A few years ago this was mainly a DIY place where you could pick up paint and the like. However…read morethey have put in a first floor, which doubles the space and it now has kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms, making it far more useful. There are invariably lots of sale items and it is certainly worth a look if you fancy a new kitchen. However it still stocks the usual suspects.

I wanted to hate Robert Dyas. I really really did. I think I was already starting to…read more Why? Because Robert Dyas is the stock answer to every inquiry I have. Me: Where can I find halogen light bulbs for my bathroom? Them: Robert Dyas. Me: I need distilled water for my steamer; where can I get it? Them: Robert Dyas. I could go on but I think you get the picture. I'm learning that part of the UK-resident-settling-in-process is letting go of the idea that your grocery store will have distilled water. It's getting over your desire to have pharmacies also carry light bulbs, cleaning products and stuff to eat and drink (e.g. Rite Aid, CVS, Walgreens, Duane Reade.) This is also the part where I mention how much I miss Target... My bathroom is no longer dark thanks to the halogen bulbs I found at Robert Dyas. And my steamer will be so much happier when I give it a big swig of the deionised water I also got here (don't get me started on the limescale deposits in London tap water!) Moral of the story? If you need it for your flat, Robert Dyas probably has it.

For the love of all that is good and right in the world... as a home goods shop, why do you -not-…read moresell laundry hampers of any shape, size, or variety? Arrrrgggghhhh! Whew. I got that out of my system. Lack of needed laundry containment unit aside, Robert Dyas has a shockingly solid selection of everything you'd want to clean, freshen, organise, improve, or possibly raze your home. And it won't even cost you an arm and a leg. But please... don't make me haul my ass all the way over to John Lewis for a laundry hamper. Please? NB: Plastic is accepted but AmEx is not.

They often do offers on seasonal plants and pots, and reward card holders can also earn money off vouchers. Sign up for the newsletter for even more offers. Over Christmas they have the most amazing selection of Christmas decorations and gifts, as well as real live reindeers to visit! All year round they have a great gift shop, perfect for picking up an unusual present. A great selection of locally produced food, and a great restaurant for refreshment while you shop.

For those of you who don't know this is a company that makes adorable tat that appeals to teenage girls and ridiculous women like me who insist of super cute nonsense in their homes. These guys only sell wholesale and I have never seen a collection like this in a shop. We are talking appliqued pirate bunting and hand painted Russian Doll photo pegs, white bird cages with stuck on flowers and butterflies. If you are looking for a new baby gift they have brilliant kiddies room decoration stuff, and as for stocking fillers, well this place is ideal. Nothing is more than £20 and some start from as little as £2.95 so you can really go nuts if you wanted to. As I have mentioned before I have happy places in London, this is one of them. I hate to Yelp this but I will and I am sharing this happiness with you.
