My nephew back in Germany is crazy about the miniature London double decker bus I gave him for this…read morepast Christmas. So when I walked by this store (on my way to Highgate Wood) this past weekend and I spotted a kid's T-shirt with the London bus featured on it, I knew that this would be the perfect gift for said nephew's upcoming birthday! Walking into the shop, the lady behind the counter greeted my with a warm smile and offered her help. I right away liked how she was very passionate about the T-shirts and other garments made my a local designer. As I didn't have any money on me, she put the T-shirt aside for me and when I came back later in the day, I also bought another T-shirt for my other nephew...they are just too cute! Aside from children's clothing, this shop offers plenty of other gifteable things...the perfect location for anyone who's in need of a present ;-)

Vegetarian Review:…read more My experience: I entered on a Sunday morning for Sunday Brunch at 11 Am. Because they do not sell alcohol, they were very accomodating to us bringing our own wine bottle and charged a minimal corkage fee Restaurant design: absolutely beautiful establishment with beautiful authentic ceramics, cookbooks, olive oils, and spice mixes for sale. Service: 5/5 Service was very kind and welcoming , ensured my party had lemon water throughout our meal and we enjoyed our food The 18£ Sunday brunch also included a delicious mint tea. Food: 5/5 As our server brought our fist course out I thoroughly enjoyed the hummus, baba ganoush, zataar halloumi and falafel. Everything was spiced delicately and packed with flavor. My party sat in silence as we ate our food. At some point I realized that we had abandoned our conversation that we were having before the meal arrived. Then more and more food came out. The Fatteh was the star of the show, there were two Fatteh dishes, one with eggplant and one with garbanzo beans, both with absolutely incredible. Finishing off with some Baklava, I thought that sticking with the pistachio was the safe choice, but someone insisted we try the walnut, and I am so glad we did. I started with the pistachio and thought it was phenomenal, and yet, when I tried the walnut baklava, it was even better. I cannot recommend Cafe Palestina highly enough.

I personally think Bedfords is the coolest gift shop around. I had no notion of it's philanthropic…read moreties until now. Bedfords sells really cool gifts and stuff for the home for amazing prices. Some of the stuff here is made by people in the community, some is not. I did not know the skull pencils in the skull pencil container for 1.75 was made by someone trying to better themselves. I just liked the gift. I love the dishware here and the bath sponge which looks like a burger ( a soya burger..hello.) I loved the elbow mouse resting pad. I liked everything about this place. Nothing is used but the proceeds go towards helping the community and the shop is staffed by people looking to move into retail and the goods are created by people less fortunate. I just think this store has great stuff. Nice to know it also helps society but the main draw is the gorgeous stuff!

Bedfords is a charitable gift and home store in the middle of Holloway Road, not that you would…read moreknow it is charity shop on first sight. They trade in furniture and furnishings which are made by people on the Peter Bedford scheme in their own workshops, as well as selling home accessories, glass and ceramics from other suppliers. They specialise in Polish glassware (the first thing you see when you enter the shop is a display of handmade, glass wind chimes) and ceramics- there is a whole wall of hand decorated mugs. The best thing about the shop is the selection of very affordable traditional children's toys at the back of the shop- marbles, cards, board games and rattles.

They also sell Fireworks of all types, all year round. It's on Stroud Green Road which, if you've been there before you'll know, is a fairly quiet place.

I took a good look around and I will say this is a good place to get nutrition supplements as well like Solgar vitamins. Some of the brands they sell are Clarins and Vichy and they have a whole load of fragrances. This store is crammed with all sorts of stuff, and the makeup is the main attraction and some furry animals slippers. This is a health gift shop not a chemist.
