What a great shop, a gem! I stumbled on this excellent shop only recently as I took a short cut up…read morea side road ext to Gap kids. The Guys in the shop were soo friendly and knew their stuff. I am an amateur runner just starting out but they also seem to cater for all runners including the much more advanced than me! This didnt stop them advising me on what shoes were appropriate for me without making me feel like I wasnt important to them, as some athletic shops do if you are not part of the elite. They also have a rather impresive running machine that they can film you to chech your running style. I hear they moved from a smaller unit down the same street, I guess great service and good products does pay off!!

Duo Dance stocks all kinds of dance shoes, leotards, tights and dancewear. Almost everything you…read morecould be looking for. Should you decide to pick up a pair of jazz shoes or dance tights on a weekday at 4pm, then you are likely to be met with a hoard of Dulwich mothers doing likewise. As it does get ridiculously busy and during these times actually getting served is rather an unrealistic luxury. It is much better to leave and come back at a quieter time than to spend many frustrating hours waiting. The staff here can be rather snotty with the mentality that Duo Dance is the centre of the universe, but as there are no other dancewear shops in the area or any that are so well stocked, this is something that you have to put up with.

I will definitely be ordering from Duo Dance again! I…read moreordered shoes and heel guards over the Internet - you can't beat the prices (even with the currency conversion), the order was processed quickly, my questions were answered promptly, and I can't be more pleased with the service I received. Thanks, again!

I don't really see this as a shop, it's more of a playground - you just have to give them money to…read moretake the toys away with you. I've been spinning and building Poi for about 5-6 years and always come down here to get any supplies I need. I also like that every time I come down here I end up seeing a new gizmo or performance toy to think about trying to learn. Sadly, right now I don't have the tie to branch out, but it's always good to stay abreast of these things. The staff are absolute legends here and go above and beyond to help you or offer suggestions. They also sell a lot of training videos which I wish I had when I was starting out. Prices are reasonable for the items and they also have a range of long boards for sale. Certainly a great shop to stop by to pick up something to play with over the summer and get you out into the sunshine.

To juggle or not to juggle?…read more You might assume there wouldn't be enough jugglers to justify opening a juggling shop but Oddballs have been supplying aspiring circus performers for over 25 years now. Their original flagship store in the North Laines is a jugglers wet dream as they stock a wide selection of juggling balls, rings, sticks, clubs and bar flares. For those that have perfected their juggling and fancy trying something else, they have diablos, poi spinners, devil sticks, knives, spinning plates, hacky sacks, stilts, walking ladders and uni cycles. For the uninitiated - like me - there's also hula hoops and advanced yo yo's!

I like most working parents are very limited on time and so we weren't able to visit the store in person, so we choose to do an online order for home delivery. I explained we are going away and I was worried the uniform would arrive whilst we were away on holiday, miss delivery and not be ready for starting his first day (we arrive home the day before term starts!) I was advised the trousers were showing as low stock, but Mandy did everything possible to ensure our order (in full) 20 items arrived promptly. IT ALL ARRIVED TODAY - less than 2 days from ordering. Everything is perfect despite not trying a single item on. I wanted to extend my thanks to such an easy process. We'll be back to store when we have outgrown this order. Many thanks - one happy mum and son.

One of the most important things I learnt from my mum is the importance of a good fitting bra,…read moreespecially if you're bigger than a C! It's all very well buying yourself a pretty bra and knicker set every few months from Zara or H&M but they almost certainly won't last and don't fit properly, which makes your clothes fit badly and essential could give you back problems. I came to Bravissimo with my sister, on the advice of a friend to get a proper fitting and invest in some 'proper' bras (call before and you'll be sure to have somebody help you). This shop is for people size D and above, not people who need egg warmers like me, just so you know. The girl who measured her was really down to earth and made her feel very comfortable, She told her where she was going wrong, i.e. wearing bras too big, and suggested some brands that would do her justice. She bought 3 bras for under £100 but worth every penny, her whole shape and posture has improved.

The shop front is comprised of a door and then stairs to the unknown, a world only open to ladies gifted with a Dcup or more. Upstairs you'll find a wide selection of bras and support clothing, all quite expensive but very good quality and there's no frump involved. They do cup sizes right up to K and offer free non-obligatory fittings which you can either walk in to or pre-book. The staff are very responsive to customers wandering up from the downstairs entrance and trot over to assist, and are particularly helpful if you're not sure what you're looking for.

They sell everything from football stuff to hunting, shooting and fishing. During the winter months they have a cheap and extensive range of ski wear and ski equipment and you can kit out the whole family easily. In the summer this changes to beach stuff and hiking gear such as boots, trousers and jackets. If you can't find what you need here it probably doesn't exist.

For things like this, I don't want to go all out and get everything just yet as I don't know if I will like it, however I still want to be safe. Instead of going to speciailty stores, I can come here to get the basics and then as I learn more about what I need and want, can get more advanced kit as I develop.
