Simply the most useful shop in Notting Hill Gate, and long may it continue. My go-to place for…read moreanything from vacuum cleaner bags to flower pots. Amazing how much they manage to squeeze into a relatively small shop without making the place look cluttered. A slightly less useful branch recently opened down the road in Holland Park Avenue, concentrating on appliances, fancy kitchen accessories and gifts - but the original is still the best.

Needed a spool of wire and wasn't even sure of the gauge I needed…read more Also needed a store to be open before I went into work. They opened at 7. Perfect. Called ahead to check if they sold to normal people or if you had to be trade only but anyone can come in. Vaguely described what I needed for my project over the phone with someone and he went and checked, found what he thought I could use and then gave me the correct vocabulary to describe it again when I went in. HELPFUL! They have taken over a few different shops on the road but when I went into one and asked for wire the man led me to the right section/department. Once inside I described what I needed and he gave me a few different options and let me test the wire's flexibility before I purchased. It was as cheap as I was finding it at other places and exactly what I needed. Very happy experience here. Thumbs up.

Well, I suppose this is an indispensible source for every developer. I'm glad they are here, though, as there's hardly anything they don't stock, they offer sound advice, and the prices are OK.

Robert Dyas is a wonderful institution: a traditional ironmongers, with High Street store…read morelocations, for those not able to get to out-of-town shopping centres and retail parks. As well as ironmongery, they sell a wide range of kitchenware, kitchen electricals, and other household items. Great for torches, batteries, cleaning materials, plastic bowls, cooling fans and fan heaters - you name it. They have a fairly constant range of special offers, some of which offer very good value. Unfortunately, the wide range is the undoing of the small store in Earl's Court. The range is too wide, and therefore lacks depth, to really offer much choice. Sometimes they have what I want, but more often I make the trip instead to their larger store in High Street Kensington. That said, it has been useful for the odd emergency item and the staff have always been very friendly and helpful.

Full of the name brand stores as well as a few mom and pop stores as well. There's also a gym, apartments, an awesome food court, and more. The food court is much better than your average mall food court. The options are restaurant quality and plenty of options. Awesome place to buy whatever you need or just to grab a meal.
