Jackson’s Art Supplies is located in the north part of the borough of Hackney in East London, on the border of Dalston and Stoke Newington. The borough of Hackney has the highest concentration of artists in Europe. So this makes a fine location!

Although Jackson’s is primarily a mail order supplier of art materials if you wish to handle your paints then you might want to try coming into the shop. Our shop counter is a “hidden gem” according to local artists and it feels like “being a kid in a sweet shop” to wander our aisles. Some people particularly like our old Victorian building down a cobbled cul-de-sac.

Our opening hours are Monday to Friday 9:00 to 5:00 and 10:00 to 4:00 on Saturday.

Almost all of the employees of Jackson’s are artists themselves so you should be able to get some advice on a material you haven’t used before.

We have a huge selection of paints, brushes, pencils, pastels, paper and canvas, though a few of the items in our jam-packed catalogue are kept at our other warehouse. So you may want to ring ahead if you are after a specific item. Phone: 0844 499 8430

The Chocolate Factory N16 studios are our neighbours.

  1. Hello I Julie,
    I recently found an original pies af art in
    my father’s keepsakes. It appears to be a
    still life painted by an artist “Gibbons”
    There is the number29 bellow the name.
    It was framed in Stoke Newington by an
    Art Store. Roche fit is the name and it
    had an address of 76 High Street in
    Stoke Newington. Does it still exist? My
    other quest is “Do you know anything
    about this artist?

    1. Hi Andrew
      That sounds exciting!
      No, I’m afraid that framer must be long gone.
      The 29 is probably the year 1929.
      I did a quick google search for “Gibbons painter 1929” and a few possibilities came up, but none sound quite right.
      Good luck in your search, it should be good fun!
