Before the smoking ban they even were allowed to enter in with their light cigarettes - that is how easy going this place is. From the bottom to the top there are shelving with anything from nails, toolboxes, tubes, window handles etc. I once made my way there as my window screw broke. They had several versions of my broken example and I could close my window in a couple of hours again. That was a relieve. They also have more stock in the backrooms, therefore whatever you need, ask - they might have it. What I appreciate, even though there is a counter where you get served, you are allowed to have a look around. The service is very polite even when you only buy 4 screws.

I recently bought some screws from surly staff slouched over the counter looking visibly resentful of customers' presence, while others sidled in and out whispering conspiratorially. It felt like a comedy sketch. When I challenged the sweeping declaration made by the assistant about a particular product ('they're all like this' he said), he began interrogating me about how long I had lived in the Barbican, before seriously claiming he knew he was right because he had worked at the shop 'since before the Barbican was built' which was clearly impossible. The guy also failed to provide a receipt (ok, my fault for not asking)! If you want to hear unreformed macho bluff and bluster by knowall white vanmen who assume you're an idiot - the kind of encounter sent up so successfully by comedians Harry and Paul in the hifi shop and perhaps inspired by City Hardware - this is your kind of place. On the other hand, if you're polite, or female (or both), and just want friendly intelligent service, then beware. A bit of banter is fine, Paul, but the days of service like this are surely numbered.

For those of you who don't know this is a company that makes adorable tat that appeals to teenage girls and ridiculous women like me who insist of super cute nonsense in their homes. These guys only sell wholesale and I have never seen a collection like this in a shop. We are talking appliqued pirate bunting and hand painted Russian Doll photo pegs, white bird cages with stuck on flowers and butterflies. If you are looking for a new baby gift they have brilliant kiddies room decoration stuff, and as for stocking fillers, well this place is ideal. Nothing is more than £20 and some start from as little as £2.95 so you can really go nuts if you wanted to. As I have mentioned before I have happy places in London, this is one of them. I hate to Yelp this but I will and I am sharing this happiness with you.
