This Valentine’s season, one of London’s most iconic bookshops is hosting a free, feel-good event combining words, flowers and creativity. Here are five things you need to know about LEGO Botanicals’ Rose & Prose experience.
1. It takes place at the famous Notting Hill Bookshop
Rose & Prose will be held at the much-loved Notting Hill Bookshop, made famous by the classic romantic film. Located just off Portobello Road, the bookshop provides the perfect setting for a Valentine’s-themed celebration of love letters and thoughtful words.
2. It’s a one-day Valentine’s event in early February
The event takes place on Tuesday 3 February 2026 and runs from 11am to 7pm. It’s an ideal stop-in event for anyone passing through the area, whether you’re planning ahead for Valentine’s Day or just feeling inspired to write something meaningful.
3. You can craft bespoke Valentine’s messages
