I love a visit to Charlie's Rock shop. Unfortunately for Charlie and his crew I don't buy much and…read morewhen I do I don't spend much, but hopefully this honest assessment of why this is one of the best shops in the local area will go some way to redress the balance of the joy I receive from a visit and Charlie's profit line. This shop will show you some beautiful geology. They have items from £2 to £200 of sheer beauty. Gorgeous necklaces, rings and other jewellery is available. This is a great place to buy rocks to make jewellery with. I have taken a few friends here to Charlie's Rock shop. They have always bought something and loved the store. A fair few have returned without me. So I have done something good apart from this review Charlie!!!

Charlie's rock shop might rock your world (ehem...sorry.)…read more Charlie (at least I assume the bloke behind the till was *the* Charlie) was happy and friendly even though we wandered in on a horrible rainy day. My friend wanted to come here because she bought her favourite pair of earrings here yeears ago...so we came in for a bit of a mooch. This place is full of interesting jewellery- some of it was gorgeous/ some of it was not really to my taste. BUT Jewellery is always a very personal thing to choose - so maybe other yelpers'd like the things I cringed at. There was also a large selection of different minerals and gemstones for sale...so this place would make any collector of stones happy. I bought a couple of pairs of pearl earrings with Stirling silver backs (for £6 each!!) and left very happy.

I passed by Hampstead Antique Emporium when we were there for lunch at Villa Bianca (reviewed…read moreseparately). When I walked in I was stunned at the lovely things you can buy there and such reasonable prices! There are about 20 traders & stalls here offering antiques and crafts; textiles, art deco jewellery, glass, china, miniatures and so much more. I especially liked 3D greeting cards, depicting miniature worlds produced by Karrie Barron cards. At another stall, they sell some stunning miniature boxes. I especially loved the art deco and Victorian style jewellery - and will go back to buy!! There are some lovely porcelain pieces for avid collectors. It is such a hidden place that you can easily miss it. I was really happy I found this place - it's such a collector's heaven and the prices are so much better than what you would pay in Portobello market or elsewhere in London. Also all the stallholders are so friendly and helpful! This is one of those secret London attractions that you have to discover for yourself and I highly recommend you do! It's amazing!

I've never ventured this far in Camden and so I was quite surprised and how alladins cave like this section of Camden is compared to all the cut price London souvenirs and generic tshirt stores on the outside.

He stated: "We are in the business of selling things, not taking them back". Is that the kind of person you want to do business with?
