Just opposite The Black Cap on Camden High…read moreStreet, it is one of the few non-chain stores that actually sells something you want on this road. All your cookery, tupperware and plastic vegetable needs will be satisfied here. More than that, it has a terrific range of cheap household goods, kitchen gadgets that you didn't know you needed until you saw them, saucepans, knives and more. Family run and super friendly, we once had every single hoover bag out from behind the counter trying to find the one that looked like it had a picture of my ailing vacuum on it... Budding domestic God and Goddesses will have kitchenalia overload. This is a great place to visit if you are setting up home on a budget & perfect for students. Best range of cookie cutters in hood.

The only negative thing is that is a little bit overpriced now that she is getting more and more famous (but it is OK. A girl can never have enough bags!) I visit this shop frequently. It is quite small but it is really cosy and cute. They have a nice range of products (even though they miss some others, like fashion). The staff is friendly and really helpful every time I go there. My favourite CK shop for sure!

I got my spice rack at Amy's…read more We needed one and I'm not one to scout around for housewares. It was a bit expensive in here about the girlfriend wanted a spice rack so we paid out. In it's favour, Amy's is a nice sized store, well laid out. There is inexpensive glassware on offer and a selection of luggage and dog toys (not large). Basically Amy's has a fairly big selection of stuff for the home. You can occasionally spot a bargain like 1/2 price bedding or reduced Pyrex dishes. Not bad.

They had about 10+ options for french press' and a plethora of different useful household items-- They have a very friendly and helpful staff. I believe they carry some hardware things as well in the back. If you live in the area, this place is the best as far as the selection you will get. Everything is pretty standard as far as pricing goes as well!

I can pretty much guarantee that if there's a cooking implement you've ever coveted or lost or even just wished existed - from onion goggles that thwart tears to sandwich makers designed for use with a campfire - they have it here. All gimmickry aside, they've also got all the top-quality name brand skillets and pots and pans, plus beautiful tableware and some intriguing and very-French sounding bottles of sauces and soups. There's also an assortment of plain and seasonal cookie cutters - a true happy discovery for me since I've gone to other kitchenware stores in London for, say, a snowflake cookie cutter, and come away empty-handed. To cap it all off, if you're still not sold... the store is beautiful and the service courteous and helpful. If you're in any way an aficionado of epicure, this is definitely worth a pilgrimage.

Honestly the best culinary shop in London. If he doesn't have it, he'll order it in, but it's going…read moreto take a lot for him not to stock what you're looking for. This is a treasure trove of cooking equipment, and not the cheap tacky stuff. Pots, pans, baking trays, roasters, crepe pans, cast irons... They're all upstairs awaiting your selection. Beautiful displays of cutlery, kitchen towels and other equipment are available. Downstairs you'll find dishes and dining ware along with speciality items, Bannetons for bread, preserving jars, cheese boards. They're all down there somewhere. From the outside you wouldn't even guess that so much was stuffed in there. And yet it doesn't feel crowded. The proprietor is a charming French gentlemen, a true example of the way things were, attentive, knowledgable and always happy to see people. I've been coming here for years, and will continue to do so.

Perhaps not the best place if you have a particular item in mind, but it is certainly good for browsing and kitchen-gadget gifts.

Certainly not inexpensive, but about what you'd expect from a small, privately owned store on Columbia Road.

This is a great shop stocking mostly kitchenware but a few other home/garden things at the back…read more The prices are very reasonable, which is great considering that often shops in the area impose an East-End-Tax. It seems like anything you want for your kitchen, with the exception of white goods (!), you can get here and they stock a wide variety of brands from generic porcelain, modern Joseph Joseph to classic Tala. It is a bit cramped but that goes without saying on Columbia Road and they pack a lot in and always have a lot of people browsing. So go in here before you buy your bouquets and bay trees.
