The Paragon Trust is a fantastic little charity shop located on Well Street…read more Here you will find a good selection of Brick-a-brack, clothes, toys, shoes, old records, tapes and Cd's and random things like TVs and sofas from time to time. The lady that's usually in here is very lovely and chatty. I love charity shopping because of the randomness of it, you never know what kind of gem's your going to come across or then again you could leave with nothing.

What makes a convenience store good? They're all much of a muchness. Magazines, newspapers, crisps,…read moresweets, drinks, some basic food...that's about it. So, it's got to be the little things that you look out for. One of the things I really like about Michaels is the fact that they don't charge you for using a card. Great stuff when all you want is a bus pass in the morning. And it's open early. Not sure how early, but It's always been open when I've left the house. It's quite a big store for a local corner shop - so there is some choice when it comes to regular foodstuffs, and because it's pretty big it isn't one of those places that you're afraid to turn around while wearing a backpack in case you demolish an entire shelf. The staff are lovely, and thus far have never failed to call me Sir - even when I'm hungover, buying monster munch in shorts and a vest. So, a very nice shop indeed.

Well I've been by this place quite a few times when I used to visit my girlfriend when she was…read moreliving in East Putney so I'll get off at Putney Bridge and always noticed this place that was absolutely chock full of books. I suppose it is a bookshop but this place takes the biscuit. There is an insane amount of books here and their warehouse apparently has over 1 million books. You can go and view but with prior arrangement with the owners. However, that said this place is amazing next to us to the Osterley bookshop, which I've also written a review about. It's one of the best book shops in London, no doubt at all, the prices are incredibly reasonable. The selection is insane, finding the book you want. May be a bit difficult because it is absolutely rammed. I think only three or four people at a time to get in there and brows, but the guys who run it are really nice chaps. Imalso have the unusual habit of leaving Brookshill overnight and letting people put money through the letterbox when they pay for them all in the hotel out of 10 or should I say five outside if you're looking for something a bit rare trying here I'm sure you'll find it but it might take some time

It's just by Putney Bridge tube this one and it's got a really lovely old fashioned exterior. This…read morewindow display is the rows of books cramped together on the inside and it's pretty obvious this is one of those buying and selling second hand book shops that require patience and a little bit of time dedicate to the search. I love these kind of places anyway and I especially like them as an antidote to Waterstones, WH Smith and all those. The stories have stories somewhere like this and they've got the coffee and tear stains to show for it. And for all that compromise there is a significantly reduced price, especially if you have a look on the shelves outside you can get some really good bargains. Especially, worthwhile considering how many books you just read once and never really look at again.

This is quite a small branch of Waterstones, but is now the only bookshop in the main shopping area…read moreof Wimbledon (there's a small independent bookshop in Wimbledon Village). That said, it has a decent selection of books if you're after something mainstream, and there's a good selection for children. There's also a small stationery section for greetings cards, notepads and calendars. One thing I do like about the shop is that the staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and always happy to give advice.

Does the job, although if you're looking for something quite specific you might be better ringing ahead to check if they stock it or going somewhere with a larger selection.
