There is something ever so grand about shopping in a Marks & Sparks. Maybe it is the reassuring…read moreexpense, or the multitude of middle-class mummy's that shop here. Either way, I always feel I will get quality. With bus stops right outside, this is an easy store to reach. The 'Simply Food' brand is meant to be a convenience store. Well, wow, this is some convenience store. This M&S is a sure fire hit for conjuring an exemplary evening meal that will surely impress anyone you choose to invite for dinner. I am not comfortable enough in my educated, middle-class skin to exclusively shop here. I still love bargains a little too much, but if I ever fancy a naughty treat and feel somewhat flush, M&S is my go to destination.

Now this gets a 5 cos of the way it has never failed to surprise me…read more It's February 2014 and in the time I first visited this store there have 3 chains opening up across the road as well one that is open 24hrs, like this place. It still does very good business at least from where I stand. I suppose its because it's customer base tends to be the more ethnic side of things eg. It has 5 different kinds of Mayonnaise from different countries. The best thing about Way2Save, or however its worded, is the great value for money many things are. A bag of vegetables that costs you a £5 and last you the week or more.... And they look fresh and in abundance. Of course there are things that One would place in the "dubious" category, for example... They have a butchers in there... The chicken looks mostly not like chicken... SO many varieties of pickle, too many olives and never have the best stuff, like Polish sausage, Dutch sausage, Irish sausage, but not the one you want. a few too many off brand goods. Those things I care not about. and thus do not affect my perusal of items I wish to buy at great value. The staff are great chaps, always stacking... it never seems to end. They are always helpful and if they don't have what you ask for, they'll get it for you on the next run. Most of the local restaurants use them for a the great variety the place has, the service is good so I'm convinced. Open 24hrs even of the holidays, this place, in my opinion deserves 5 stars.

This Starbucks is nice and there are rarely any children in it which is even more nice. Sometimes I…read moremust escape the pram parade of every Chiswick coffee shop and when I do, I occasionally spend a few hours at this Starbucks. It's a nice open space with high ceilings and plenty of seating and I've never had an issue with the wifi. In fact, the wifi at this Starbucks is likely the best I've ever experienced at a Starbucks. The staff are friendly and they regularly clean the "condiment" station and clear the tables keeping the place nice and tidy. Overall, a great place to work and super easy to get to from the Richmond train station. Now, if they put a children's play area in like they did in the big Starbucks on Chiswick High Road, then I'm no longer coming here. Take that as a warning, Starbucks!

I have been few times to the Piccalilli Caff for breakfast and have to say that I always been quite…read morehappy and satisfied about it as the portion is generous and tasty. One of my favorite is the classic English breakfast that you can build on the basis of your preferences, choosing what you would like to have, which eggs do you prefer etc...the price is fair too, so I would definitely suggest it to my friends!

This place has quickly become my favorite brunch place in London (and not just because I live…read morealmost next door and adopted the pony). Always need to share dishes when there, because I can't decide on my favorite. Chorizo Morning, Avocado Breakfast and French Toast are usually the ones I have to decide between. I especially love the French Toast when it comes with poached peaches halves and almond splinters. Also, not to forget the delicious mix of ice cream and cakes!

I have moved to Deptford. I am officially a Southerner but I am so happy! One of the reasons why is…read morebecause I have this fantastic market right on my door step! Sure it's filled with bits and bobs of tat but there's also flower, fish, meat, clothing, street food and oh so many wonderful stalls to explore. We wondered round for about half an hour just to suss out the situation but I loved every minute. Filled with bright colours, wonderful smells and smiley, happy people. I even stopped to try some authentic Italian cuisine at a little stall called LovingEAT - Andrea was ridiculously friendly and talked us through his menu. The Arancino was delicious and very authentic - I'll be back! We also bought a beautiful orchid from a flower stall for just £3.50! I will be back next weekend to explore again and I have a feeling this will become a regular Saturday adventure! Definitely recommend for truly authentic London market experience.

I love this flea market! Its full of oddities and curios... If you love to rummage around and find…read morethat gem amongst the rubbish. Then you will love this place. You can find clothes, shoes, books, Cd's and bric n brac at bargain prices. Today, I found a lovely clock. Cheap as chips as David Dickinson would say. But they also had Hornsea china which sells for a lot of money on eBay. There are oddities like half drunk bottles of spirits and ancient jars filled with faded spices. Yuk! But don't ask for a discount as they don't haggle.

No partridge. No pear tree. I'm a cheap yellow bastard that likes quality products, so it's no wonder I'm a regular here even though it's a 20+ minute trip on the 341 for me.

"I've got a lovely pair of coconuts..." "Come Mister Tally…read moreMan, tally me banana..." "Strawberry fields forever..." It once was one shop, it's now two. One is just storage and the other is a beautiful array of fruit, herbs, spices and veg for locals to come down to browse and buy. For a few quid you can walk out with a bag of produce bigger than my leg. It's fantastic quality and loads of it is British grown. I don't bother going anywhere else now, it's my one stop fresh fruit stop!

Excellent produce with very friendly and helpful shopkeepers. When I picked up a head of lettuce,…read morethey asked me to wait while they went into their garden and picked a fresh head. Try that at your grocery store!

The Creaky Shed is the perfect fruit and vegetable shop. Why aren't there more places like this in…read moreLondon? Owned by two of the most helpful and friendly grocers in London- Adrian and Jason- the shop sells high quality fresh fruit and vegetables on a seasonal basis. Everything is beautifully arranged- the presentation is immaculate, especially at Halloween and Christmas. My friends who live locally, will now not shop anywhere else. They even arrange weekly vegetable and fruit boxes through them. Last Summer I asked them to put together a small fruit platter for me- I only had 20 pounds- and they delivered the most enourmous, extravagant platter that few 20 people. I was so impressed- they put in beautiful apples, strawberries, pears, mango and melon- a lot of the money. They also stock an amazing selection of pickles, preserves and Chegworth Valley apple juices.

This one's nice…read more Hello. I am a foodie. And pretty critical foodie at that. So, I walk in sceptical. But leave pleasantly suprised. For me, Broadway Market is ridiculously OTT and too trendy for it's own good. It'd be so easy to go minimalist. Bags of organic oats at £8 a pop, Aduki beans for little Casper or Konrad. HHmm, you get my thinking? But instead, it's a straight up and honest venture. Quite a small premises so their shelves are absolutely stacked. Good range of fruit, nice veg in and all the other trimmings. Pastes, spread, conserves. And little touches, which make you want to come back. They do refils of cleaning product to help everyone stay eco. Things like that. And the guys hanging out were really nice, so yeah, all in all, I really liked what they'd done here. Thanks!

The owner is super friendly, the lemons, the avocados, the plums, everything is such high quality (and inexpensive) that it's gonna be hard for me to shop anywhere else from now on (especially 'cause it's just by my house). I loved the banana soy yogurt by Sojade (a french brand I didn't know 'till then) and I can assure that, despite of the size of the store (it's a small shop though the owner is planning to move to a bigger place, he said), they have pretty much everything, well organized and even if it weren't, the owner will do everything to help you. Recommend. :)
