I sometimes buy my babies clothes from this shop. The clothes are quite dressy so are great for a…read moreparty or special occasion. The summer range are always particularly lovely. They are expensive as an outfit would cost about £30 to £40 pounds. The staff are helpful and friendly.

Nice little charity shop on St. John's Rd. I like to pop in to check for quirky homegoods and such…read more Rather crowded into its space, but staff are kind and polite so that helps to counter the squeeze.

This is the Clapham branch of the bourgeois gift chain Oliver Bonus, located on the cute and…read moreachingly middle class Pavement, near Clapham Old Town. Oliver Bonus is one of those shops that sells a bit of everything, Clothes, stationary, jewellery, cosmetics and items for the home to name but a few. This branch is large, and very interior design orientated, filled with sofas, chandeliers and nic naks for your posh home. And you'll pay a large price too. Although the content of the shop is very nice, i find it a little smug. But that's just my opinion, and with 24 stores around London they're obviously doing something right!

Just got my order and everything fits perfectly. The denim skirt is amazing and I can't wait to go…read moreout with it this weekend!

I really like this shop, it is crammed full of all sorts of things you never knew you needed. Its…read morelike one of the poundshops only has a nicer layout. I usually go in there for party bits, plastic tubs silver platters etc. You can get the same stuff in poundstretcher and for the same cost but it is soo much nicer to walk around here, and the staff are always helpful and friendly unlike many of the other cheaper shops!! You seem to be able to get diaries in there all year, rather than most places whichg are impossible after about february!!

I rather like this British Heart Foundation in Beckenham! I have found many hidden gems in here and…read morethe staff are just lovely! It's not too big so if it's busy it's busy! I like this British Heart Foundation, although similar to many others in the UK, it just seems to have some great finds.

The staff at this shop are lovely: I took a CD to the desk once, and it was rather scratched, so…read morethe guy behind the counter told me to take it away for free, and come back and pay if it worked properly. (I did, because it did.) The clothing range is small, but occasionally you can grab a real gem: I once picked up a brand new Oasis suit in there for a mere £10. They also occasionally run a multibuy offer on the books.

This Primark store was formerly a branch of Allders. It covers three floors and it very spacious…read more The ground floor has womens clothing and accessories, the first floor has childrens wear and womens lingerie and the second floor has menswear, homewares and womens shoes. There is also a customer services department for refunds and queries. It is an extremely busy store but nevertheless there are ample checkouts and the staff deal very efficiently with the queues so the wait is never too long. There is an excellent range of products and the store seems to be kept reasonably tidy compared to the smaller branches.

As Primark's go this is one of the better ones, but it's still like a glorified jumble sale most of…read morethe time. I can't understand why Primark seems to attract the kind of customers (not all of them of course) that will just drop stuff on the floor and not pick it up leaving clothes everywhere for the poor staff to run around after. Good disabled access with disabled changing rooms and specialist low pay point and lifts as well as escalators. Cheap and cheerful and just outside next door there is a plaque to commemorate the fact that it was the birth place of H G Wells.

This store is in the right place for the right reasons, yet there's not much to be noted about it…read more They have a good selection of cute, fluffy toys that a child you know may hug briefly before being tossed aside in favour of the almighty Xbox 360. Most of these items appeared to be brand new too, with the clothing section remaining within the operative word of the phrase 'second hand'. The reading habits of the donators in the Putney area has to be commended: I found some cool novels by Yann Martell and Bill Bryson, two of my favourites! As always, prices are super low and if you go it's always a good thing to support a good cause. There's a load of old trinkets and household goods too, and you always get the feeling you might just pick up something old, valuable and random. Like Hitler's dinner fork.
