This Maplins is exceptionally well stocked with every type of electrical thingy you could need. They have hundreds of in stock cables, connectors, etc. This store also had a wide selection of remote controlled cars which was a great present for my nephew. You can also find many computer accessories here. A great store which seems to have taken the place of another one of my favourite stores which are no longer around called Tandy's.

Usually the Maplin stores are carbon copies of each other, but there's something different about…read morethis branch. Firstly, the nice, white colour scheme is not the usual garish post box red. The shelves seem busier and some of the Christmas gift ideas are really good. Who wouldn't enjoy a radio-controlled rat, or mini walkie-talkies with a 5km range? Small Christmas trees made of plastic circuit board catch my eye: you have to build them up yourself and feature LEDs for lights. Being a bit of an electronics geek I always find Maplin to be a good browse, though they are sometimes overpriced. But all the sale shelves in the Putney branch quickly put my mind at ease. A nice and inexpensive gift for a music lover is a box of blank CD-Rs that look like little records. There's also always something for mom, dad, little brother or sister. Maplin Putney always has knowledgeable staff on hand to field more technical questions too.

Unfortunately, I didn't bring any serial cables in my bag of tricks on this trip, so finding myself in need of one concern set in quickly. Fortunately, a local colleague told me about Maplin's and suggested we walk over. This - this is what Radio Shack could have (and should have) become in the US. Good inventory of essential items, and staff who can actually help. I'm a fan, and while I hope to not find myself in such dire straits in the future, at least I now know who to turn to for tech supplies while in London.
