The Ealing Broadway centre is my go to for all my day to day needs! Situated just a few minutes…read morewalk from Ealing Broadway station (central and district lines) it's convenient and has plenty of shops to choose from. There are multiple jewellers, sportswear shops and clothing stores including H&M, Marks and Spencer and River Island for bigger purchases sitting alongside Tiger, Poundland, Boots, Superdrug, Primark and Tesco for your day to day requirements! You can equally pop in to grab a pint of milk as you can find a new set of make up brushes or killer stilettos. The square at the centre has recently been refurbished with shiny new seating and is home to the annual Christmas market as well as food pop-ups throughout the year. There are often pop up activities during school holidays for children, including a previous installation of deckchairs and a giant sandpit plus free craft activities. Ealing's shopping centre has almost all the convenience of the centre of town, with much fewer people and smaller queues!

Ealing Broadway Centre is a shopping Centre which includes retail shops of every nature clothes,…read morefootwear, books, cards, electrical, beauty, food, gift shops and some independent (food confectionery, cafe's)shops. In the middle of the shopping Centre you have a few statues and seating to rest your tired feet, or for your loved one to wait while you shop. On the top floor you have Argos and Ealing Central Library. On the ground floor mostly chains and the odd cheap non chain shop basically everything I mentioned above, plus Tesco's. I really like their Primark, I would say its on the level of Oxford street but without the crazy crowds. Ealing Broadway Centre is on the Uxbridge road so its convenient to get to, because all the buses pass their plus you have the Ealing Broadway station which is a 10minutes away. They also have their own car park as well. The shopping Centre is good for the locals, but I would not go out of my way here, because you can get majority of the stuff where you live, (I lived in Harrow at the time). I wished i tried some of the independent shops more....its a good shopping Centre and does the job.

The London Designer Outlet is the outlet mall right outside Wembley Stadium, it's a pretty cool…read moreplace, a mixture of indoor and outdoor shops and restaurants. It opened towards the end of 2013 yet still feels modern. The stores located here like any Outlet can be hit or miss depending on the season and how lucky you can get, but there is a good selection of brands including Boss, Calvin Klein and Marks and Spencer. There's a large amount of places to eat and drink here too, as there is around Wembley as a whole. LDO also features a Cineworld Cinema. PRO TIP: Use the tube if coming here as Wembley Park Underground Station is only a short walk away, parking is expensive and on an event day, you'll be paying a flat rate and spending hours getting out of the car park. Overall, it's a cool location to grab a bite to eat or shop, especially on a non-event-day, walking around the mall, you can also see the iconic Wembley Stadium arch. 4*

This store is in a warehouse complex just east of North Acton station. The entrance to the complex…read moreis on Victoria Rd. It looks like an office complex and is hard to imagine any grocery stores are in it, so it was intimidating to walk through what looked like a gated area at first. I followed the winding path for 2-3min and found Unit 16 towards the end of this estate. The store is very spacious and has pretty much anything you ask for from a Japanese supermarket. I found snacks, sweets, rice, noodles, sauces, frozen food, drinks and some kitchen and household items. It even had a small shelf for Japanese books. (No photos allowed inside for some reason) This place can fulfill your needs for Japanese food. It is hidden, but don't hesitate to go in!

LOVE. THIS. PLACE…read more Seriously, a Godsend. Being Japanese, I was concerned about how I would meet my Japanese food needs when I moved to London. I moved into a student housing accommodation in North Acton and was super duper excited to find that there was a Japan Centre 5 minutes away. It's a little tricky to find at first. It's in an industrial complex and you have to walk down the car entrance for a bit. The store is at the end on the left. Obviously, since this is a warehouse and not a full grocery store, the selection is limited compared to the Soho location. They have a small selection of fresh produce but mostly you will find nonperishable and frozen items. It's good enough and saves me from having to haul my butt to Soho. There's also a "sale" section with foods that are past their sell-by dates. It's mostly stuff that lasts a long time and the reduced price is an added bonus.

I spent Sunday looking for an Indian outfit for a wedding. Having had bad experiences that day in 3…read moreother stores on Ealing Road, I stepped into KrishnaSarees and was greeted very quickly. To my relief I was offered help right away (I'm lost in these Indian clothes stores without any help!). I told the lady what I was looking for and she took me straight to their collection. I liked how the outfits are all hung up quite high so you can really see the full dress. In some of the other shops on Ealing road, they're all folded and packed away in plastic packaging and a shop worker needs to get them out for you to see...of all the shelves stacked full of folded outfits, you can't really know which you want them to show you since all you can see is the colour. So I was quite pleased with Krishna Sarees' set up, it helped me find something I liked quite quickly, bought the first thing I tried on. They recommend a local tailor to carry out any alterations you may need (90% of indian outfits will need to be altered to fit!). All the staff I spoke to were extremely helpful and not at all pushy like a lot of the other shops on Ealing Road. They have a website too which again, makes it better than other stores in Wembley (yes Indian clothes shopping has not yet universally caught up with modern times). They have a wide range of styles and prices too, allowing you to find something that suits your budget. I'd recommend this shop be your first stop if you're shopping in Wembley since it may be the only one you need to visit.

In 1972, the family moved to London to Ealing Road, opening a small saree shop to become one of the first in the area. Since then business has grown rapidly as we have established a large and loyal customer base, some of whom have remained with us since our early days in Nairobi. We are now established as one of the oldest, largest and most trusted Indian clothing retailers in London, all the while remaining in the same family.

The last time I went there, I was buying some shoes an lingerie, lingerie was not a problem but I needed some help in the shoe section, not a single member of staff available on the whole floor to help, so I ended up buying just one pair as opposed to 2 that I wanted to purchase. When I then went to pay there was only one cashier behind the tills and 8 people ahead of me, the cashier kept ringing her bell for a good 15-20 minutes to call for more staff and no one came for over 20 minutes and then two people arrived at the same time and did not seem at all bothered when the other cashier said she'd been calling them for ages. At least 4 people who were behind me left the items they wanted to buy and walked out of the store, this is a sure fire way to lose business, this was around 6pm, people were saying they had just popped in for a quick shop after work and had trains to catch from Ealing Broadway. I never used to have any complaints with the level of service once I'd actually managed to get served but even that seems to have gone downhil of late, what a shame! The quality of the items for sale can't be faulted whether it be clothing, shoes, lingerie, food, drinks, household items, gifts, etc, but the queues really need to move faster. The sales can be fantastic with some really good bargains too! This level of service is not acceptable and I'm sad that this once fabulous store which I always felt had fanstastic customer service has sunk this low. I used to go to M&S at least twice a month and now I visit every other month only. And they wonder why business is down?! Management really need to improve service levels or lose more customers. When you have half an hour for lunch, you really don't want to queue for 20 minutes to get a sandwich!
