The products are almost always superior quality (once in a while there is a miss, but only…read moreinfrequently). A word of warning - there is no such thing as a quick trip to Lee Valley. You have to find your product in the catalogue, take a number, write out your order slip, hand in your order slip, wait for your products then check out. It can get very busy on weekends and around holidays. To save time you can peruse the online catalogues before you go. Be open to funding new uses for the products. For example, they have plastic tubes with metal lids in the woodworking catalogue which are handy for storing thread spools with bobbins. Allot some time to browse the store - you'll surely find something that you want to add to your order. The store is waaaaay out there on Oxford (almost to the airport). Free parking.

Lee Valley has likely the highest ratio of obscure tools and fixtures to staff of any retailer…read more Even more mind-boggling is that their staff generally know what each and every wacky little thing does. I have, on occasion, gone in not knowing exactly what I'm looking for--but rather, just described a problem or challenge I'm having, and one of their staff (all whom are involved in at least one quirky hobby) has been able to say, "Well, son, sounds like you need this. . . ". Like a handyman's oracle, they answer questions and dole out solutions provided you're willing to make the sometimes arduous trek to their often remote locations. I promise you: it's worth the trip. Particularly if you want to address a homelessness problem for a very specific type of bird.

This is a higher-end consignment shop stuffed floor to ceiling with women's clothes, handbags,…read moreshoes and accessories. They have a restrictive consignment policy. If you want to take things in then call ahead to make an appointment because you'll need one. There is a regular section and a designer section. Some of the clothes still have tags on them (thank you to those women who buy items but decide not to wear them!). They carry all sizes so you're sure to find something. Reasonable prices, especially if the item is on sale. Loyalty card gets you a $25 certificate after five purchases over $50. Helpful staff didn't make me feel as though they suspected every customer was trying to shoplift, an attitude far too prevalent in retail today.

Well this was my worst ever shopping experience. Went with my 90 year old mother who uses a cane…read moreand walks with great difficulty. Asked where seating is located and it is at the back of the store. Mentioned twice it would be helpful if there was a seat or two at the front of the store for people with mobility issues was told it was wouldn't happen for loss prevention. Asked for help finding shoes that would be appropriate and was pointed towards one pair. A fellow customer was much more helpful and I told her I'd give her a reference if she was looking for a job (she wasn't). So virtually no help. Won't go back there again. I understand businesses want to get rid of instore shopping and their lack of service might get them there but, there are still customers who prefer to shop in person - Skechers might want to make those customer's experiences a little more user friendly.

I stayed in London for a weekend a couple of months ago. I had a concert to attend in Windsor and…read moredecided to spend time time in London. I had never visited either place in my life. I enjoyed London. On Saturday, I decided to figure out where everything was. I stumbled across this Skechers store, which was next to the MEC store that I had wanted to visit. I love Skechers. I would be an excellent spokesperson for the brand and would not stop anyone from giving me free sneakers. They are comfortable and are accommodating to women who have large feet. I wear a size 11. Luckily, Skechers makes shoes for me. If you go to the back of the store, you will find clearance shoe items. I found a wonderful, comfy pair of sneakers. The foam insoles are heavenly. My sneakers were 40% off. I was wearing sandals at the time. There are plenty of clean, disposable foot socks. I slipped a couple on and tried my soon-to-be-mine sneakers. Staff here are nice and chatty. I would recommend visiting this store if you are in London. (229)

No fuss, no muss, easy in easy out, no hassles at all - friendly staff. Not even a deep sigh or "i don't know if we can do this comment" I find more and more the worth of a store is how they treat you when you need them to take stuff back or fix something. I was impressed. Also liking their much more diverse woman's selections of clothes. Wearable and even feminine while sell focusing on good basics.
