Coming from Africa, I can't help but allow the rich scent of cured wood to tickle the very back of…read moremy olfactory sense. Natural Style is such a shop where the rich scents of oak, maple and other hardwoods waft off of elegantly designed furniture pieces for home and bedroom. All kinds of trinkets, mirrors and Christmas stocking fillers are to be found in abundance and the first rate service, whether looking or buying, should be commended. Finding Natural Style is like looking in all your pockets trying to find your lighter. You always find it in the last pocket you look in, and during winter in England that could literally be ten pockets later. The same for Natural Style: it's full of one-off pieces that wouldn't quite make a set, but might be just what you're looking for if you've exhausted all of your other furniture options.

I came upon this shop accidentally, but am certain I'll be going back again and again. Ended up…read morebuying a fantastic large mirror and beautiful solid wood wine rack. I'm so happy with both purchases. The owner also offered to give me a lift back home to drop of both pieces. Great value and a really nice local business. Ben

I love Northcote Road Market for it's diversity, it's food and it's casual atmosphere. I was a…read morelocal to SW11 a few years back and my boyfriend and I used to visit the market for fresh bread or homemade taramasalata, whatever was on offer on any given weekend. There are a number of different stalls from antiques and and odds n ends to all sorts freshly baked and prepared food. There is a huge selection of Italian bread, dips, cakes and biscuits. The market is not that big but it's the perfect size in my opinion. I hate markets that are too huge, you can never decide what to buy but Northcote Road Market is small but perfectly formed offering you everything you need for your Sunday lunch to something nice to put on the mantelpiece at home.

I think there is a real diversity to Northcote Road! Some cute novelty shops, and high street…read morenames, mixed with the weekend Market Traders that offer special baked goods, clothing products, handmade goods, household antiques and even a vintage bicycle stall that fixes your bike if you roll up! It is neatly laid out, and a good people watching area while you sip a cuppa' or if you venture back to the common to walk your dog, or catch some sun. Situated 'between the commons' so you get the best of both worlds with Clapham and Wandsworth Common lifestyle(s) and the closest station is Clapham Junction. The only down side is not all the traders are there from week to week so best to check out this market on a sunny day, or Saturdays when its more active. I did stumble across a Facebook page recently, which showcased the market traders and their current products/services. This should help those who are thinking about visiting. http://www.facebook.com/NorthcoteRoadMarket

It's a shop that can help you add character to your home. Every wall is covered; every piece of floor is covered... so regardless of your taste, you'll be sure to find something that works for you. The owner is an interesting man who chooses items because he likes them, not because they are trendy or popular. The prices are also quite reasonable so it's great for gifts too.

They have a fine selection of the best quality oil, acrylic and watercolour paint. They also sell paper, canvas, brushes and easels. They also have a great range of gifts such as globes, pencils, photo frames, perfect for the artist or writer in your family. The only downside is it is a bit pricey.

A real blast from the past this one, Located on Chiswick High Road near the High Road Brasserie,…read moreyou will find a small and unimpressive entrance to this weird and wonderful collection on nostalgia, antiques, American, art deco and retro furniture and other household items. It is a labyrinth of corridors, stairways, rooms and mini shops offering an amazing collection of everything old and antique that you may want to buy for your castle. Go there just for the spectacle, it is a truly amazing experience to walk among all of this clutter and stuff (I wanted to say junk) but I am sure they have some really expensive pieces. 1950's and 60's table lamps, fashion, table, chairs and chest of drawers are everywhere, as are the chandeliers - you don't go here to buy something, you go here to find something.

This has got to be one of the more interesting shops on Chiswick High Street. The Old Cinema is…read moreLondon's only department store selling antiques, vintage and retro furniture, décor, lights and gifts. It's a great place to come if you're looking for something to complement the IKEA or whatever brand forms the majority of your household furnishings. I didn't go with anything particular in mind but then I think that's probably the best frame of mind to be in when it comes to this sort of shopping. This way you allow yourself the true novelty of emotion when you realize you've found the stuffed owl you never knew you wanted. I quite liked the look of a few of 1950's American diner style kitchen stuff, cocktail shakers and drinks trolleys, that sort of thing but on this occasion I left as I came in. It's all about taste somewhere like this, it's eclectic and nothing will appeal to everyone but pop in, have a look around, something probably will.

He also stated that he normally has to cut and paste most firms probate reports, but in this case was able to just submit the whole report without any alteration, there by saving me extra solicitors charges. I am very happy with the work undertaken and would highly recommend Antiques of Wimbledon to undertake a probate valuation to anyone.

Really lovely antique shop that specializes in mirrors, too bad for the service. When I first saw…read morethis shop I fell in love with it, it has a small selection of antique furniture pieces and many mirrors. It was £95 for an oval shaped body length 1960's mirror. I had already pictured it in my room, when I had finally saved enough to get it I came to the shop, excited and armed with £100. To my surprise it was gone, I was disappointed and begun asking questions. When will you get more? Will you be getting anymore from that era? Do you have anything similar? The lady was more concerned in attending to her T.V set so she could watch countdown, fiddling with the antennae and basically ignoring my questions. She said she did not now, repeated answer to all my queries. The lady is of age so I can't blame her for just wanting to enjoy her show, in a weird way I guess she forms part of the charm of the store. I would go back, in fact I will come back, I am hoping an even better mirror will come along.
