Will's Art Warehouse is a commercial gallery with a difference. It attempts to cater for all of…read moreit's customer's needs providing them with a friendly but not pushy approach, a wide variety of art work, and affordable prices. The price range of the art work never exceeds £3,000 and start as low as £50. The owners of this gallery also happen to be the creators of the now renowned 'Affordable Art Fair' which takes place twice a year in London and has now spread through other locations in Europe. Unfortunately for this gallery, I find that it is located in a rather unlikely place, in the middle of a residential upmarket area and is a bit hard to access. I feel that it could do much better in a more accessible and central location.

This store is middle age signed, sealed and delivered in one room. I don't even know what half the…read morestuff they sell is, but I found myself, literally minutes away from Christmas, neck deep in a credit crunch and scrabbling around trying to buy an £18 colander. They do sell lots of lovely house hold bits and bobs but until I have a house, Labrador and a child called Mimi Fifi Orchid Clooney (a girl can dream) I wont be buying anything from here. It's a personal thing, possibly connected to being a huge consumerist ass hole whilst having a huge problem with consumerism. For me, buying a £300 pair of shoes is wrong but necessary, where as buying two plain white enamel breakfast bowls for £16 seems ridiculous. I am aware that this statement is ridiculous in itself, in fact, I just don't want to talk about it anymore. I will say though, that this shop is lovely, but I prefer Ikea.

I've been meaning to visit Labour and Wait ever since I read an article sometime ago in The…read moreGuardian profiling couples who had started up new and innovative businesses in the East End, and the L&W concept really struck a cord. You can be assured the new shop in Redchurch Street sells the same functional products for the kitchen, home and garden as the existing shop on Cheshire St, however I believe L&W are moving from Cheshire St to Redchurch St in the not-too-distant future. For too long, consumers have been lulled into a false sense of security with large, "convenient" hardware stores such as Homebase and B&Q etc. who unfortunately have, over the years got away with cheap replicas of good quality homeware goods. L&W moves away from this methodolgy and focuses fully on sustainable goods made in enamel, stainless steel and wood, rather than plastic and throw-away alternatives. The shop is minimalist in style, but all the products are displayed in a creative and alternative way, which I'd liken a little to the layout of Muji stores. As most shoppers today, I am mindful of what I buy having an effect on our environment and planet, but love L&W's ethos. I especially love the enamel kitchen sets, glass jugs, butter dishes and stainless steel buckets and watering cans. True classics! Now, don't get me wrong, you can't get anywhere near the vast selection (though often poor and low quality) of hardware and homeware products from L&W that you get in chain hardware stores, but what you do get (as the blackboard outside the shop and web home page state!) is "high quality, traditional goods for the home", with the added bonus of browsing a low-tech shop and experiencing a low stress retail experience. Now that has to be worth a trip to Shoreditch any day of the week!

While, the clothing selection seemed heavily weighted toward ages 0-24 months, the cards and small collection of toys/gift items spanned a wider range. I was in on a Sunday and had a great visit with the proprietress, who has been in business at this location for 13 years, and who now also apparently does a brisk business online. She was helpful without being remotely pushy as I considered options to take home for the wee Miss S. And as much a fan as I am of online transactions, I would highly recommend popping by after a cup of Kaffeine for a quick look: it's a charming place.

Came here twice. DAY ONE:…read more- The girl was on the phone, I couldn't ask her something about a dress size...cause she was chatting with her hairdresser that wanted to know if her haircut was what she wanted...and than if the date was fun. Well, it was apparently. The date was, he walked her home, she didn't ask him in. No really? Yes! She didn't! I thought, I'll not write a rev now...I'll write one after a better shopping day. DAY TWO: The girl was talking to a neighbour whom had just rented out the spare bedroom. After that discussion, he pulled out his phone to show pictures of his baby and...apparently his ex wife, pictures we didn't want to know existed. The girl, the shop Assistente was too busy with her friend to help me... So! If you need a date, or a new friend? You should shop here!
