I'm a bit of a charity shop enthusiast, and this has to be one of my favourites…read more Whereas Oxfams in other high profile areas (e.g. Notting Hill Gate, Kensington High Street, Gloucester Road) carefully note their most prized donations and price them a little too high, this one still has hidden gems. Barely worn Ferragamo flats and Longchamp bags can be found for good prices amidst Primark tat. But beware, other customers can provide a lot of competition!

I agree on the previous review of this charity shop compare to other branches they seem a bit…read morecheaper than other shops but yesterday 04 of September the one in the tills this muslim woman who is so rude to every customer ,the way she speak doesnt represent this shop and should not volunteer ,i noticed as well on weekends or sunday that the normal English people managing this shop are not around,2 weeks a go i witnessed an eastern european girl helping other felllow relatives to choose a clothes what they like,the muslim family or friends around are also the same.i will not recommend them to volunteer,i will ask someone to pretend as a buyer and chat with this Muslim woman and for sure you will be appalled ,i wonder why she is volunteering to help or to help fellow countryman to buy stuff at low price.

I'm a university friend of a former tenant at Women's Pioneer Housing. She became homeless because…read moreshe was terrified that the two people living upstairs would attack her. Despite being aware of the antisocial behaviour and threats for over a year -- even after police were involved -- WPH did absolutely nothing to protect her. From housing officers to managers and all the way to the top, there was silence -- and the blame was placed on the victim instead of on the perpetrators. I have seen first-hand the devastating impact this had: she was forced to abandon her home, her health collapsed, and she is now homeless, living in fear. Women's Pioneer Housing claim to protect vulnerable women, but in reality, they leave them isolated, unsupported, and silenced. If you have been failed by WPH too, please speak out. I know it is scary -- my friend didn't want me to do this because she is still very afraid. But I believe it needs to be said. Every story matters. Speaking out is the only way to stop these failures from being hidden any longer. Charlotte Spencer

This Red Cross Shop is hidden off the King's Road and hidden is truly the operative word. I've…read morevisited 3-4 times over the past couple of years and the things that you can find here never ceases to amaze me. There are actually two shops - a clothing store and a "everything else" store (you know, books, CDs, ornaments etc). Being a girl, I tend to be in the clothing store more often than not. It's generally quite quiet in the store and the staff are really friendly, sharing stories of people who have brought stuff in and generally having a chat with you, which is nice. I've had some great finds too - but you have to be prepared to rummage around. I've bought a few coats and one really nice Shanghai Tang dress, which I was super pleased with! If you like a bargain, then the Red Cross Shop is for you. From time-to-time, they also seem to have half price sales on the clothes, which is nice too. And you leave the store with a feel-good feeling - you are reusing something that somebody else didn't want, you can gift-aid your purchase so that the Red Cross gets the tax back, and a donation goes to the Red Cross too. It's nice to come here, even if it's just for a browse.

I personally love the fashion exhibits, but there are also many artefacts, sculptures, artworks, etc from many different periods. On Fridays it is open late- the exhibitions, the cafe and the shop. The shop has lovely gifts and things, bith related to the temporary exhibitions and from local producers (sculpturers, artists, designers, etc.) Would definitely rcommend a few hours in the V&A to any London visitors!
