This shop has vintage cuteness in abundance. Their selection of clothes, shoes, jewelry and random…read moreother items is really elegant. The woman who runs the shop has good taste, but a terrible attitude. When I walk in I can feel her eyes pummeling through my shoulder blades. When I turn around her ferocious gaze locks into my eyes with unrelenting force and all of a sudden I feel besieged by uneasiness and I don't want to shop in the store anymore. I want to flee. If you're courageous enough to brave the ferocity of the hawk-eyed charity shop general woman then you're in for good vintage bargains. The clothes, especially the shoes, are worth the possible threat of attack. Unfortunately, the shoes are in vintage sizes, meaning that they generally run quite small. If you have monolith feet like me (size 10 or more) you may be out of luck. The hats are hot though, and unless you have a gigantic dinosaur head (which would definitely be sad to say the least) you may find a fedora cool enough to make the Rat Pack quiver in shameful defeat at their cool-factor downgrade.

OK, so it may not be fashionably acceptable to admit that I've furnished nearly my entire house…read morewith items from the 99 pence store, but hey, who cares? I'm coming clean. I love this place. Why spend £2 on a pack of sponges when you can spend 2p? And why spend a tenner on a dish strainer when you can get a perfectly decent one for £1 max? In these hard-up, borderline financial depression times it pays to be frugal. So I go here for nearly everything. It may be cheap, but it does the job and I'm not complaining; although my broom did break into three pieces after its third use, but hey, whatever, that kind of stuff is expected when you only paid 40p for it. I am, unabashedly, The Big Discount Store's number one fan.

Comprising books, music, books and clothes this charity store is one of the better ones in the…read moreTooting area. Their layout feels quite empty, with the odd clothing rack and stock shelf littered about the shop floor. Search around though and you're bound to find something good: I found several FCUK and Guess tops for a real steal. To be fair, you will never know if something dodgy happened to the people wearing those clothes, summated in the fact that their clothes now lie in a charity store somewhere. But even if you never wear them you can always take pleasure in the fact that you're helping someone who needs it way more than you need Guess clothing to begin with.

Seriously, you are going to charge me £10 for Lamb Lies Down On Broadway? Now I know this is an…read moreiconic double album but this is a charity shop... in Tooting! Maybe I'm spoilt by the Dalston Oxfam, 99p per record and an abundance of Country gems. It's not bad, it's just not a bargain. The selection is better than average but it's not worth a trip out here. I love chazzers I really do, they're all about reusing and recycling, both things I love. If you are looking for 80's and 90's pop vinyl, you'll find it at cheaper than music shop prices here.

If there only had to be one great thing about the British pound it's that even in times like the…read morefinancial crisis the world is currently experiencing you can still buy toilet paper or deodorant for a Pound. They aren't going to be the best ever products, but with all the other household goods you can get for a Pound your savings will definitely show. You'll also find kids toys, foods, kitchen ware, electronics stuff and more. I suggest you just come in and have a browse around, because I promise you'll find something you never knew you needed. Perhaps the most pertinent purchase lining their shelves is their bicycle repair kit: small enough to fit into any London cyclists' pouch, and the price? £1.
