This is a very old and traditional market hall based in East Ham. Its a surreal mix of traditional…read moreEast end businesses and stalls run by various immigrants. The stalls are all under cover and range from Delis to shops selling silk saris alongside African grocers. An interesting mix of shops due a rich tradition of immigrants from Poles to West Africans to the local area. I've been shopping here for years as they have such a lovely garden centre where I purchase all my vegetable plants for the garden every spring. There are a cafe for those seeking a break from the hustle and bustle of shopping.

Wow how this place has changed a lot, I used to get my computer games here when I was a kid, I…read moreloved walking around the market looking at the mirrors that made you look funny and eating in the little cafe. None of the same shops are here anymore it seems to only cater for the locals now, Eastham has changed so much over the last ten years and the markets just has busy great place to get forign foods and cheap goods. Not really my cup of tea now but things have to change and it seems to be doing well, give it a try.

This is a sprawling retail park, with a huge B&Q, Argos, Currys, PC World, DFS, etc But the star of…read morethis are the outlet shops, especially Boots and Next. Forget the sales the prices in these are sooo low. Best visited just before and after the normal stores have their sales.

This PC World is a absolute disgrace, I bought a netgear router, it was faulty so I returned it for…read morea replacement, the guy in the store wanted to charge me full price instead of web price I originally paid!! I told him I'm replacing a faulty item, and my actual words were "are you joing?" he then said he'll refund it and I should go home and rebook online then return for the new one. The manager wasn't present so I had no choice but to do it. To make things worse, I wrote to PC World customer service to complain about their ridiculous replacement policy and after a week "Ian Turner PCWorld Team" replied with a copy and paste of the FAQ which states and branch will "happily refund or replace" - no point even arguing because they emailed me from a "no-reply" email address. I don't know where else to complain so I'm making it my mission to paste these honest reviews everywhere. If this happens to you, stand in the store and STAMP your feet until they are reasonable - I wish I wasn't so intimidated and had done the same thing.

LOVE, LOVE....! This shop....!…read more I get a lot of people asking me 'where did you get this! & that...! BUT!! when i say 'TK MAXX' automatically i get HUH... OH...! 'I don't like that place it too confusing' They haven't master the skills of this shop yet!! Only a few of us know how!! And won't tell you their skills.. Soooooo...! I am going to tell you a few of my skills.. Just a few!! 1.) WHEN YOU GO IN GET A BASKET OR TROLLEY (it always best to put everything you find in there) 2.) GET THERE EARLY!! (You are more likely to get a few treasure.) 3.) START FROM ONE AREA AND WORK YOUR WAY DOWN THE STORE 4.) IF YOU LIKE IT PUT IN YOUR BASKET OR TROLLEY STRAIGHT AWAY..!! (sort them out later.) 5.) DON'T LEAVE YOUR BASKET OR TROLLEY, YOU WELL GET SOME PEOPLE DIPPING THEIR HANDS IN..!! TRUST ME!!! 6.) ALWAYS TRY THEM ON BEFORE YOU BUY..!!! I can't tell you anymore my sister in laws will not be happy...sorry! Happy shopping ;-)

I normally go to the Lewisham TK Maxx since it's nearly door to door by bus. Today, we decided to…read moretry this location since Lewisham Mall has a tendency to get a bit crowded on the weekends. So, I'd say its 2 stars for selection, but an additional star for being less packed. The women's clothes selection is quite small, and the shoe selection is downright sparse. There's a better selection of sunglasses in this location, and we found some nice childrens book sets for boys and girls. Generally, I'd say to do your core shopping at nearby H&M and Next, and then stop in to TK Maxx if you have a little more time and money to kill on the off chance you find something you like.

