They have an online company, but the Putney store is great for browsing a good range of items and treating your little ones to some new clothes or toys. It's also great for presents for newborns or children's birthdays.

One of the better festive selections I've come across so far this year. They have some tasteful and…read moremore classic decorations, as well as more novelty ornaments. I love that they have matches and candles I haven't seen at other department stores. I got some great ones but they came with an £11 price tag so be prepared to spend. I wish they'd have a little more variety of pricing so I could get all the stocking stuffers here too. Then I probably wouldn't need to go to other stores!

I've always popped in here when I need to change currency or checking out new perfume and jewellery ! Once I'm inside it's a different matter as I get pulled towards the handbags and shoes and clothing,which is easily done as you have to walk through all these lovely items just to get to the top floor to change currency! And if you get a chance pop into the restaurant for a pot of tea and freshly homemade cakes!

Pollyanna may be a story, but I like how it has manifested itself into a wonderful store. The shop…read moreis filled with lots of children's clothes and the best part is that the owner's daughter (who is about 3) is there to help open the door for you. The shop is very cute and laid out with girl's clothes on the main floor and the boy's clothes on the lower floor. There were lots of great kids' clothes and I found a large number of items for friends with little ones. I love shopping for kids clothes and Pollyanna's had a great and diverse selection.

This place has good stuff. And the young woman employee that worked with my daughter and me was…read moregreat. She knew her stuff and she was good with kids. However, the dark haired man who appeared to be the manager was not pleasant, to say the least. He seemed most concerned with getting us to buy something quickly and then leave. He was short with us and with his employee. I will not return here because I do not want to support a business that fosters this sort of workplace for its employees and shopping experience for its customers. I rate this place 2 stars because the young woman who worked with us was so patient and thoughtful. It would have been 1 star without her. Oh and it is pretty expensive too.

Centre Court is a gorgeous little shopping centre in Wimbledon. It's literally right by the tube /…read moretrain station and the first thing you notice when exiting the station. This is a pretty bog standard shopping centre, there are a lot of shops but I've never been bowled-over by this place. There's the usual H&M, Marks and Spencer, Body Shop etc and a nice wee food court but unless you are local there is not point in visiting this shopping centre. Handy for Wimbledon locals, not worth it if you are just visiting, best go to the boutiques unique to Wimbledon just up the road instead.

Conveniently situated slap-bang in the middle of Wimbledon's High Street, and right next-door to…read morethe tube and train station, this is a spacious place to shop to your heart's content, stop for a coffee or light lunch or indulge in a pampering treat or two. There is indoor parking on two levels and cash machines also available, for added convenience. Shops include Debenhams (on both levels), Boots, Ann Summers, Accessorize, a mini M&S Food Store and a Tesco Express, plus a host of fashion outlets including Gap, H&M, La Senza and Oasis. There is also a food court on the upper floor and a terrace restaurant. Basically just about everything you could need, all under one roof!

I came here the other day for inspiration of the Christmas present kind. It's one of those places…read morethat you just have to describe with a sort of ultra generic, all inclusive sort of name. Maybe it's a boutique or a gift shop or someone's pet project? It has two sections inside which break up the generic mix vaguely into 'child friendly gifts' and 'adults only'. Not that I was looking for anything for children but I did notice they had loads of little band t-shirts, the Ramones, the Stones...maybe if you break them into punk and rock early you can ruin Disney for them forever? Cruel to be kind? Maybe? The adult stuff ranges from candles, kaftans, scarves, Tupperware, cups, glasses, boxes, baskets, bits of furniture, necklaces. It goes on. Honestly, it's a right mix. Personally, I don't feel the passion here or the sense of cohesion or mission. It feels a bit hollow, sure lots of these items are imported from India and they are genuine and in some cases rather nice but ultimately I couldn't really think of anyone who would absolutely love something from here.

When I walked into Indian Summer I was expecting to be blown away but found the shop rather bland…read more The size of the shop is deceptive, I think whenever I enter large shops I expect it to be highly organized and focused. This shop is a mix of women's fashion, kids clothes, and items you'd find in a gift shop, all of this is arranged into three separate sections. When I entered the shop, the left side is the kids section. Since I wasn't there searching for kids things I gave the area a cursory glance. The middle of the shop is filled with candles (which were lovely), cards and wrapping paper. The third section has women's clothes and I found a great sweater. The shop is a mix and depending on what you're looking you might find it here. It is a shop that you have look around to find what you want, things don't seem to just jump out.

Primark is a very low cost clothing store that has stores all over England. The clothes are…read morefashionable and very cheap although do not expect them to last for more than a season. For t-shirts from £2 it is really cheap and an easy way to build variety into your wardrobe. There is a huge amount of variety and a quick turnover of styles and clothes. Nevertheless, you will find someone wearing clothes that look familiar in London! The Oxford Street store is enough to put you off shopping there for life the number of people who invade it daily is quite extraordinary and the queues for the tills snake their ways around the store. The Tooting store is heaven in comparison. Although far smaller, it has a very good selection of all their ranges. You can get through the queue in 5 minutes on most days. Even when it is busy it is not comparable to the Oxford Street version. Generally, it is a very pleasant experience and gives you access to the cheap deals without the anarchy!

I have to confess that I am a big Primark fan. When fashion comes so cheap, you get a great excuse…read moreto go shopping every week! I discovered this branch lately, it's not as big as the Oxford St one but much nicer as there are less people and the staff can handle the shop floor and avoid the usual mess you find in Oxford St. Will go again and again and again!
