I'm a sucker for a good kitchen supply store. This one is stuffed to the eyeballs with a plethora…read moreof gadgets. The real drawback is having to sift through containers of stuff to find exactly what you're looking for. Organized, it aint. That said, I enjoy their selection of serving ware from bowls and platters to demi spoons and cake plates. If you can't find the correct number of something, just ask. They seemingly have a lot of extra inventory in the back. It can seem like an odd collection; but if they have what I need, it makes me so very happy.

It's not huge, but it is packed with everything you could ever want in a kitchen, and a few implements that even I was unsure of what to do with! The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and it's almost impossible to escape without having bought anything. I wandered in with a (guy) friend who pooh-poohed all kitchenware, and yet even he walked out with a Japanese carving knife at £60... They even get stock in for you if you ask them to. I feel a bit bad, as I asked them to get in a bean slicer, only to immediately find one elsewhere. The 10 bean slicers sitting forlornly on their hook stare at me every time I go in...I don't feel too bad though, I have since bought a jam funnel, some olive wood spoons and a special cleaning brush for sweetcorn.

This store is middle age signed, sealed and delivered in one room. I don't even know what half the…read morestuff they sell is, but I found myself, literally minutes away from Christmas, neck deep in a credit crunch and scrabbling around trying to buy an £18 colander. They do sell lots of lovely house hold bits and bobs but until I have a house, Labrador and a child called Mimi Fifi Orchid Clooney (a girl can dream) I wont be buying anything from here. It's a personal thing, possibly connected to being a huge consumerist ass hole whilst having a huge problem with consumerism. For me, buying a £300 pair of shoes is wrong but necessary, where as buying two plain white enamel breakfast bowls for £16 seems ridiculous. I am aware that this statement is ridiculous in itself, in fact, I just don't want to talk about it anymore. I will say though, that this shop is lovely, but I prefer Ikea.

I've been meaning to visit Labour and Wait ever since I read an article sometime ago in The…read moreGuardian profiling couples who had started up new and innovative businesses in the East End, and the L&W concept really struck a cord. You can be assured the new shop in Redchurch Street sells the same functional products for the kitchen, home and garden as the existing shop on Cheshire St, however I believe L&W are moving from Cheshire St to Redchurch St in the not-too-distant future. For too long, consumers have been lulled into a false sense of security with large, "convenient" hardware stores such as Homebase and B&Q etc. who unfortunately have, over the years got away with cheap replicas of good quality homeware goods. L&W moves away from this methodolgy and focuses fully on sustainable goods made in enamel, stainless steel and wood, rather than plastic and throw-away alternatives. The shop is minimalist in style, but all the products are displayed in a creative and alternative way, which I'd liken a little to the layout of Muji stores. As most shoppers today, I am mindful of what I buy having an effect on our environment and planet, but love L&W's ethos. I especially love the enamel kitchen sets, glass jugs, butter dishes and stainless steel buckets and watering cans. True classics! Now, don't get me wrong, you can't get anywhere near the vast selection (though often poor and low quality) of hardware and homeware products from L&W that you get in chain hardware stores, but what you do get (as the blackboard outside the shop and web home page state!) is "high quality, traditional goods for the home", with the added bonus of browsing a low-tech shop and experiencing a low stress retail experience. Now that has to be worth a trip to Shoreditch any day of the week!

If at the last minute you realised a load of people were due at yours that night, and faced with the horror of having 1.5 wine glasses and no champagne flutes left after your last big affair.......your rescue stop is here. They sell all sorts of barware, including cocktail shakers, muddlers, mixers (like sour mixes, fancy juices, syrups and the like), and different types of bar glasses. I was overwhelmed with choice and gaped in awe at the several types of lime and lemon squeezers, wine and champagne buckets, corkscrews, ice crushers....all promising cocktail and party dreams!! The staff were really friendly and happy, ready to answer questions and help. Oh yes, and they have quite a nice selection of plates and serving ware, as well as blenders, grillers and proper restaurant/catering quality goods. Nisbets has a great website as well with lots of stuff that isn't in the shop. And even if you hadn't planned on having a party, this place is a great reason to have one.

It is therefore with a sigh that Wimbledon residents can breathe a sigh of relief that Lakeland has decided to grace the Centre Court Shopping Centre with one of their latest store openings Being a keen cook, it is nice to have access to Lakeland's specialist kitchenware locally. They do cater to the masses with popular lines like tapping into the cupcake craze but they do also sell stuff like silicone baking sheets, which would interest more adventurous cooks Everything is laid out in a dangerously appealing and inviting manner, meaning that in a moment of weakness, you may find yourself walking out with an ice cream cone maker - incidentally £29.99 for the waffle iron and £3.95 for the cone mould around which you shape your hot waffle. And no, I didn't walk out with one though I was interested to see it They are a little pricey compared to professional kitchenware companies but I applaud them for making an extra level of cooking accessible to the general public. The staff are keen to help, so do pick their brains if you need any help or advice Incidentally, it's nice to see a new store opening in Wmbledon after a spate of recent retail shop closures. Long live the high street!

Bakeware, cookware, canning supplies, household cleaning & gadgets, and all the little things for your kitchen in particular that you never knew you needed. Lakeland is like magic. I particularly like that they carry cake decorating tools, dyes, flavors, etc. for far less cost than other London outlets (such as Jane Asher). They offer the Star Kay White line of oils & flavors to the UK (which I believe is exclusive due to the dual-branded labeling). Very friendly staff members here as well. So glad to know this location is nearish to me! I will most definitely be back whenever I'm in need of kitchen goodies!

There's a lot of kitchenware stores like this in the city. Did you know we built this city on rock and roll? I'm not wholly convinced that there is much to distinguish this store from its kitchen and bath store counterparts. Maybe the fact that the stores wears a curly green wig, but there might be other stores like that so I can't say. This is a good place to pick up pots and pans and get tropic tans.

It is a bit cramped but that goes without saying on Columbia Road and they pack a lot in and always have a lot of people browsing. So go in here before you buy your bouquets and bay trees.
