There has been a undertone of unfriendliness on the majority of my visits, but today was awful - within 30 seconds, I was told to make sure my five year old didn't touch anything, which a) I've addressed as a parent oh, for like as long as he could walk b) is obnoxious given IT'S A TOY STORE and c) was mentioned the moment we walked in the door. Without this incident, I have reasons to not love this shop - it tends to carry large ranges of the same thing (I.e. Lego, wooden trains) and I found there were gaps in the selection, particularly for toddlers. It also charges fairly premium prices - I once got a simple origami set and a card for a 4 year old girl and it was close to £20. So, it costs the earth and doesn't appear to welcome kids - hardly a winning option.

There are various items for the home such as candles, sprays, linen and pillows. There is a small selection of clothes and night wear including dressing gowns.

I'd definitely recommend going in the sales!

Hooray! I love this shop right now. I was shopping in Greenwich for silly things and found a dress…read morein that branch of Joy that was too big. Luckily for me I ended up in Clapham that weekend and popped into this branch! They had the perfect size and I now have a brilliant sexy blue dress with a pretty blue bow at the back. Only £45 quid too. All of the clothes are lovely here. Especially the dresses. Some of them are very expensive, but that just gives you a nice surprise when you find a bargain. The lady who served me was lovely. This branch isn't nearly as pretty as the Greenwich branch, but the clothes are still great. It's more relaxed. The staff in the Greenwich branch never talk to me but I had a nice chat with the lady serving me. Unfortunately, I was having such a nice chat with the lady serving me, that she didn't take the tag off the dress. So I've paid for it, and I somehow left the shop, but now I have to call them and explain why I have a dress with a tag and proof of purchase. I'm a bit confused about how I didn't get arrested Still, I could do with a new coat so I'll have a bit of a look around while I'm back there. Hopefully they'll take the tag off that. Maybe it's a sneaky way of getting people to go back to the shop

A solid gift shop with an impressive selection of high end clothing (basement) that served as quite a pleasant surprise. I didn't pick anything up this trip but I'll be checking back often as I like the style and selection, particularly the shirts and shoes. Where they seem to focus and excel is gifting. They have a lovely selection of cards, bits and bobs, mugs, jewelry, frames, etc. I gifted some wonderful things to myself actually! Some gorgeous coffee/tea mugs from Portugal that I adore an dan Umbra copper geometric frame that I fancied quite a bit. Mugs: £8/each - I've already drunk tea and coffee from them and I love them Frame: £17 They have some great Matt & Nat leather goods, scarves, brollies, etc. It's a nice little assortment of goodies that makes for a fun poke around. They had a few sale racks of clothes that were worth checking into as well.

Despite the fact that the place is only about 80 square feet, you could easy spend almost an hour upstairs alone. BUT don't forget about the cozy basement with all sorts of well-chosen clothes; mix of somewhat affordable though mostly just covetable stuff.

Once inside, it's easy to be tempted by the wide array of accessories and household treats on offer. Prettily-packaged, scented, glass-filled candles start at £3.75 and come in a delicious and unusual range of fragrances (including spiced pear). In November, much of the focus is on seasonal decorations with many 'twinkling' items ('gold' and 'silver'-hued angels, cherubs, hearts and stars) from just 75p. If you're looking for a gift, at any time of year, you'll be spoilt for options and budgets here. A plethora of photo frames, glassware and candle holders have a wide appeal. I was almost tempted to pick-up one of the vibrantly colourful door mats by Bombay Duck but thought them a little pricey (and potentially impractical) at £22.75. Staff are enthusiastic and helpful.
