So High Soho is so eclectic. Downstairs they have a costume shop. I spent hours down there trying…read moreon boas and Superwoman outfits. Why aren't costumes daily wardrobe wear? Wouldn't humanity be much more interesting if we dressed up as alter-egos everyday, shielding our true identities from strangers, gallivanting around as heroes or truly heinous villains? I vote for 365 days of Halloween. Anyway, back to the shop. The main floor has an array of really cool randomness. Ashtrays, prints of Marilyn Monroe, games, keychains, tapestries, candles, incense, buttons, mugs; you name it they claim it. When I need to get a gift for someone I come here to buy it. Finding something cool here is guaranteed.

Being so far away form home and wanting to look fantastic for my first Halloween night out, i came…read moreacross So High Soho thanks to the amazing yelpers.. The service that was given to us was amazing. They were so busy as Halloween was the next night.. I picked up one customs an was told 'no no no don't try this Queen of Heart's costume this one is the best and so much more you..' I tried it on and was perfect, they ensure that had everything I need to look the best, a crown, makeup, playing card stockings, heart stickers the works. The costumes are very well price the shop is small and crowded stuff everywhere but the guys and girls that work there are amazing they know where everything is and the have so much passion for making you feel and look the part you want to play at your party.. If only it wasn't so far away they could dress me for all fancy dress parties..

I spent £80 with these lovely people and I got four great balloon formations for my 60th. It is…read morenearly one month on now and all four formations are still floating (albeit lying low - laugh). Husband and wife team were lovely to deal with - very helpful - and I would definitely buy my balloons from them again. Next party...my book launch!

There are, unsurprisingly, plenty of balloons available here - along with accessories such as…read moreballoon weights at sensible prices. However, there's plenty more too: party accessories run the full range from novelty banners and backdrops to a rainbow of paper plates, tablecloths and serviettes. However, I most often visit for the range of greetings cards. The selection is really impressive, and again prices are competitive. Service is also friendly and helpful.

This is a Toys R Us for adults! I went on the hunt today for mini cup cake liners and went in my…read morelocal bakery to ask where I should go. Head straight to the source was my thoughts. My baker lady said, "Party Party, just in Dalston market" so off I trotted. As I approached this vast store firstly I was shocked that I have lived here for 3 years and never actually seen this magical place. Down stairs as you walk in you are greeted by sales staff in themed waist coats, this time of year they have pumpkins all over them. The head fella wears a fez - that automatically gave these guys an extra star, it's not often I get sound advice from a fez but this guy knew his stuff. Downstairs there is this wonderful area filled with party accessories, from balloons to costumes (pretty basic but good value for money) and hats, masks, tinsel, tablecloths, candles the lot! But this wasn't the best of it... anyone who loves to bake needs to come here. Upstairs hidden away is a shop that sells cake accessories, from cutters, to edible glue, to silver balls, cake stands, plastic bride and grooms and more. I was in a rush and only meant to spend a few minutes picking up the liners but walked out with 2 silver cake trays, silver edible balls , cake liners, vanilla extra and icing caps. I want to go back and buy more right now. If you are making a cake, you must spot by here, it's everything you need all under one roof!

Their balloons are absolutely unique, I didn't see the models anywhere else. The staff is very patient when you have to try or open the different items to see how it will look after.

I went in looking for christening things and they found quite a lot of stuff out the back. It was a bit dusty but all in wrappers so didn't matter. I just have this impression that the small shop is hiding a huge store room at the back. If you don't see what you want just ask and I am sure they will find it for you. They have a good selection of helium balloons that they inflate for you. Parking is a bit hit and miss in the area, but after a few circuits you usually get something!

Anything you could ever want in terms of costumes or party…read moreequipment is available under one roof, it is like Toys R Us but for slightly more grown up people. This place is like an aladdin's cave of the ridiculous. My friends were holding a pirate party and I happened to find this place at the last minute. There was a whole aisle just for pirate gear. I was in heaven. The staff were really helpful, I guess it has to be a pretty fun place to work, but even so, they were perfectly willing to indulge any degree of craziness, which was a good job in my case. Even if you don't live in the area, if you have a fancy dress party to attend, it is well worth the trip.

You can hire or buy outfits. So so so much to choose from. Male or female, child or adult, you will…read morefind something. The difficulty is choosing which one! From Betty Boo to pirate wench, you name it, they've got it. They also provide party decorations for the whole shebang, or maybe just a plastic sword and pirate hat, what ever you want. Their window displays give great inspiration as well, the last one I saw was for a beach party so had lots of inflatable plamtrees and grass skirts! At hallowe'en they don't just go for the easy option, last hallowe'en they had a Beetlejuice inspired display. Geniuses. Pop in if not just to kill time before your train. Such a fun shop.
