There's a Tiger shop on Oxford Street! This is great fun…read more This Tiger opened about 5 weeks back and it's really big with a large selection - bigger than any other London location I've visited. Fun variety and helpful staff. Definitely a quirky place to pop in for stationery or minor crafty bits or inexpensive and lighthearted home decor.

You can get the most trendy wear and there is always better stock coming in. The downstairs section is phenomenal. Check it out if you would like to see an array of various clothing for both men and ladies, all made of leather! The prices are affordable, depending on what you are looking for.

How someone can give this place less than four stars is beyond me. If u don't like the stuff you…read moresee here, it's obvious you went into the store with the wrong premise to begin with. This place is amazing - its Asian kawaii. And it is magical, and a little beyond most adults. But being the forever imbiber of childlike ideas, this place seriously is like I've died and went to heaven. Great selection of stickers, notebooks, and honestly some tasteful and simple schedulers that one can actually get away with using for the working world if you don't mind being teased a little. Is mostly filled with Korean characters as well as some famous ones like moonin and Sanrio. (no San-x I can recall). Plushies, housewares, clothing, posters, and just an all out, no shame, full throttle kawaii explosion. Kawaii is an art form. Don't poop on it if you just don't get it.

Although Artbox was adorable, I wouldn't say it's a close representation to what's available at a…read moreSanrio store in Japan and has a smaller selection than you'd expect. The items also felt slightly dated and tended to lean towards certain characters like cinnamoroll with very little selection of black hello kitty or my melody. I half expected that Artbox would have a similar check out process to Japan, in which you received a small hello kitty bag tag on your bag and was disappointed when there wasn't. All in all, the items I purchased were adorable but the selection is small so if you drop in I'd recommend keeping expectations low.

I called in this branch of Waterstones before my train home from London Euston station nearby, this…read morebranch is on Tottenham Court Road, in a rather central London location, albeit it isn't as big as their flagship store as Piccadilly it is still a pretty decent branch, it's a new store, it feels new and as I recall it only opened in around 2016. They had a pretty decent selection, including multiple cafes (I don't really see the point of having two in a bookshop? surely having one cafe and more space for books would be a better idea or even space for toilets etc?) There wasn't a great deal of staff around the shop floor, I only noticed one person working at the tills which was a shame, and when it did get a little busy it would be hard to ask for assistance or where something is for example. The store did have slightly too many stands in the way, which meant pass through the store was slightly difficult, but this wasn't as bad as other stores. Overall a decent Waterstones store, it feels quite modern and does stand out compared to other branches I've visited, space could be utilised better with perhaps more staff to satisfy demand and offer assistance from locating to recommending a book. 3*

This branch of Waterstones - along with all of its other branches - is now closed temporarily, due…read moreto the coronavirus situation.

The only negative thing is that is a little bit overpriced now that she is getting more and more famous (but it is OK. A girl can never have enough bags!) I visit this shop frequently. It is quite small but it is really cosy and cute. They have a nice range of products (even though they miss some others, like fashion). The staff is friendly and really helpful every time I go there. My favourite CK shop for sure!

We saw this on our way to dinner in London recently and we were curious what the name of the store…read morestood for. There was a very nice guy behind the counter who explained that it didn't mean the U.K. Sucked. The store is filled with lots of unusual items. I especially liked the color changing umbrella. I wanted to buy everything I saw. He gave me a great catalogue that you can order from. Drop by and see what great things they have.

Even if you're not a diehard fan of Paddington Bear, this is a really cute store to visit right…read moreinside of Paddington Station. There's a lot of merchandise to choose from, from clothes to stationary to books to toys. There's also 2 realistic looking statues of Paddington inside the store you can pose with. Since our hotel was literally across the street, we went back twice with 2 different British friends who had never been and also thought it was really cute. The second time around I also went back specifically for a keychain version of Paddington. To this day it's still one of my favorite souvenirs from London.

They have a fine selection of the best quality oil, acrylic and watercolour paint. They also sell paper, canvas, brushes and easels.

Great shop full of souvenirs with decent prices. Bought a few things for friends at home, like…read morescarves and tins of shortbread. I thought the prices were comparable with what I've seen at other places and the quality superior. For the history of the place, it used to be the stables for the castle and the horses used to take a dip in the river. Then the menagerie was moved to Regent Park and later it became the zoo. Or so said the helpful check out person on the second floor. I would definitely recommend.
