Discover more about ChicChoiceHub
Historic Standard Hill Setting
Perched on Standard Hill, ChicChoiceHub occupies a prime spot in Nottingham's Castle ward, where King Charles I raised his royal standard in 1642, igniting the English Civil War. This elevated location overlooks the city and connects to the former site of Nottingham General Hospital, demolished in 2002 after centuries of service. The surrounding architecture echoes this legacy, with remnants like the Rotunda—once a Jubilee Wing ward designed by Alfred Waterhouse—and Royal Standard House, a 1923 nurses' home built as a World War I memorial. Amid these layered histories, the shop stands as a modern portal to Eastern worlds.Exotic Oriental Collections
Inside ChicChoiceHub, shelves brim with oriental goods sourced from across Asia, showcasing the finesse of traditional craftsmanship. Expect vibrant silk scarves from China, hand-painted Japanese porcelain, Thai silk cushions, and Indian brassware that catch the light with intricate engravings. The inventory emphasizes quality over quantity, featuring items like jade ornaments, lacquerware boxes, and bamboo fans that evoke far-off markets. Each piece tells a story of cultural artistry, from Ming dynasty-inspired vases to contemporary fusion designs blending East and West.Cultural Bridge in Nottingham
Nottingham's multicultural fabric enhances ChicChoiceHub's appeal, drawing from the city's industrial past in lace-making and its present as a vibrant university hub. Standard Hill's proximity to Nottingham Castle and the Lace Market places the shop at the heart of heritage trails, where visitors seek souvenirs beyond the typical. The boutique caters to locals and tourists alike, offering goods that reflect Asia's diverse traditions—Buddhist incense holders, Korean celadon pottery, and Vietnamese lanterns—fostering a sense of global connection in this historic English enclave.Intimate Shopping Experience
The shop's compact layout encourages leisurely browsing, with displays arranged to highlight thematic groupings: zen garden elements, festive decorations, and personal adornments. Natural light filters through windows framing views of Standard Hill's Georgian facades, creating an atmosphere of serene discovery. Knowledgeable staff share insights into provenance and care, turning purchases into meaningful acquisitions. Whether seeking a unique tea set or aromatic spices, shoppers leave with items that infuse everyday life with Eastern elegance.Legacy of Craftsmanship
Oriental goods at ChicChoiceHub honor age-old techniques passed through generations, from cloisonné enameling in Vietnam to batik dyeing in Indonesia. These artifacts contrast sharply with Nottingham's own craft heritage, like the nearby warehouses of the Lace Market, underscoring a timeless human drive for beauty. The shop subtly educates on sustainable sourcing where possible, prioritizing artisans who maintain ethical practices amid globalization. This fusion of history and culture makes every visit a mini voyage.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
