I'm a sucker for a good kitchen supply store. This one is stuffed to the eyeballs with a plethora…read moreof gadgets. The real drawback is having to sift through containers of stuff to find exactly what you're looking for. Organized, it aint. That said, I enjoy their selection of serving ware from bowls and platters to demi spoons and cake plates. If you can't find the correct number of something, just ask. They seemingly have a lot of extra inventory in the back. It can seem like an odd collection; but if they have what I need, it makes me so very happy.

If you need a copper preserving pan, a bean slicer, a macaroon mat or a dried chilli grinder, this…read moreis the place for you. It is literally kitchen porn. It's not huge, but it is packed with everything you could ever want in a kitchen, and a few implements that even I was unsure of what to do with! The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and it's almost impossible to escape without having bought anything. I wandered in with a (guy) friend who pooh-poohed all kitchenware, and yet even he walked out with a Japanese carving knife at £60... They even get stock in for you if you ask them to. I feel a bit bad, as I asked them to get in a bean slicer, only to immediately find one elsewhere. The 10 bean slicers sitting forlornly on their hook stare at me every time I go in...I don't feel too bad though, I have since bought a jam funnel, some olive wood spoons and a special cleaning brush for sweetcorn.

Pros We recently did up our house and decided to get our bathroon supplies from Lovitts. Initially…read morewe were met by an unexperienced youth who was very limited in his knowledge of plumbing and also the materials we needed. We left and returned later to be met by the owner of the shop. There was a huge difference in him and the rest of staff as he knew and understood our needs and was also eagerly giving us suggestions and alternatives. His advise was sound and he did make a lot of sense. We really enjoyed purchasing our bathroom supplies from him and he also gave a good discount. I would definately buy from him again. Cons The only downside is parking - it is limited and you have to drive around looking for somewhere to park.

A really cute small upmarket housewares store. Though it is small in size, they have a really nice…read moreselection of things. Perhaps not the best place if you have a particular item in mind, but it is certainly good for browsing and kitchen-gadget gifts. A smal selection of items I saw today: -Silicon ice cube moulds in fun shapes -Pyrex and enameled baking dishes -Cookie cutters and stamps -Cute mugs -Mason jars -Garlic peeling gadgets -Small, stylish food storage containers -Silicon spatulas in fun colours -Shot glass and science-style measuring cups -Baking moulds in a variety of goofy shapes -Buddha butter dish This kind of thing. 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.

Anyhow, as I said, I guess this place is alright. My dad was pretty excited about the pizza pan he got there - said it's high class, the Mercedes of pizza pans. There's a lot of kitchenware stores like this in the city. Did you know we built this city on rock and roll? I'm not wholly convinced that there is much to distinguish this store from its kitchen and bath store counterparts. Maybe the fact that the stores wears a curly green wig, but there might be other stores like that so I can't say. This is a good place to pick up pots and pans and get tropic tans.

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!
