It's an eccentric mix of shops and stalls, but everyone is quite friendly and they're all very happy for your business. Easy to navigate, the market has two parallel aisles that run from one end to the other. But if you're too tired or you already bought a ton of stuff, you'd be excused if you only do one aisle. Conveniently located, the market runs next to the Hammersmith Underground line, between Goldhawk Road and Shepherd's Bush Market stations. You can't miss it.

In fact, the fabrics here are brilliant. I was requested to look for silk polka dot fabric once and you know what, it was all here. The prices are dirt cheap and sometimes you can haggle a wee deal. I always find markets a little disorientating and this one especially but if you have time to wander, do give this a look because you can pick up great deals on food and other bits for the house - brilliant.

Please know I was horribly jet lagged & tired I found myself going down Queensway Rd, and loved all the different shops and restaurants. The energy of all the people bustling by. I felt like the guy walking in the middle of a marathon. After deciding to pick up the pace, I came across Tesco. I walked in and thought, for my first night here, I'll get something light to eat instead of going to a restaurant. I loved the contrast of ready made "grab and go" food in comparison to what we offer in the U.S. Here there were pâté sandwiches, salmon choices, a rather inexpensive array of great cheese, produce, and sundries. I discovered an upgraded European version of Walmart. I mean that as a compliment in comparison! My dinner tonight was going to be: roasted tomatoes in olive oil and mozzarella, nice flatbread with tomato basil, kalamata & green olives with a nice wheel of Camembert cheese. Of course some American Budweiser beer and a side of José Cuervo! (Don't judge me - I'm not a fan of wine!) I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is on the go and need last minute items. :)

When looking to get the latest phone on the best deal, one might go to Carphone Warehouse as they…read morecompare the prices of most of Britain's major mobile phone networks from O2 to Vodafone. Other networks, of course, include EE and Carphone Warehouse's own network, ID. Most of the contract prices were competitive, but I don't really like using Carphone Warehouse as I often find there to be better deals perhaps if you go directly to the network, then you perhaps benefit more from the network's exclusive tariffs, however by putting things together in one store does make it easier. This store is huge for a branch of Carphone Warehouse on the lower floor of Westfield London in White City, the store its-self is modern, and stands out and is probably one of the nicer branches of Carphone Warehouse I have visited, it also has numerous phones on display including a large Apple selection, if you're looking at picking up the latest iPhone this store is so much quieter than Apple's store elsewhere in the mall, meaning you don't have to fight as much to get your hands on the latest device. The staff didn't seem too eager, which surprised me as I'd presume they'd want to come over and help customers and help sign them up on the latest tariffs, because that's what they work for. I did find there to be a lack of information on tariffs at the devices, as they seem to prefer a more personal, salesman approach here, but I don't see why they can't do both with a rough estimate of quotes perhaps even loaded onto the device, as I have seen this before such as at Three on Oxford Street, which is just a short bus ride away from here. I find it interesting one of the few providers to do this, actually don't have a partnership with Carphone Warehouse so you can't shop with Three here. The store does stand out and is one of the nicer phone shops, and Carphone Warehouse stores I've visited, despite some flaws with the staff and presentation of prices, it is still a big, modern store which can be a fine example of all other Carphone Warehouse stores, many of which are crying out in need of help. 4*

I was in heaven. The staff were really helpful, I guess it has to be a pretty fun place to work, but even so, they were perfectly willing to indulge any degree of craziness, which was a good job in my case.
