For an area to know that it has officially made middle class respectability, many tests can be…read moreperformed. It is therefore with a sigh that Wimbledon residents can breathe a sigh of relief that Lakeland has decided to grace the Centre Court Shopping Centre with one of their latest store openings Being a keen cook, it is nice to have access to Lakeland's specialist kitchenware locally. They do cater to the masses with popular lines like tapping into the cupcake craze but they do also sell stuff like silicone baking sheets, which would interest more adventurous cooks Everything is laid out in a dangerously appealing and inviting manner, meaning that in a moment of weakness, you may find yourself walking out with an ice cream cone maker - incidentally £29.99 for the waffle iron and £3.95 for the cone mould around which you shape your hot waffle. And no, I didn't walk out with one though I was interested to see it They are a little pricey compared to professional kitchenware companies but I applaud them for making an extra level of cooking accessible to the general public. The staff are keen to help, so do pick their brains if you need any help or advice Incidentally, it's nice to see a new store opening in Wmbledon after a spate of recent retail shop closures. Long live the high street!

Seeing that Lakeland had opened a location in Wimbledon made me incredibly happy. For a gal who has…read morea penchant for homemaking-type-adventures, this place is like Mecca. Bakeware, cookware, canning supplies, household cleaning & gadgets, and all the little things for your kitchen in particular that you never knew you needed. Lakeland is like magic. I particularly like that they carry cake decorating tools, dyes, flavors, etc. for far less cost than other London outlets (such as Jane Asher). They offer the Star Kay White line of oils & flavors to the UK (which I believe is exclusive due to the dual-branded labeling). Very friendly staff members here as well. So glad to know this location is nearish to me! I will most definitely be back whenever I'm in need of kitchen goodies!

We recently bought a home in Balham and I have been coming to this shop quite a bit for various DIY…read moreneeds and products. It is not big by any means but they have had the products needed on site for everything we've needed done, apart from one large toolbox, which I ordered for pick-up the next day. You can order you anything you need from an endless stack of DIY catalogs for pick up at their shop next day. I am new to DIY and the best part of going to Force is the professional advice the owner is happy to provide. He is very honest (even if it means selling you a cheaper, more appropriate product than an expensive one you may have been planning to buy from him). His advice is also clear, simple, and optimistic that you can easily achieve your DIY goals. So far he has never said he couldn't help us or something couldn't be done. He has always had a simple easy solution and the products to support it. In case you have a specific DIY need, some of the items he has helped with and provided the perfect products for include: 1) a new rubber liner for our shower splash guard (by the way, Home Base told us we had to contact the splash guard's maker, but Force had the perfect universal liner for all splash guards in stock) 2) fixing a shower head issue 3) replacing the Swiss plugs of our appliances with British plugs (we just came from Switzerland and have about 10 appliances that needed it) 4) relocating a light switch 5) Painting a built in shelf 6) Filling some wall damage in with the right filler 7) Finding the right drill and drilling to fix some items to the wall 8) Fighting a slug infestation 9) Reconstructing the inside of a fixed wardrobe with new clothes hanging poles Also, the shop seems to be well stocked with paints, bathroom equipment, yard tools, and, of course, your various DIY odds and ends. I have also been amazed at how cheap many of his products are. Additionally, he has often given me free small items to accompany my jobs when I make a purchase or he has offered to exchange a few of my smaller purchases for the better, more expensive version free of change when I am checking out. The owner of Force is simply a nice guy who's standing by to help you with anything you need. It's so nice, having just bought a house to have such a great shop around the corner to encourage and help with our DIY endeavors and I hope to use his shop alot as we make changes to our home. P.S. If you're concerned about parking, Force is right next to a massive Sainsbury's parking lot.

I couldn't have been more grateful or pleased with the kind help of the owner. He was very generous with his time and advice on each occasion and even though I didn't need any big ticket items, he worked with me until my needs were sorted. If there is something that you need that is not available in store, it can be ordered right away. I would highly recommend this homecare store.

It seems that if you have, Chelsea Clearance is the place to be. It brims like a broth spoiled by too many cooks, but don't get me wrong: that's a good thing. It's probably Earlsfield's busiest clearance store and it's always fun to come here on two counts: rummaging through piles of old amplifiers, dodgy furniture and random garage contents, and seeing how far down I can haggle the owner for prices. He gets angry sometimes. Oh, and the owner might just be a Chelsea supporter, because the shop is situated several miles from anywhere remotely close to Chelsea.