The Beckton Triangle Retail Park is a good place to go if you do not want to deal with crowds and…read morebusy shopping centres like Lakeside. It is easy to get to at the connections of A13 and the A406, it is about 10 minutes away from the Canary Wharf district. I started going there for office purposes to buy Stationery but then just discovered the Next Outlet and the Boots Outlet towards the rear of the retail park - it is my weekly haunt, as I go to rummage through the Next store and pick up work clothes for as little as £1 during sales periods. I now also buy all my makeup, cosmetics, perfume and shampoos from the Boots outlet which are between £.50p and £2.50 each. I picked up lots of N07 eye shadow makeup and lipsticks for 50p each. there is absolutely nothing wrong with them at all. There is an Argos, Maplins, Pets at Home, B&Q, PC World and other stores around. It is a 5 min driving distance to Gallions Reach which has all the high street labels all in an excellent and easy to get to location.

This a really hard to find retail park but well worth the trouble. Theres a boots clearance, 'next' to nothing, a JD clearance and a massive Woolworths clearance shops Matalan and also a gardening/DIY type shop all selling ridiculously cheap bargains that are either end of line or past seasons stock.

The Greenwich Pier was of our stops on the Uber boat which hosts the Greenwich Market, which…read moreincludes an array of foods and retail outlets in a small old village type setting. We ate lunch and had a cold beer from the Old Brewery then attended a tour of the Cutty Sark, which is a huge replica ship from the 1800s. They even had a ferris wheel for the kiddies. Fun time in the market but you definitely need an entire day to get the full effect.

Are you staying near Excel? Do you want a convenience store? You have two options:…read more1. Whistlestop in the conference center. Be prepared for overpriced food, highly-variable (and unpredictable) hours, and the company of people wearing suits. 2. This place. It's not the best Tesco Express I've seen. They have a rather small selection of ready-to-go meals, and I think they only get one delivery of pastries per day. But they're open early, they're open late, and their prices are good, in spite of being the only food option for the numerous hotels and upscale residential developments that have gone up nearby. Go Tesco!

ICON Outlet at The O2 opened towards the end of 2018 and is a fairly exciting and unique concept of…read morehaving a decent-sized (211,000 square feet) Outlet mall built in the O2 Arena, of course, you have a Cineworld, the main O2 arena and multiple restaurants and coffee-shops on the lower floor but the Icon Outlet adds a twist to that. The ICON Outlet does also have a few stores including Nike and Adidas on the lower floor and I think they share the restaurants which are located below - as they are on both the arena and mall's website - but the restaurants were there before the Icon even existed so I'm not sure how that situation works. Many of the stores here are pretty small - most notably the Whittard store but they do have some fairly common house-hold names and designer brands from Ted Baker to Hotel Chocolat. Levi's to Moss Bros. Lindt to Tommy Hilfiger. (For a full list see my photo) Like the arena as the whole, the area was pretty modern and clean. Unlike most outlet stores, I found some of them to actually have higher prices than their highstreet counterparts. - bizarre. I don't really like Outlet malls but as far as this one goes it's A-OK - it isn't really worth a trip out to but if you want to kill some-time before watching a film or seeing a show at the O2, or if you're in the Greenwich area (North Greenwich Tube Station is just outside) it is a cool place to check-out to kill time.

Originally this was called The Exchange, before recently being re-branded as The Mall. Unless there…read morehas been a sudden influx of Americans into Ilford, then I am not really sure of the wisdom behind the name change. It seems to me like the name is the only thing that has changed - everything else is pretty much the same as it's always been. The Mall is your typical, run-of-the-mill middle of town shopping centre. It has a Marks & Spencers, it has a Thorntons, it has a few sports shops and it has a food court. That's pretty much all there is to say. The Mall is nothing if not unremarkable. It's pleasant enough; and reasonably clean. If you're in the need of some typical stuff, y'know, like a scarf, a new pair of jeans or a pencil; then this place will probably do the job. I've always found it a bit depressing though; but then I am not one for shops. Let me buy something online and I'll be happy!.

I do recommend stopping by at the Hi-Juice Bar on the 2nd level - GREAT selection of fruit juices and smoothies. They have a 3-level car park and even a car-wash service whilst you shop - perfect for first-time visits to the girlfriend's/boyfriend's parents; a box of Thorntons chocolates and a clean car...you'll have marital approval almost immediately!!!
