Good News looks like every other newsagent from the outside but step inside this tiny little shop…read moreand you'll see that the choice of magazines is what keeps this little store a step ahead of the rest. Because Good News is situated in the heart of Soho, where all of London's hippest fashion houses, production companies and media firms are generally based, it needs to offer it's clients something different. Sure, you can get the usual paper, a juice and a bag of crisps but I've never seen so many magazines. If your looking for fashion, music, business or art, they have every single commercial, weird and underground paper and magazine you can imagine and even stock some industry mags as well like Music Week for example. Although I don't work in Soho anymore, if I pass this shop, I always stop by and pick up a magazine I know I can't get anywhere else...

There's countless newsagents in Soho, but I love Good News. The fact that they always stock and…read moresell my favourite magazine Monocle almost a week before it's supposed to hit newsstands makes all the difference to me. No to mention they stock a fantastic selection of international magazines and newspapers that one would often have trouble finding (especially American publications)! Definitely warrants a 5 star rating.

The shop is essentially just a large newsagents, but they do sell a lot of hard-to-find magazines, including some US beauty mags and obscure science-fiction ones. They also have a huge chocolate and sweet section, but what kept me going back there is the fact that they sell scampi fries crisps, which seem to be impossible to find anywhere. Apart from this, they also sell postcards and small gifts. The staff in there are very lovely and helpful, too.

I popped in this Saturday because I heard a rumor that Candy & Cards sold pipe tobacco 'ye olde…read moresweet shop' style (as in loose, from tubs) and I was not disappointed! Visible from the main thoroughfare of the store, there is a clear tobacco section in the left-hand corner behind the counter in which they sell not only loose American Blend pipe tobacco but also to my surprise loose aromatic Auld Kendal hand rolling tobacco. I believe that this is the only store in the area that still sells tobacco in this way. Of course they also sell OTC tobacco as well, but it was the specialist loose stuff that I came for. I've reviewed the tobaccos here: Auld Kendal Strawberry Hand Rolling Tobacco (http://rlstevenson.co.uk/auld-kendal-strawberry-hand-rolling-tobacco-review/) American Blend Peach Pipe Tobacco (http://rlstevenson.co.uk/american-blend-peach-tobacco/) The store owners, presumably husband and wife, are very friendly & welcoming and when questioned knew a great deal about tobacco and provided excellent advice. They even let me smell a few tubs of aromatic! My only qualms are that the store closes quite early (on a Saturday they close at 15:30) which makes it quite difficult for me to get there during opening times. The store also has quite a few empty shelves. Please don't let this store fall victim to the harsh economic times! Tell your friends about its wide selection of aromatics. I highly recommend it.

This is a compact but well stocked shop with just about everything a villager needs for survival…read more They sell meats, vegetables, dried produce, general groceries, newspapers, magazines, sweets and most importantly fresh bread baked on-site. They also sell fuel wood but they don't sell alcohol. They are friendly and helpful people, and the prices are fair for a small operation.

You can order a newspaper or magazine to be delivered if you live locally, or order a magazine they dont normally stock to collect from the shop. The staff are nice, really friendly.

It doesn't quite have the range of smokers heaven (which stocks electric grinders) but it sure beats it on its range of magazines. There's about a third of the entire store dedicated to them here!
