The outside of this shop isn't the most inviting, since it's painted all black. Never mind, inside…read moreit's a treasure trove. Somewhere between a charity shop and a posh gift store, there's masses of unusual stuff. Clothes, ornaments and nick nacks. Everything from a graceful pottery hand to a skull ornament, via lots of glittery stuff. It's the sort of place that the longer you look, the more you'll find. The owner is lovely and friendly, great for a chat. They also do sales on eBay. Pop in for a browse and you are sure to find something you'd like. It's definitely a place for discovering hidden treasure.

Woot! This made my journey home far more fun! I just spotted an irregular choice shop in amongst…read morethe shipping containers of the boxpark in Shoreditch. It looses a star as the shop is pretty teeny, so can't fit enough of my future shoes-to-be BUT it is sooo mush more relaxing than fighting your way through the crowds in the flag-ship-shoeland on Carnaby Street. I will be happy to suggest meeting my boyfriend in Shoreditch after work if this means I can window shop here on the way!!

This is a Clarks outlet shop. It's always an odd crowd, and always a crowd in general. Sometimes an…read morealarm goes off. It's cool, though. I don't believe I've ever actually purchased shoes here, but I live in hope that someday the cute pair of shoes in the outlet shop will not be a size 4. If you need cheap shoes that put comfort first, it's a good bet. If you're looking for Clark's limited more stylish options, you won't find them here. But it's a nice thing to have in the neighborhood!

I LOVE this shopping Centre; it's busy, bustling and brimming with all the treats you could want…read more One of the best things about the shopping centre is the Sainsbury's; it's the best and cheapest supermarket mega-store in the area, and has the largest selection of Quorn and vegetarian foods in the area (aside from specialist shops). There's also an Iceland, although I'm pretty opposed to this chain it is cheap as chips. There's the Hackney obligatory Percy Ingles, the bakery and a hot nut stand (the shop used to be on Kingsland Road but has now moved in here). There's also clothes shops, a Holland and Barret and acupuncture shop. As if in keeping with the Ridley Rd market, there's also stalls inside selling clothes that Albert Square would be proud of! Then of course there's the infamous Matalan where there was sadly a terrible murder earlier this year. This forced a tightening of security, and you often see police men wandering around. That said, the liveliness of the shopping centre is infectious, and seriously, the Sainsburys is well cheap!

This store has a surprisingly good selection of really good boots. Being a couple of inches off…read moreofficial dwarf status, it is nigh on possible for me to find boots that don't make me look like some sort of mystical wood creature or something that lives under a bridge eating goats and growling at passers by. I didn't actually find a perfect pair here, but came closer than normal and for anyone without weird hangups about leather to leg ratio, this is a fantastic shop to start the yearly boot search. They stock a variety of mid price range designers who have all captured the essence of more expensive boot makers (think Fiorentini and Baker or Belstaff) without copying these designers to the letter. They are particularly well stocked on biker type boots and in general the quality of materials used is high. Shopping here is a pleasurable experience aided by friendly, relaxed staff, warm lighting, comfortable seating and good music. I love the window display which features a miniature toy train running around the store and weaving between all the gorgeous boots and shoes.

This new shop on a corner of Stoke Newington Church Street is anything but scruffy, and you…read morecertainly won't want to get these shoes muddy. Each shoe is wonderfully placed on its own mirrored shelf, and the prices range from £50 to £150. There are some uniquely designed shoes and boots to be found here, and you might find a pair that make you want to dance. What I like most about this store is the level of personal attention each customer receives, and the friendly and helpful staff - they meet a standard that seems higher in Stoke Newington compared to the rest of London! If you're looking for winter boots, there are some great varieties in stock, as well as sandals and strappy heels in the spring.

For instance I saw a pair of boots for 30 pounds that were no better quality than what shoe zone sells for 15! There are no real names here just copies of designer shoes. Two Norf (sic) London girls came whilst I was here to look at this knock off Uggs. I think this store is overpriced for what it is. They try to dress it up with a nice sign but I think it is crap.
