I love this store, it is just as a hardware store should be. It is small and absolutely crammed…read morefull of everything you might need. They have never let me down yet. It is a family run business and they really know what they are talking about (even if you don't!). The service is a class above what you will get in a big DIY store. They will find a solution to your problems and they will sell you the best item for your needs, not the dearest. Highly recommended.

This place is a gem - helpful staff ( even 2 women, for the female customers amongst us who…read moresometimes like to have the option to ask another woman about DIY stuff!) and pretty much everything you'll ever need. You pay a hefty premium for the convenience and location though, so be aware that it might well be much cheaper elsewhere. Sometimes though, when you need that vital bit of kit but can't travel to the north circular to get it, I'm happy to pay the extra.

Having recently admitted this strange fact about myself to Tristan J I'm just going to put it out…read morethere to everyone else...I love Homebase. In fact I love any of these DIY-type places. I like the smell of wood, paint and varnish. I like the really tall shelves. I like the kitchen and bathroom units that are on display - a great setting to play house as a child. In fact, when I was a child I would also race around trying to find that aisle that had the doorbells all set up on a wall, wired and ready to be pressed. They don't seem to have them these days, perhaps because they cottoned on that children such as I could spend many a happy hour pressing all of them while their parents strolled around looking at paint. Happy days. This store is cool, fully stocked and the staff are super-friendly and helpful. They even have a lovely Laura Ashley section upstairs, the stuff is soooo beautiful! I have been here a good few times since moving north of the river, for various home improvement bits 'n' bobs and always been able to pick up what I need.
