Our neighbour is a plumber, and he recommended that we come here and have a look at their stock. They have a huge selection of paints, some really good tiles, excellent value flooring (we saw nice-looking solid oak floorboards that worked out under £30 per square meter...we might have to come back!!) They even have a selection of baths/ showers/ loos/ bathroom fittings. It is CHEAP!! I thought Tops tiles was good value, but this place made their tiles seem expensive!! *Pro-tip: Be careful if you want to park near here! We saw a traffic warden wandering around and all the parking spaces seemed to be for residents only!!

House Proud is a tiny housewares shop next door to Pizza Hut in North Heath. It sells a small range…read moreof items from cleaning goods and storage solutions to little gifts such as ornaments, picture frames and clocks. It is a good little shop with a wholesome and local vibe. I love a good thrift shop and this one doesn't disappoint. There is competition in the area in the form of Discount City down the road which edges it because of its size and ability to hold more stock but this one is a good one to check out. The goods aren't the greatest quality but you get value for money and the items do the job which you bought them for. The shop is close to the Mill Road car park and if you happen be in the area or live locally it is worth popping into. Not one to travel to North Heath specifically for. Also not one for the kids as the shop is small and there is plenty for them to knock off the shelf and break.

I love looking at this shop, usually through the window because it is hardly ever open. The shop…read moremainly deals with antique furniture but has other bits and pieces as well. The best thing about the place is that everything is of a good quality, the worst thing is that it just isn't very cheap. I had my eye on a very simply designed old school chair, unfortunately it was about 70 pounds. I guess for people with a disposable income that wouldn't be a problem, at least your getting a quality product, albeit simply and small. The shop is located on Broadway Market and is well suited amongst all the other specialty shops on the strip. Even if you are just going to browse, you will have a nice time just being around all the lovely items in the shop. Stella herself is always around to give advice and point you in the right direction. It is nice to talk to her as she is obviously passionate about what she does. Opening hours are few and far between. Maybe if you head down for the Saturday market you can take the time to pop in to Stella Blunt.

It has become so popular with its cafes , boutiques and amazing selection of foods available on Saturdays. This shop of vintage objects and furniture has a cute handpicked selection of different pieces from lots of eras from art deco mirrors to 50's tables -but at a price. It amazes me that just down the road close to the tube and with easy public transport service available in Bethnal Green a 50s coffee table can barely demand £30.00 yet this area now has such a"cool" factor that the same table could show up in a place like Stella Blunts and command £200.00 !! There were alot of special pieces which granted have value - but a 50s wood irregular wood table for £280.00 is high - but incredible too if it is selling - it just shows how much this area has changed and is now perceived .
