Stroud Green road has a brilliant vibe, traditional ethnic convenience stores mixed with classy restaurants and even the odd cheap n cheerful chicken shop. With all the development happening near the tube and the cut through to the 'Fashion Centre' it was an utter disappointment to discover its sad and stale air where there was nobody serving at the Fashion Cafe and what was on display looked like it had seen better days. Annoying as the board on the street caught my eye on the way into the tube and there's a handy cut through into the mini shopping centre. Put something nice in here please. Build it and they will come!

They also had a wide variety of premium biscuits, chocolates, sandwiches, and beverages including wine! They had some pretty high end towels that were 50% off too! Upper level had an assortment of clothes for men. Their in-house cologne was quite nice! 2 bottles for 25!

The volume and screenings was absolutely perfect and the films they are presenting at the moment are also very entertaining.

Er... No! Nags Head Market, what is going on? You claim to have over fifty stalls, I arrived on a…read moreSunday (generally market day in London) at 1pm and counted exactly nine stalls open. I felt like I was in an out of season seaside resort. You'll find cheap catalogue knock-off style clothing stalls, a fishmonger, a fruit & veg stall and the occasional 'I am clearing out my house and want you to buy my stuff', kind of stall. Nags Head market is definitely weird, rarely wonderful and with the people who frequent this area of N7, teetering on the precipice of being a ghetto London shopping experience.

An update because all other reviews are kind of out of date…read more I visited on Thursday between 10 and 11 AM, quite some stalls/shops were closed. Some were opening up their shop, to prepare for a lunch crowd I guess? Most of the stalls don't really sell anything I would really go to this market for, like cheap suitcases or so. Some stalls sell some special take away food, like Japanese or Nigerian, have not tried any. I do love the first few shops of this market when entering from Seven Sisters road. The fish shop Holloway Fisheries has a very good offer of fresh fish, good priced, cleaned as you wish by the nice guys. The butcher A&F Butchers looks like a great butcher, with halal meat, beef, lamb and poultry. The vegetables at the greengrocer also look really good and fresh, great shop. I will definitely come back to the three shops above mentioned but are not really thrilled about the rest of the market.

You could make a reservation or just stand in line. We chose to do neither and my daughter got a lemon wedge Jellycat. The line was short and the staff was friendly.

For the food hall I loved that they had a great selection of so many different types of food and drink. I was able to pick up some sushi and drinks, while the honey got some ramen to-go. I also loved that you could pay at the specific stall you got the food from and did not have to get in line for every single item. In relation to Selfridges' clothing section upstairs, the signage for the sections was poor and we ended up having to ask where the swim area was. Everything was £80 and up so we later ended up going to Primark since it was a little too rich for our blood (DH constantly loses his swim trucks when we travel). All in all, I was glad they were close to our hotel and the food hall definitely gives the nearby Mercado (which was our goto last year) a run for it's money.

There were even dried fruits? They looked so cute! I didn't go to the top floors but my friend went to the bottom floor to pay bc there were too many people. And there were pastries! Oh my oh my, I couldn't resist! It all looked so good too! But I was able to control myself and only got a cheese scone and fig fruit tart. It's just something I never had before. The fruit tart was a little sweet but good. The cheese scone smelled great but I haven't tried it. I don't have room for it yet. This will also be an ideal place to get some souvenirs for your folks too.

5 Star brand, 2 Star service 2 months ago I order a hamper…read moreas a thank you gift for my friends and selected a named day delivery because of my and their travel plans. F&M failed to meet this, failed to contact me and failed to resolve the issue when I brought it to their attention. Instead F&M lied to me, offered pitiful tokens of apology and took up half my afternoon because of a customer service process that just isn't fit for purpose. If you want a reliable dependable service, look elsewhere. When I emailed the customer service address given with the order, I got an automated response that it was no longer in service and to use whatsapp instead. The whatsapp service took over 3 hours without any resolution. First a chatbot could not provide details, then after a 2 hour wait a agent contacted me to ask me to reconfirm the details and verify my identity. This agent just gave overly sweet false platitudes, lied that the shipment had already been shipped and offered £10 for the inconvenience. 2 months of advance notice wasted, 3 hours of my time wasted and F&Ms solution is to lie to me, give me a £10 voucher, keep its profit, not express the delivery, just plod along as it pleases. Woeful! Moral of the story F&M are unreliable and when it makes a mistake it does not take responsibility to resolve the issue. Instead it lies, gives false platitudes about caring and escalation the issue. All to maximise its profit even when it fails to meet the service it was paid to provide.

Second, who can beat their $5 meal deal where you can pick through an assortment of sandwiches or pastas, a side, and a drink. If you were to add it all up retail, it would probably cost you about $8. The sandwiches are actually really good, my favorite was the chicken avacado with a pesto dressing. For sides i would either pick the crisps or if i want to be healthy then the carrots and hummus. I wish the carrots were crispy though, most of the times they were soggy and limp. This is a great on the go meal or something simple you can easily take back to your hotel if your trying to save a little money. Also for a 2 liter bottle of water for 50 pc, this was a better value than the ones next door at the Sainsbury local.

The showroom contains a bit of a mish-mash of different style designs and ideas. There are some nice watches, jewellery and kitchenware if you need to buy a present for someone else... and lots of different styles of furniture if you're looking to add something a little whimsical to your home. Some things are very expensive, some are a little expensive...but lots of their products look really nice. There are also a few "who-on-earth-would-pay-*that-much*-for-*that*" type items, but meh, different strokes for different folks. There were a couple of items that caught my eye. We're re-doing our floors at the moment, so I can't actually buy anything until it is all sorted...but I have a feeling I'll be back to buy something later.

The Designer Warehouse is one of my favourite London discoveries…read more Not far from my home, and just off Seven Sisters road is a monthly sale for designer clothes - having heard from it from a colleague, I didn't really know what to expect. It was great and would definitely recommend giving it a visit. When getting to the warehouse, you have to leave your bag and coat (including your phone) in a cloakroom, and may a small fee of £3 (or 2?) to be able to get in. The sale is over 2 floors, and organised by designers - some are really well known, some are smaller names I've never heard of. It's not a posh environment, it's just rows and rows of clothes on hangers - and you have to take the time to go through them to find the gems, and also your size. There aren't any changing rooms, but there is an area where you can go and try them on at the back of the venue - it's closed off to men, but you do have to accept getting changed in front of other women. I am myself a massive fan of Vivienne Westood, and this was also the opportunity for me to try on a few pieces of her clothes - and yes, I did cave in and buy a top (1/3 of the original price) and a scarf. Good to know: they separate their sales between womanswear and menswear - their schedule is updated on their website.
