Excellent shop!!! Staff are knowledgeable and friendly…read more Although they don't stock everything on the shop that you can find on the website, the gentleman I spoke to was more than happy to order some stuff in for me - which arrived two days later! I'm loving my Berghaus jacket and now go to Outdoor Kit whenever I want anything from toasty socks to a comfy fleece.

Made a very fruitful stop into Kathmandu a few months back as I was prepping for my first…read moretransatlantic trip with a baby. I came looking for a rucksack. I left with a suitcase with detachable rucksack (a suitcase that can be carried as a rucksack, with arm straps!) and a huge duffel bag to stow the carseat in. I thought the prices to be competitive (the duffel bag only £14!) and the service top notch. The guy helped me with everything, took it to the counter while I looked around, helped me with the Summit Club membership and packaged it all up smoothly so I could get it back to my flat. The Kathmandu items are high quality and have already made many trips. They are durable and sleek, and high performance. Just what I needed. The last thing you want to deal with while traveling (with a baby or not) is crap luggage. Summit club membership is free and gains you access to great deals (most of the deals advertised, so...if you want 'em, you'll sign up). Sign up!

I've always been a bit suspicious of Kathmandu-type stores, due to the fact that I'm the least…read moreoutdoorsy person you could come across. I always believe 'outdoor' stores were specially for extreme snowboarders or wannabe Nepalese-mountain climbers. Boy, was I wrong. Set right next to Spitalfields Market and boasting some rather fit staff, Kathmandu has everything for the civilian to adventurer. Water flasks, jackets, thermals, little key ring things with torches on them, it has it all. I actually found heaps of stuff I wanted to buy - probably more in the way you deck yourself out with designer gym wear after only one visit, to realise you're not quite the gym junkie you thought you would become if in fact you had the correct gear. It was fun anyway.

Large and well-stocked outdoors shop with decent prices. It's actually quite a large chain, owned…read moreby JD Sports, and sells a wide range of well known brands. This store is on the market square just behind the church. It runs the length of the block, and is the largest outdoor store in Kingston. It has a cafe and soft-play area inside. I was on the look-out for a specific knee-high mid-weight sock, which I've been looking for, for ages, and was delighted that they had it in stock. It'll be a regular calling point for me from now on. Reasonably friendly staff, though I only needed to speak to them at the till.

This is the best place to go to if you're looking for high quality hiking gear. You can trust…read moreeverything you by from this shop - just ask for a bit of advice. The shop staff are highly knowledgeable and helpful but you'll be lost for awhile first in the treasure trove of hiking and climbing gear. Absolutely fantastic and worth every minute you spend in this shop.

From the owner: Our family-friendly park sits alongside the River Thames in the picturesque village of Hurley…read morebetween Henley-on-Thames and Marlow and has been run by four generations of the same family since 1926. With direct access to the River Thames and the Thames Path we are perfect for lovers of the river and walkers alike. For those with a boat or canoe we have two slipways and for those without we have over a mile of river frontage for picnics. With the lush green countryside of the Thames Valley all around, red kites circling above and the river traffic gliding past it is hard to believe we are only an hour outside London. We offer a happy, family-friendly atmosphere and only accept bookings from families and couples. We are proud that many of our caravanners and campers return year after year and recommend us to family and friends. In fact some of our customers who visited us as children now bring their own grandchildren!
