"In case of emergency"…read more Now hold your panties, this place is brilliant! Took me a while to realize it was some kind of treasury. Okay, this might not be the wild stuff you're expecting when thinking of a city trip to London, but I got me some new knickers. Almost a complete new knicker wardrobe in 1 whammy...12 knickers to be precise. Paid 33 pounds only. Proper brands too...DKNY. Gilly Hicks? Marilyn Monroe intimates? Jessica Simpsons intimates? Anyways, DKNY, they've got it! You see it's been a while since I got new undies. It's been so long actually, I was starting to get worried about being hit by a bus and having being undressed on the operating table. Give a whole new meaning to wardrobe malfunction. The horror! If getting new knickers is enough to get me excited, imagine the ecstasy I experienced when I had to decide which pair was going to be the first 1 to wear after throwing them in the washing machine. Ow JOY... We're getting there. Next step is color coordinating top & bottom...

Classy menswear shop, the staff were a pretty funny bunch. They made the shopping experience more…read moreenjoyable. The shop itself however wasn't very busy but this just further demanded more attention on me , which I can't complain about. Didn't however find anything that really took my fancy.

was in Matalan in Gallions reach today. I couldn't buy a baby comforter for £5 without telling them…read moremy email address. My baby was crying so I was holding the baby and trying to calm him down. I was standing in the queue for 10 minutes because just one person was working at the checkout . I have prepared £5 ahead. They wanted me to spend more time with a crying baby because they couldn't sell me a comforter for cash without the email. I left the shop totally disappointed without the comforter. No more shopping in Matalan.

As chains go, this is not one of the worst out there, but this one... hmmm!…read more One of the bigger stores, but there just wasn't anything in there! I know that might sound a little odd, and I don't mean that it was empty, but there was nothing worth even looking at, no less purchasing. That said I wouldn't not go in another branch, but one, this particular shops was a mess and two, it was not forthcoming in the children's school shirts department for which, we visited in there in the first place! My intention is not to put anybody off all Matalans, as it's not a bad place for basic essentials like cheap hosiery, however be sure to only pop into this one if you have exhausted all other resources.

I like M&S...I mean REALLY like M&S…read more The food quality is always on point. In all the years I've shopped here I have never had a bad food product and I have been to many M&S outlets. This one in Lewisham is good, not the best and that is only for 1 minor thing. The salt caramel yoghurt. Oh no, it was not bad - in fact, it was the most brilliant yoghurt I had in years...but they stopped stocking it! What the, what?!?!? I notice this happens from time-to-time at M&S; they get a brilliant product that flies off the shelves - okay, I probably dropped a good chunk of money stocking up on that yoghurt alone - only to discontinue it. What a shame. Other than that, this one is convenient and most welcome in the Lewisham area which is going through a regeneration of sorts along with Catford. It isn't my local but so glad it is here; when my nearest M&S is out of something, I can hop on the DLR for this location. Friendly & helpful staff. They always seem to be tidying the place, which is a good thing. Recently added bakery with soft baked pretzels (reminiscent of Philly soft pretzels), scones and different breads. Upstairs is the home furnishings sections, although it is a bit lackluster. Downstairs is the food hall, clothing and kitchen wares. Well done Lewisham M&S

The relatively modestly sized M&S in Lewisham is not quite like any other I've ever visited…read more Sprawling rather narrowly from the DLR side entrance of the shopping centre, out onto the high street, this one floor store manages to incorporate a little of what you fancy from most of M&S' sizeable range. And boy does it do you good. Focussing on women rather than men, much of the front section is devoted to lingerie and nightwear. And it's pretty comprehensive - despite the relative small size of this M&S, it's hardly half-hearted, and a huge range of sizes is in constant stock. You're unlikely to find much of the more premium ranges, but if your modus operandii for the day is I must find a bra in my size, then you are highly unlikely to fail. There's a small nod towards shoes and toiletries in the middle section (if you take a size 5, forget it. Go home and order online), and towards the back of the store we have food and womenswear. The food section is often surprisingly sparse, but from the long but swift moving queues (full marks to the till staff, who manage to be chatty and interested - particularly to the elderly - but keep things moving), this could be because the shelves are voraciously denuded by shoppers rather than a lack of stock. A lot of the wearable smart casual range is shoehorned into the remainder of the store. Nothing particularly fancy, but with what small space there is, the store manager (or whoever takes the decisions on what to stock and how) has played a blinder.

Fashionable and trendy, Bunka has a fantastic collection of mid price fashion with labels including…read moreSnob and Golddigger. The buyer has great taste and the clothes are always stylish and on trend. Whilst it isn't cheap, there is also usually a sale rail where you can get bargains and there are gifts, cards and accessories. There is a small mens section which is also great. The staff are friendly and not pushy and it has a really open vibe with good music.

Situated just a stones throw from forest hill station is this independent boutique which has…read moreclothes, accessories and homewares from well known brands as well as more obscure names. The shop packs in its merchandise although there is still room to brose. The perfect place to pop into if you have a birthday coming up as you can find something original that won't break the bank. If you live in the area this place is a god send as it is one of the only outlets stocking premium fashion in the vicinity and therefore it makes a good stop off point for a Saturday night outfit or impulse purchase without having to trek into town. Service is friendly and efficient and you get the feeling that every customer is valued. This place is a must for anyone living in South East London and for others to keep in mind if they head down this way for the Horniman Museum.
