Wellington's has a large showroom in North Heath in Erith which allows you to look at appliances…read morebefore you rent or buy them which is very useful. The prices are reasonable too as they offer discount prices compared to other High Street retailers. Tags often include a price from another retailer (such as Argos, B&Q or Comet) and Wellington's lower price below. In some cases the prices are only fractionally cheaper but every little saving adds up. The service is efficient and friendly and the staff are clued up on their stock. The shop is tidy, spacious and rarely busy and so getting around and getting to talk to staff is easy enough. Parking is available in Northumberland Avenue around the corner. If you're looking for appliances for your home then Wellingtons should be checked out when you're shopping around.

House Proud is a tiny housewares shop next door to Pizza Hut in North Heath. It sells a small range…read moreof items from cleaning goods and storage solutions to little gifts such as ornaments, picture frames and clocks. It is a good little shop with a wholesome and local vibe. I love a good thrift shop and this one doesn't disappoint. There is competition in the area in the form of Discount City down the road which edges it because of its size and ability to hold more stock but this one is a good one to check out. The goods aren't the greatest quality but you get value for money and the items do the job which you bought them for. The shop is close to the Mill Road car park and if you happen be in the area or live locally it is worth popping into. Not one to travel to North Heath specifically for. Also not one for the kids as the shop is small and there is plenty for them to knock off the shelf and break.
