fancy a lazy bottle of wine, we suggest you stay a while at The Rocket bar, just off Avery. Good for food, drink and a long night...

Crispin
Surrounded by a fine display of our Victorian heritage, Crispin Street is adjacent to the famous Spitalfields Market which boasts a whole host of independent shops, cafes, bars and award winning restaurants like Canteen, Galvin La Chapell and Giraffe. Don a "Crispin Polo" and take a wander round the Market on a Friday morning.

Hoxton
Hoxton is in Shoreditch... 2 spots that'll need no introduction to those of you who know where to be seen. It offers a variety of trendy bars, nightclubs, restaurants, galleries and more. By the end of the 90's, the locals were known for their sense of style and fashion and it didn't stop there.. it's now one of the most fashionable spots in the UK. Go for a late cocktail at The Hoxton Hotel if you can get in.
