Yeah, that's right... I fancy a good tool shop every now and again. And I must say - of all the…read moretool shops in Shoreditch, (and there are plenty. Believe.) Leyland is the best. I've just moved flat and I soon learned that my new flat was, how to say, 'well loved, then left to s**t' by the previous tenants. Which is just fine, because I like a good mindless DIY project or 12. So I went in for a few necessities like pliers. And a part for my Hoover. And a US to UK power converter. And super glue. And a phone to DSL splitter thingy. And duct tape. All of which I asked for in that exact language and all of which the helpful staff immediately found for me. Their store is chock full with helpful items that I'm sure all have wonderful purposes unbeknownst to my wildest imagination. They had exactly what I needed and the price was right, so that's all 5-star action for me. SDM must stand for super duper magic. Or at least it should.

And it always seems, even if you don't think it, that these projects appear. I came in looking for: scissors, shims (uneven floors, I'm rolling off the bed!), an exacto knife (apparently lacking all sharp objects when we moved), cleaning supplies and an extension cord/power strip. I was successful in finding all but the shims (surprising, isn't' every flat in London uneven?) -- but found some of those furniture felt pads that should do the trick. The man that helped me was quite nice. Very helpful in leading me around the store on the "shim" mission and showed me downstairs to the lumber area, where they will not cut...but will provide you the saw to cut for yourself. Fair enough. Decent shop for most of your small project needs, including an entire paint section when you feel so inspired!

But the real scandal is what is happening to this store, very sadly, I hear, that the proprietor has been forced to move out soon by big developers and Council to make way for another bland café. Another case of the greedy landlords, bullying Developers and Council treating the independent retailer like this one with complete contempt, and also for its loyal and new customers who frequent and love this shop. This shop is a real institution. It's a total disgrace with what is happening to it!

I had been hoping to find one of the Shell Pink batter bowls because they, like the stoneware biscuit jars aren't sold in the states and are both very sought after items, but the batter bowls were no longer on the UK Le Creuset website, so I was excited to find one in store!

This is the 'flagship' store for Le Creuset in London. After having been there I'd say it…read moreresembles more a 'dinghy'. LDN Le Creuset 'boutique' is awkwardly narrow with bits of display areas jutting out at the shopper at strange angles as she wends her way along the product. The size and space of the shop probably wouldn't have felt so odd save for the fact that I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Le Creuset shop up in Glasgow. That store is large and square-shaped, easily navigable, and very attractively laid out with goodies. The London space just doesn't do the Le Creuset wares justice. Oh, yeah, there's a sort of secret-looking flight of stairs (shoppers entering the store had to be told about it) leading to an even narrower and shorter shop space that just feels a bit claustrophobic, if, however, showcasing a few more colours in the Le Creuset range. I specifically sought out LC to buy a butter dish (21 pounds) for a friend's birthday. They had a couple of said dishes on display, so I asked if I could purchase one. The sales person said she'd pull one from back stock (read: untouched by customers' hands) for me. She brought it up to the counter for me and, at my bidding, went off to look for a gift box. The dish's lid was scratched in more than a few places around the top (do sales people not see this, or do they hope that you don't see this, so you'll buy it in all your ignorant bliss?), so I asked if I could, please, choose another dish. Well, the majority of the dishes had scratches on them. I wound up buying the display dish (sort of the opposite of what I would normally do back home) as all the dish tops are stacked on top of one another in the back stock cupboards without a slip of tissue or bubble wrap in between them thus ensuring that they'll probably become scratched as they make contact with one another. The gift box found was really meant for a large item like a 24cm pot, or something, so the dish wound up swimming in it. I tried to politely decline the box, but, as the other sales person was going through a bit of effort trying to figure out how to stuff the box (crumpled up sheets of tissue paper that wound up looking junky), I stopped protesting and let her butcher, I mean, complete the wrap job. To be fair, the main sales person sort of salvaged the whole affair by neatly wrapping the dish and base separately in bits of tissue and cello tape. Of course there were still the crumpled balls of tissue in the box to contend with...bleh. Frankly, it was all a bit of overkill for a measly butter dish and I wound up recycling the box when I got home and re-wrapping the darn thing myself.
