I love browsing old antique shops. I rarely buy anything, but I love the feeling that hundreds of…read moreyears of history are in one room. Antiques on High has the proper smell of old things and has an interesting range of antiques. Rather than focusing on big pieces of furniture, which so many antique shops do, it uses its space wisely to host: Jewellery, books, records, clothes, ornaments, pictures, maps and various collectables. The condition of the goods varies, but they're priced fairly reasonably. I find it's best to go in without the aim of buying something in particular, but just to browse. I can't say anything has ever caught my eye enough to want to buy it, but I've seen plenty of other people who have found the perfect addition to their home or the ideal gift. The best bit is the craft section, where there's a gallery of jewellery, leather, pottery, glass and art in general, all produced locally and all promising to be valuable antiques in the future. There's a great range in here and you can get something for less than a pound or spend hundreds of pounds. Equally, you can pop in for a few minutes or spend hours browsing - it's almost like a mini museum. If you like antique shops, this won't disappoint; if you've never been in one, try approaching it. Don't be put off by the prison-like bars in the windows; the staff are friendly and it's a different world inside.

I enjoyed a quiche. My daughters enjoyed strawberries topped with Nutella. We all shared a fish and chips meal from Poppie's which I highly recommend. Probably the best fish and chips we had while in London. There are olive bars and paella and all sorts of amazing foods to enjoy.

All Warren James branches look pretty similar - this one is no exception. It's facade is very modern looking with the majority of the jewelry crammed into the windows. They tend to stock cheaper types of jewelry, but they do a handful of expensive pieces as well and it's for this reason that I recommend this shop to people looking for a younger person or someone who is likely to lose their jewelry, for more important occasions it would be better to shop elsewhere. When you buy the jewelry, you are given the option of a box (for around £2 more), but the default option is to put it in a bag similar to a sandwhich bag! This shop may look small, but what they have is crammed out so much they really do have more than they seem to have.

The shop is central and very welcoming. The prices, for handmade and custom designed stuff, is very reasonable indeed (just don't tell her ladyship).
