I actually associate this place more with kitchenware than furniture, but I agree that it's a very…read morehandy place. When I moved to London several years back, I think it took me about a year to figure out one could buy household goods someplace other than argos. Of course, I lived in halls near covent garden, so I give myself a small excuse for that idiocy. Now that I'm in Camden, I generally head to A&K for all the little bits and peices of kitchen and other assorted household stuff I may need (for those who have done time in the states, I often go here for the random sorts of things that used to have me Target-bound). They are not infallible, nor would I go there for sparkling service (not bad mind, they just basically leave you alone), but I find that if I can't find something random in A&K, there's a decent chance I won't find it anywhere else nearby either.

The A & K Warehouse is an excellent outlet for your furniture needs - especially in the wooden…read moremodels - alot of beds and chairs on offer in the basic pine style. The shop is pretty god damn big as well, reaching very far back from the entrance.. in a true warehouse fashion. The staff responded well to my approaches (not in that way) - 'Yes I would like to buy a bed' 'Right this way sir!' Good lads. And a good shop, with competitive prices and a distinct lack of competition in the area, I imagine they are making a pretty penny for themselves - and with friendly staff like Mike available, they probably deserve it!

Planet Bazaar has a crazy mix of of vintage Art, Furniture, Lighting and lifestyle Accessories…read moreincluding a wide range of Twentieth Century Design Classics. The lady who runs it is as eclectic and eccentric as the things she sells. She informed me that they hold exhibitions here every so often. I wonder where they find the space to show the art work, as every corner is crammed with stuff. Downstairs you will find an interesting mix of furniture and lighting. The funniest thing she showed me was a wind up robot from the 60's.

The woman who owns this shop, Maureen Silverman, is one of the rudest people I have ever met! I…read morehave been in the shop several times and she follows me round like a hawk! I went in last week and was browsing on the lower level, she was standing watching from the mezzanine floor. As I went to climb the few stairs I realised that she had them roped off. I said that I wanted to go in to which she responded was I looking for anything in particular. I said no just looking for something that may take my fancy. She surprised me by saying well no and that she was closing soon!!!! It was 3:30pm! So I just said your loss and I won't be back. HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED!

I love this boutique! Eclectic, warm, vibrant and inviting - G&G offers a really well-thought-out…read moreselection of everything from home furnishings to silky knickers. Their jewelry, especially, tends to catch my eye - they have just the sort of stunning, but unusual pieces that make you look twice. This tends to be one of my go-to places when I need a gift, but am not exactly sure what I'm looking for - I'm bound to find something here that is both unique and remarkably suitable. It's a veritable goldmine in terms of the distinctiveness and variety of the items they carry; from dazzling lamps, to fragrant soaps, to curious and intelligent trinkets - there's really something superbly aesthetic to be found here for just about anyone. And happily, especially if you're on the hunt for a gift, even though some things may give you sticker shock - the prices do run the gamut... so you're also likely to come away with *something* that doesn't devastate your budget.

The younger owner wasn't in (he's friendly) so I asked Eddy, an older man who works there and does collections. I've never seen him smile or talk very much. He told me it was £25. I inspected it further, then asked if he knew the make. During this time he was walking about and not really looking at me. He didn't even turn to me, but just said "How do I f**ing know. I don't have time to deal with f***ing idiots like you" I wasn't being irritating and I didn't haggle - so I'm shocked he would behave like this, especially in front of a young child. I left immediately and I will not be coming back again. If you agree that this was unacceptable then I urge you to boycott this shop.

Every time I visit I want to buy almost everything in the shop. Lots of stylish, well-made wardrobes, cabinets, dressing tables, bookshelves, archairs. I bought a wooden rocking chair and an art-deco tallboy, a 30s filing cabinet, a small 50s cupboard the people are friendlier than they look and often let me barter a little, or lower the delivery price. Nothing here looks like junk - lots of solid wooden furntiure obviously made lovingly to last.

Now I'm moving back into the area, once again it's a haven of everything old, cheap and totally not antique. I while ago I bought a really old heavy oak table here. It was covered in graffiti but with a little bit of sanding and a lick of paint, it's now a piece in my room that people comment on. It makes me even happier that you can haggle for prices, if you can understand the very strong Irish accents going on that is. I did struggle but eventually, we cut a deal and for £35 I could have the table delivered. They have books, vinyl, vhs, laps, wardrobes, chairs, dining sets. Every weekend it's something different so get there early if you want to have the best pick of stuff. Bring cash, no your spending limit and don't pay more than a tenner for delivery.

No one can deny that Habitat is a place of good taste. You might deny it if you were a sultan or…read moresomething or one of those weird shirking consumer good types, but most people would agree Habitat rocks. I like this store because it has beautiful bedding and faux fur throws. I like this store because it doesn't abuse colour and has nice terra cotta robes. I like this store because it has two floors and sells a multicoloured owl (for 35.00?!). I like this store for the glasses, for the laid out rooms with lime paint ( and I hate Lime but it works here). I like Habitat for it's naff prints for your wall. I like it for rugs and bumpy sofas that are comfortable yet slightly ill fitting. Yes, I'll be richer one day and shop at Habitat. I'll live in West Hempstead and be raw and bleached regularly. Hope is alive.

Unfortunately we can't bring funishings back with us, but we did however find great articles for around the house. Why would we travel with these items from the UK to the USA? Well, they were beautiful and get this, even with the dollar to pound conversion ... cheaper than we can get here. It is true! Pretty and not pricey. I love it!

Forget that cheap crap that they offer at Sainsbury's; this is where you get the right stuff and the excellent advise at the same time.
