This is a brand that's only recently been available in my home country so it was always going to be…read moreon my list of 'places to shop in London' They have great low riders and if you looking from a change from the bootleg or stovepipe style of jeans that have dominated denim fashion for the past few years-this is definitely the place to come to! At last!!! Wider legs and man style trousers, street jeans you wouldn't look out of place skating in...all the while maintaining a nice fit around the butt to keep it feminine. The quality of their Denim and the make show in the fit and feel of their jeans, extremely comfortable and flattering And if your one of those who just can't get past skinny leg denim- they've got you covered too!! along with tregs, waist coats, etc... Think Cate Moss and Sienna Miller (the later being the current face for Pepe Jeans) A bit expensive- a nice pair could set you back $150 Quid and starting... and I found the male staff spend more time trying to chat you up then actually sell you clothes.

Designer stores suffer a bit of a bad reputation when it comes to their staff. Some complain that…read morethe sales associates seem snobby and unhelpful unless you walk in dripping in cash... However, that is really not true of the Saint Laurent stores in London. I cannot rave enough about the incredible service they give you, even if you're just going for a browse the staff are friendly and welcoming. They're more than happy to engage in conversation with you and will happily give advice to those who aren't sure what exactly they're looking for. I'm lucky enough to shop here and I'll continue to be a loyal customer not only for the beautiful clothes and accessories Saint Laurent is so famous for, but for the outstanding customer service.

Visited this store between Christmas and New Year 2024, to buy nail polish. Assistant allowed me to…read moreleave with two nail products, that I purchased, one of which was not the very product that I had shown her a picture of! I was told by the manager subsequently that this was my error because I had apparently picked it up off the shelf, and that I could not swap it for the correct product because it was nail polish. The fact is that I had been so clear about what I had wanted to purchase, had not opened the product and had spent some considerable time with the assistant discussing the product. After some discussion by telephone with the manager, who refused my request for an exchange, she said she did not want an 'argument' about nail polish. Exactly so! But that is precisely to what I was subjected. I asked if I could return the polish by post for the exchange and was told no and that I had do so in person, the insinuation being this was a 'favour', just to add insult to injury. Such upsetting customer service.

Me: Do you happen to know if you sell lard here? Cashier:…read moreLard? Me: Yeah - I recently came into ownership of a cast iron skillet and I was reading about how I'm meant to season it with lard. Cashier: We don't have that here. I think you can get it at a grocery, like Sainsbury's or Tesco. Me: Oh. Okay. Lard aside, Nisbets sells virtually anything and everything you could possibly find in or around a kitchen, whether that kitchen is in your flat or at one of Blumenthal's restaurants. Pots, pans, knives, flatware, cutlery... you name it, they're likely to have it. Prices don't seem excessive, considering this is a massive specialist shop. My simple plastic 'Juice Extractor' (seriously, that's what it says on my receipt, verbatim) citrus reamer was merely £3. I expect to get far more utility from it than the affordable sum I paid for it. Considering my obsession with all manner of kitchen gadgets, I expect to drop a few wads of cash here in the months to come.

I still regret not buying a green T-Shirt a few months ago which said "GOONIES NEVER SAY DIE." My last visit I brought a white skinny vest top decorated with pink hearts. It was priced at £9.99, and as they are currently doing a promotion I received 30% off! That's the kind of maths I like to do! You can also get chunky jumpers, comfy jeans, hats, wallets and bags. The pay desk is a glass jewellery display counter full of accessoires. I spotted hand made necklaces priced £3-£10. You have to be very well disciplined not to pick out an extra treat for yourself!

I would definitely refrain from purchasing anything here before you have checked out the prices at TK Maxx first! Also if I remember correctly, I don't think you can get your money back if you simply change your mind about an item. I think store credit is the only option in this situation so buy carefully!

Date of visit: September 4, 2022…read more My husband always talks about how European fashion is so much more sophisticated than American fashion and we would see that at places like H&M. After perusing the selection here on Oxford Street, I have to say that I don't think it really is any different in the UK. That being said, the store was very clean and the limited staff interaction that we had was pleasant. I hadn't come across an H&M with self-checkout before and I was intrigued. Imagine how bummed I was when it gave me a bizarre warning after scanning my one and only item and I had to wait for a clerk to come over. She explained that it does random checks and I was "lucky" enough to get selected. That minor delaying mishap out of the way, it was an overall pleasant experience.

This tiny shop's shelves are jam packed with colorful and fun knick-knacks and household things that are useful, handy, and super cute (think mini submarine or brolly tea infusers, decorated tweezer and nail clippers, brollys, ice cube trays for the kiddies, puzzles, stacked espresso cups, French presses, and other household items like oven mitts, cheese graters, and teapots). Located conveniently on Carnaby Street with super friendly and helpful staff. Would be great for holiday stocking stuffer items as well.
