About 40 Green Street

Hello! We’re 40 Green Street — Cambridge’s quirkiest little lifestyle store.
Tucked away on one of the city’s prettiest cobbled streets, we’re an independent shop bursting with curated, design-led treasures. From playful homeware to unexpected gifts, there’s something here to surprise and delight.

What we do

We’re all about beautiful things with a story. We champion indie makers, ethical brands, and artisan products you won’t find on the high street. Whether you’re looking for a thoughtful gift, a new favourite mug, or a quirky addition to your home, you’ll find something special here.

Why we do it

Because life’s too short for boring stuff. We believe in shopping small, supporting local, and filling homes with things that make you smile. Sustainability matters too — so you’ll find plenty of Fairtrade, eco-friendly and handmade pieces on our shelves.

Meet our team

Welcome to your new favourite corner of home joy – an independent gift and homewares store brimming with colour, charm, and personality, hosted by mother and daughter team, Wendy and Evan. We champion British-made and artisan-crafted pieces that make a statement – the kind that turn heads and spark smiles.

Every item in our curated collection is chosen to delight interior lovers and dopamine decor devotees alike. Inspired by vivid memories of youthful travels through Asia and a lifelong love of eclectic treasures, we bring you playful, soulful pieces that celebrate craft, culture, and colour.

Whether you're looking to brighten a corner or gift something unforgettable, we’re here to help you fill your home with stories, joy, and a little bit of wonderful weird.
