Always very busy, the Fara Children's Charity shop is a bit of a compulsion for Earsfield parents…read more It's full of good quality toys, clothes and equipment for babies and children. Everything is second-hand but you can often find things that have barely been worn. All the money raised goes to ophans in Romania, so it's in a good cause too.

If you are looking at this review, GO GO GO it is one the best kids shops. It has a great variety…read moreof kids clothes that are reasonably priced they also sell buggies, high chairs etc for a fraction of the retail price. The shop itself is extremely clean and staff were brilliant with my little girl while I browsed and bought £20 worth of beautiful baby clothes (which practically filled a binliner). This shop is like an Aladdins Cave as I then walked through to the back of the shop and found great activity toys and a cafe with a play area I bought a cup of tea and an Ellas sachet for Saskia for £3.50 (Bargain)!!!! JUST GO you will not regret it!

They have an online company, but the Putney store is great for browsing a good range of items and treating your little ones to some new clothes or toys. It's also great for presents for newborns or children's birthdays.

One of the better festive selections I've come across so far this year. They have some tasteful and…read moremore classic decorations, as well as more novelty ornaments. I love that they have matches and candles I haven't seen at other department stores. I got some great ones but they came with an £11 price tag so be prepared to spend. I wish they'd have a little more variety of pricing so I could get all the stocking stuffers here too. Then I probably wouldn't need to go to other stores!

I've always popped in here when I need to change currency or checking out new perfume and jewellery ! Once I'm inside it's a different matter as I get pulled towards the handbags and shoes and clothing,which is easily done as you have to walk through all these lovely items just to get to the top floor to change currency! And if you get a chance pop into the restaurant for a pot of tea and freshly homemade cakes!

Pollyanna may be a story, but I like how it has manifested itself into a wonderful store. The shop…read moreis filled with lots of children's clothes and the best part is that the owner's daughter (who is about 3) is there to help open the door for you. The shop is very cute and laid out with girl's clothes on the main floor and the boy's clothes on the lower floor. There were lots of great kids' clothes and I found a large number of items for friends with little ones. I love shopping for kids clothes and Pollyanna's had a great and diverse selection.

This place has good stuff. And the young woman employee that worked with my daughter and me was…read moregreat. She knew her stuff and she was good with kids. However, the dark haired man who appeared to be the manager was not pleasant, to say the least. He seemed most concerned with getting us to buy something quickly and then leave. He was short with us and with his employee. I will not return here because I do not want to support a business that fosters this sort of workplace for its employees and shopping experience for its customers. I rate this place 2 stars because the young woman who worked with us was so patient and thoughtful. It would have been 1 star without her. Oh and it is pretty expensive too.

Centre Court is a gorgeous little shopping centre in Wimbledon. It's literally right by the tube /…read moretrain station and the first thing you notice when exiting the station. This is a pretty bog standard shopping centre, there are a lot of shops but I've never been bowled-over by this place. There's the usual H&M, Marks and Spencer, Body Shop etc and a nice wee food court but unless you are local there is not point in visiting this shopping centre. Handy for Wimbledon locals, not worth it if you are just visiting, best go to the boutiques unique to Wimbledon just up the road instead.

Conveniently situated slap-bang in the middle of Wimbledon's High Street, and right next-door to…read morethe tube and train station, this is a spacious place to shop to your heart's content, stop for a coffee or light lunch or indulge in a pampering treat or two. There is indoor parking on two levels and cash machines also available, for added convenience. Shops include Debenhams (on both levels), Boots, Ann Summers, Accessorize, a mini M&S Food Store and a Tesco Express, plus a host of fashion outlets including Gap, H&M, La Senza and Oasis. There is also a food court on the upper floor and a terrace restaurant. Basically just about everything you could need, all under one roof!

I came here the other day for inspiration of the Christmas present kind. It's one of those places…read morethat you just have to describe with a sort of ultra generic, all inclusive sort of name. Maybe it's a boutique or a gift shop or someone's pet project? It has two sections inside which break up the generic mix vaguely into 'child friendly gifts' and 'adults only'. Not that I was looking for anything for children but I did notice they had loads of little band t-shirts, the Ramones, the Stones...maybe if you break them into punk and rock early you can ruin Disney for them forever? Cruel to be kind? Maybe? The adult stuff ranges from candles, kaftans, scarves, Tupperware, cups, glasses, boxes, baskets, bits of furniture, necklaces. It goes on. Honestly, it's a right mix. Personally, I don't feel the passion here or the sense of cohesion or mission. It feels a bit hollow, sure lots of these items are imported from India and they are genuine and in some cases rather nice but ultimately I couldn't really think of anyone who would absolutely love something from here.

When I walked into Indian Summer I was expecting to be blown away but found the shop rather bland…read more The size of the shop is deceptive, I think whenever I enter large shops I expect it to be highly organized and focused. This shop is a mix of women's fashion, kids clothes, and items you'd find in a gift shop, all of this is arranged into three separate sections. When I entered the shop, the left side is the kids section. Since I wasn't there searching for kids things I gave the area a cursory glance. The middle of the shop is filled with candles (which were lovely), cards and wrapping paper. The third section has women's clothes and I found a great sweater. The shop is a mix and depending on what you're looking you might find it here. It is a shop that you have look around to find what you want, things don't seem to just jump out.
