The cobbler here is fantastic. He treats your issue as a personal challenge! I had a pair of boots…read moreI loved that could not be saved but he gave them a try (with my permission) and they are still going months later. The dry cleaning side is also good - I never had an issue. And the sewing service is fine for quick jobs. I would probably go to a tailor for something other than turn ups or quick fixes though. Good range of stock - polish, laces, watch batteries, etc.

I'm a woman who uses heels for work (which wear down quickly). The service is fast too so I'm not waiting around for a long time. The prices are a little steep, to Heel & rubber-size (not sure if that is the correct term, or even a term) a pair of shoes cost nearly £30. Which you can (if you look hard enough) purchase a pair of shoes for. They also have a dry cleaning service, a sewing service and a whole range of polish, laces, umbrellas etc. Again a little on the pricey side for what they are selling,

I went in here looking for glasses. For a present, they make good presents I think because they…read morealways seem to break so even if a person is fully stocked up at the moment, you know that your gift will come in useful sooner or later. And because your gift will also inevitably break at some point you can reuse the idea next year. This is a kitchen ware store mostly. They sell all sort of gadgets as well as the basics, salt and pepper shakers and cutlery. They also sell some gardening stuff and general homeware. I suppose it's like a more up market Homebase without all the hassle.

I was hopeful the recent takeover would result in a more positive experience but the staff remained and no customer service training appears to have been undertaken. It is also quite expensive for some products. It's a shame because they now have a very nice range and the layout is much improved.

I like having a little look around the different Oxfam's around and about. You just never know,…read morethat's the thing. Could be awful, could be cool - like a glass of milk from a temperamental fridge. This one is in two different parts, one for clothes and one with books and all sorts. I like the books especially. I never really have enough patience for the clothes. Oxfam sell books for really cheap though, less than £3 often and the stock is usually pretty interesting. Good friendly local feel here too - always worth a look.

One of my favourite shops in Hampstead!!…read more I can't help myself from strolling in almost every time I'm in that area... Found new shoes, wedges for me. Lots of baby clothes (The White Company, Baby Gap, Zulily, ma Small selection with big turnover of baby/kids clothing. About 5 or 6 racks of almost-perfect-almost-new-clothes. Seasonal. Just walked in and they had a big bucket Af new bikinis, with tags. The staff is always helpful, mostly super slow but friendly and French. (Yes, don't know why, but it's a very French shop)

The furniture is large amd the look is minimalist -it needs a big room to really carry it off.But there is also a wonderful range of accessories in creams and beeches to complement the dark woods. Search out immaculate bed linen, natural wood picture frames, rush weave baskets and oversized vases. Good value for money, this is a deservedly popular and classy look.
