Very bad shop in Wood Green, North London! The manager and staff are so rude! Do not waste your…read morehard earned money here! And they do not give you a refund as promised on the back of their receipts. When you demand for a refund they have the cheek to call security (bully boy tactics in my eyes). Be very careful buying something from Ann Summers as they have lots of hidden t&c's that do not reflect their returns policy. Members of staff think its a laugh and a joke and do not care about you as a customer at all. Avoid at all cost.!!!

Even though it was freezing cold outside, I was too excited about exploring what bizarre new treats…read morewere on offer at Sh this visit to accept the offer of a cup of tea or coffee from the sales assistant who lept up to greet me on arrival. Some people might need a warm beverage to relax them when confronted with the plethora of pleasure giving devices presented in this sexy grotto, I am not one of them, although I have to say, what a lovely touch. What I love about Sh is that they cater for girls and understand that most of us don't want to be confronted by a huge, black wobbly dildo when entering a store. Not to say that you cant buy one, or one covered in spikes or made out of glass or attached to a harness here (you get the picture) but they are tastefully presented and surrounded by feathers, bell adorned nipple tassles and rhinestone handcuffs amongst other wonderful inventions. The staff are pleasant, very knowledgeable and discreet, my first visit to the store was to buy a vibrator and the sales assistant recommended several, based on personal experience and sent me away very happy indeed with a waterproof 'Jessica' (£22). The variety of toys for men and women here rivals any similar store that I have visited and they also have a good selection of lubricants, literature and underwear.

It was the most comfortable experience coming into the store and purchasing my first toy! I felt I…read morespent a long time comparing the different items but I'm glad the ladies helped me out by answering the random questions I had, telling me their honest options about the models and giving me time to look without pressure. I truly appreciate their expertise and I highly recommend to come here if it's your first time or if your shopping in general! Also the cup of tea is quite generous! Thank you again ladies!

This is such an old-time glamorous place to shop for lingerie. There's real sense of nostalgia for…read morethe lost reverence women had when it came to shopping for their underthings. Everything here is such a fanatic combination of rich satins and delicate laces... styles that are both subtly alluring and fiercely sexy. The window displays are ever-changing and never fail to woo me inside... with very few exceptions (most waspies just aren't that flattering...) I could easily cart off all of the darling nighties and luxurious knickers they have hanging on their racks. They support and carry a lot of more boutiquey labels and independent designer brands - which means you'll find stuff here that you won't anywhere else. They even have a line for expectant mothers (literally, yummy mummies, oy). This is also your place if you happen to be in the market for a corset or any other burlesque type fashions - they can even hook you up with the same satiny corset designed for Ms. Dita Von Teese.

Blue Rose is not the place to buy one. Sure, they had a penis extension one which unrolls onto your member and vibrates but nothing for me looking for a simple vibrating egg. Nothing wireless or a rabbit head, I want a simple one. There is something wrong about sticking a bunny head there, in my opinion at any rate. The prices were okay. I mean, the penis extension one was only 6.99. Yet wireless egg was 25.00. This is man's shop! I think this store is not for women. If you are a guy looking for some porn, you can stop here but I didn't really see anything suitable for me. The man was helpful enough and not sleazy but nothing suitable.

How I've dreaded writing a review for this place but alas it keeps popping up on my 'place to…read morereview' list. So here goes. You know my secret. I love Coco de Mer. I find it nearly impossible not to have a quick browse when in the area as I never know what incredibly beautiful things will be on display here. Everything is phthalate free, staff are knowledgable and patient, full of genuine advice and completely understanding. Other reviewers have pointed out a price increase for brands like LELO and JimmyJane (both US brands) and this is less a reflection of CdM's pricing as it is one of imported and especially luxury goods as a whole. Unfortunately just one of the facts of living in the UK. A little known fact is that Coco de Mer, although originally independently owned, was actually bought by Lovehoney. As a result there are certain items sold here that are available for slightly less on Lovehoney's website. Unfortunately ordering these items online will rob you of the satisfaction (and fun) to be had browsing the items in store. I'm not saying take your husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend I'm just saying that a visit to CdM is basically a milestone every relationship should aspire to cross. CdM puts seedy places in Soho to shame. It's 2015 people, it's time we step up and recognise that adults will be adults. CdM is exactly the kind of shop many of us have searched for so put away your shame and have a peek!

Told me I could try to a corset dress or a mini skirt, told me that they would specially fit the latex to fit me. I tried fingerless gloves in Latex and a Latex choker. I looked at Latex Panties of all varieties, Latex hat, even Latex nipple covers. I needed to buy everything in this shop. All I want is a gift certificate to this shop for Christmas and some fingerless gloves as my dirty little secret that I can wear in public (the best kind). Come to Latex Showgirls..you will not be disappointed. The staff is all female and great! Next door they do porn and vibrators but this store is very hot and very select. Channel your inner burlesque queen here or be a Bizarre model for a day. Get gear for fetish parties. Do the whole designer S and M look. Cross dress. Do whatever. L-A-T-E-X H-O-T!

I am from the states…read more I was in London for holiday and while my parents insisted on doing tours (boring), i decided to wander about on my own. It is a bit of a walk from the underground btw. Not a hike or anything, but you have to keep your eyes open. I noticed the many adult shops and actually knew at this partucular time, Atsuko Kudo was selling certain items whose proceeds would go to Japan relief efforts (it was about the time of that crazy tsunami the year before). Atsuko Kudo is a well known name for latex wear: and not just sexy knickers. I've seen beautiful dresses, too! The building is a bit easy to miss. Then you get there and realize there is a buzzer. I was a bit worried, especially since it wasn't as busy a rue comepared to other parts of London. I felt it was borderline suburbia. The staffers were very nice and knew what I was talking about when I mentioned the Japan relief items. I had to describe it a few ways but we met on the same page. They also gave me a few tips as far as other adult stores I was searching for since I did a mix of yelping and london based search engines to compile my shoppe list. A lot of my shoppes were closed, which is why I had a mix of anxiety and dismay when I saw their building and buzzer: I still wasn't quite sure it was Atsuko Kudo vs being a random unmarked business.

Factory Outlet North Finchley is nothing like that. There are some good deals to be had, even a rack starting at just 5 pounds. I'll admit the clothes in this shop are taste-full and beautiful. There is a particularly nice brown ruffle dress in a silky material for 22 pounds and some lovely knits that wrap around your body. The staff here is friendly enough and not up your arse, in a way that is common in a small store. I like to come in here and have a poke around. I will note this store only sells clothing so no handbags or shoes on offer.
