This quaint little shop on Bricklane is just adorable as is the man who runs the business. He is always so helpful and has fin ideas and amazing frames. I just recently had three prints re-framed with these gorgeous gold gilded frames and they look beautiful.

Dropped in here semi-recently and kept forgetting to write a review. They were very friendly and…read morehelpful. I'm not very knowledgable on art, and so I just buy what I like. This place had reasonably priced items by smaller artists that made it very approachable. I bought a piece for like 400, which in the scheme of something hanging on your walls for decades isn't too bad. I visited a bunch of other galleries that were stuffy and had very expensive stuff. This gallery has a lot of things that regular, "non-art", people would buy and hang on their wall. I researched a few of the artists in there and they all seemed like fairly new artists that were getting their feet wet, so it feels good to support them.

Nelly Duff is one of those places you'll want to stop on by. If you like street art and are looking for something from some very talented up and coming artists, this will be the place to get it. Starting from £100 you can purchase some fabulous prints, they even frame them for you! I love it so much because it really is affordable art. They have a keen eye as to what's on trend right now so you get some of the best up and coming names on display. It's also great for iconic London prints, postcards and small Christmas presents. If you know a Londoner and you are struggling to by them a gift, this shop can help.

They take cash only and will have you usually pay half up front as a deposit (there is a cash point at the Coop down the street... one of the ones that 'speaks' cockney). There is generally a wee bit of bargain room and the work has always looked very professional. Turn around is usually about a week. Framing things is an investment, but the look afterwards is worth it!

Run by a deeply unpleasant woman named Claire. Extremely rude, offensive and seems to think…read moresmaller projects are beneath her. I went to her despite some negative reviews of her on Google but since I was in the area, I decided to get a quote. She started by loftily claiming they do only 'classy' frames when in truth there wasn't much of a selection aside from black, white and grey and some ornate. Then came mounting boards which were also available only in these 3 colour tones. I knew by then she was not only very limited in range and choice, she was also seriously lacking in good nature and customer skills. I decided however to give her the benefit of the doubt - I value eccentricity in craftsmen but she was something else - as I needed mine framed quite urgently. I finally left taking my custom elsewhere after she told me she was running out of patience with my 'stupid' questions and that she's not inclined to explain further about the various types of framing methods because it was 'beyond me'. I kept my cool and walked out after calmly telling her I find her very rude and had made genuine efforts to remain polite and friendly in spite of her behaviour. To retaliate any further in response to some of the boorish comments she's made would've lowered me to her stoop. A person so sadly repugnant in personality and behaviour, a Rottweiler with rabies would've elicited less aversion and more empathy from me. Avoid at all cost.

The Only Place for Pictures sells so much more than posters. I have yet to find another store that…read moresold such a wide variety of picture frames. I was almost overwhelmed at the selection and quality. The store also sells beautiful cards, books, mugs and oh yeah pictures. What I like the most about the shop is that they will frame pictures you bring in and when I asked about pricing they seemed to be pretty reasonable. In addition the store does carry some incredible pictures, including one of Audrey Hepburn that I had not seen before and I'm a huge fan! This is a great shop to find a gift for someone who likes interesting and clever gifts.

However, the results are great and (if you are not invited to chez moi) can also be viewed at the Almeida (who also utilise the same service).

I am a particular fan of the cards which are more unusual than standard Clintons fare.

Looking for a place to have a newly acquired piece of artwork framed (I am getting of that age…read moreobviously...) and literally stumbled across this place when we went for a wander. They also have another shop of the same name in Islington. Not only is this a place to get art framed, you can also grab yourself some cool prints, pictures and photos, as well as a decent range of trinkets and keep-sakes. The service here was fantastic. The print we wanted framed only just fitted in the car as it was taped to a large cardboard back to keep it safe, but there was no way this was getting back in there once framed...so they agreed to drop it off one day with their van, at no extra cost, fantastic! I have a few more things that need framing and although prices are not cheap (are they ever when it comes to framing?), I'll be coming back.

This shop is part glass and mirror shop and part framing service. I've had some weird interactions…read morewith both sides of the business, but I persevere because they're just down the road. When I needed glass replacing in a window, I went in here for a quote and the guy exploded at me in anger for not coming in earlier in the day. I've never been told off before for being late as a customer! Anyone would think he was employing me, rather than the other way round! I used them anyway and they sent another guy round who replaced the window glass very quickly, so I don't know what all the fuss was about. (I suspect it had something to do with an afternoon football match.) I have also used the framing service and got a print reframed here for £20-£25, which I was pleased with. But when I went in recently for a quote, the guy handling the framing side didn't seem to know how to deal with more than one customer at once and just ignored me, even though the couple in front were busy browsing and he could easily have attended to me while they were making up their minds. I gave up waiting in the end and went home. A word of warning: beware asking the glass guy about frames or vice versa. I once made that mistake and got told in no uncertain terms that they are not responsible for the other half's business (a tad confusing as they share the shop, so how would you know?!). So watch out for shopkeepers with anger management issues! A handy shop to have on your high street, nonetheless.
