For an area to know that it has officially made middle class respectability, many tests can be…read moreperformed. It is therefore with a sigh that Wimbledon residents can breathe a sigh of relief that Lakeland has decided to grace the Centre Court Shopping Centre with one of their latest store openings Being a keen cook, it is nice to have access to Lakeland's specialist kitchenware locally. They do cater to the masses with popular lines like tapping into the cupcake craze but they do also sell stuff like silicone baking sheets, which would interest more adventurous cooks Everything is laid out in a dangerously appealing and inviting manner, meaning that in a moment of weakness, you may find yourself walking out with an ice cream cone maker - incidentally £29.99 for the waffle iron and £3.95 for the cone mould around which you shape your hot waffle. And no, I didn't walk out with one though I was interested to see it They are a little pricey compared to professional kitchenware companies but I applaud them for making an extra level of cooking accessible to the general public. The staff are keen to help, so do pick their brains if you need any help or advice Incidentally, it's nice to see a new store opening in Wmbledon after a spate of recent retail shop closures. Long live the high street!

Seeing that Lakeland had opened a location in Wimbledon made me incredibly happy. For a gal who has…read morea penchant for homemaking-type-adventures, this place is like Mecca. Bakeware, cookware, canning supplies, household cleaning & gadgets, and all the little things for your kitchen in particular that you never knew you needed. Lakeland is like magic. I particularly like that they carry cake decorating tools, dyes, flavors, etc. for far less cost than other London outlets (such as Jane Asher). They offer the Star Kay White line of oils & flavors to the UK (which I believe is exclusive due to the dual-branded labeling). Very friendly staff members here as well. So glad to know this location is nearish to me! I will most definitely be back whenever I'm in need of kitchen goodies!

This store is a great place for housewares at a reasonable price. They also sell a lot of personal…read morecare items. I picked up some make up removal wipes for a mere 50p! What a deal. The store is clean and organized. The signage is good and things are easy to find. They could use more staff on the floor but other than that I really have no complaints. Oh they could also use more cashiers.

With all due respect to other stores in the London area these guys are not only great on price but have a very admirable no nonsense style which is very welcome.

I recently re-fitted by bathroom and kitchen and bought all my tiles from Capitol Ceramics. Their…read moretiles are beautiful and although they're more expensive than the likes of Tops Tiles the service you get and the quality is worth the extra money. I even used one of the recommended tilers to do the work and he was excellent. Quentin who runs the Fulham Tile showroom was a great help in advising me of the right colour scheme and matching up my tiles with the right paints and cabinets. I don't have much of an eye when it comes to design stuff so i put my faith in his hands and it turned out brilliantly.
