I discovered this catering store by accident, whilst looking for a particular (and rather obscure)…read morekitchen item, and have been back again and again. This is not your usual kitchenware store, they honestly have everything you can think of in the way of cooking, catering, or dining products. There is one aisle with so many different types of spatula, that I didn't know which one to pick!! The prices are very reasonable too. It's hard to come out with just the items you came in for.

I have decided that Muji has just become my favourite store of the moment. Maybe it is because I…read moream just a little bit of a geek when it comes to home wear, but I love sifting through the shop and examining the clever storage devices and gadgets. Lately I have been getting excited about the weather stations, the solar chargers, the clever international multi-adapters, the shower radios, the city pop-up cards, the wall-mounted CD players, the wind-up walkie talkies, the fair trade cotton sheets and so much more. I will admit that I have recently been suffering from a huge obsession with anything even remotely Japanese and this has obviously played a huge part in my love affair with Muji - but it's just so clever I doubt many people could resist. Muji will definitely be one of my top shopping destinations for Christmas gifts this year.

I don't quite understand Muji. What I mean to say is, there's so much going on it's hard to…read moredecipher what it actually is. Upstairs is a novelty stationers (although they do seem to have some useful items), come home appliance store, come knickknack store. Downstairs on the other hand is a clothing store, which is quite good for basic things like white shirts (which for some reason are incredibly hard to find), but if you want to be a hipster about town, you may want to think twice. My point is that there seems to very little sense of direction in Muji, as you can tell from the somewhat blasé customers it seems to attract. It's too small to accommodate the higher-class department store shtick (that torch obviously being held by places like Fenwicks... etc). Having said this there is a good clean atmosphere here, and it can be quite fun to look around... I just don't really know what I'm looking for when I'm their.

Perfect for sheets, duvet covers, mattress pads and all. The man who has helped me on several occasions knows US sizes vs British sizes vs European sizes by heart.

This place is an institution, having been there for about 45 odd years I think! I love this place,…read morethe sort of friendly personal service found with an independent store, and the linens, towels, bathrobes and teacloths etc are really good quality and great price. But the real scandal is what is happening to this store, very sadly, I hear, that the proprietor has been forced to move out soon by big developers and Council to make way for another bland café. Another case of the greedy landlords, bullying Developers and Council treating the independent retailer like this one with complete contempt, and also for its loyal and new customers who frequent and love this shop. This shop is a real institution. It's a total disgrace with what is happening to it!

From housewares and apparel to bedding and even prepackaged food, this place has it all. This particular store is three floors. The first floor has candles, scented oils and aroma diffusers, cosmetic and travel containers, bath and skincare products, writing instruments, acrylic photo and document frames, and various travel necessities including packing cubes and suitcases. The bottom floor contains housewares such as cooking utensils, bedding, and even prepackaged food. The top floor had a small variety of clothing and apparel. I was elated to sign that this shop carried something I've been looking for for a long time: makeup blotting papers. As someone with oily skin, these are a necessity. Before departing for London, I checked all of my favourite cosmetics stores and no one seemed to have them in stock. Thankfully, the shop has plenty, although I would hardly think to look for them in a place like this. If you love writing instruments as much as I do, be sure to spend a little time with the writing tools. They have a wide variety of ink colors, pen sizes, and pen styles to fit every hand. There are even basic fountain pens and fancy mechanical pencils in stock.

As much as I love all thing Muji (I mean... they're Japanese! How could anyone not love Keroppi,…read moreNintendo, or Vampire Hunter D?)... ... I've gotta say that I still feel gouged every time I make a purchase here. A silicone ice-baller for whisky for £7.50 and basic bento sets running close to £25 make my wallet sad. Still, their simple clean designs and the obvious utility of each product can't be argued with. If nothing else, I can be sure that the numerical figure that comes after the currency symbol will be less than the translated number in Yen. Le sigh.

I spent a few hundred pounds on oak worktops from this company.

We waited an age to find out when our order was to be delivered (after paying). They delivered at the wrong time and didn't phone in advance as promised.
