This place is full of home and kitchen decoration things. Picture frames, pots and pans, kitchen towels, clocks, monocles, velocipedes. It's decent stuff. No Octopus, but alright just the same. I'd definitely go here for some good kitchen basics if my apartment was feeling a bit bare. Fortunately my apartment likes to wear its clothing - wool sweaters and long johns and jeans to be exact. There's also some things here which would work well as gifts. Anyone seen those chicken nuggets? Anyone? I've got to go find them.

This store is a general store. And as such, I feel uninspired to write anything but a general…read morereview. It has general general store things in it. Shampoo, soap. lamps, tape, pots, pans, chocolates, weird statues for home decoration and other general stuff, such as purple heart badges, old rifles, military uniforms and more. Everything is pretty damn cheap. If you want a kitschy sculpture of an owl painted as though the craftsman was wearing beer google, you've got your store. It won't put you out much for the masterpiece and you might even find that, while you're there, you can pick up a new pair of scissors for a pound or two. If your a pedestrian in the area, you can go to this pedestrian shop, but only if you need some cheap house goods or other random items of little value. There's nothing wrong with this place, don't get me wrong, it just doesn't leave me impassioned.

The owners of this place make it worth all five stars alone. They always are welcoming and kind…read more And the stock and prices are also worth the stars. If you're in the area and need some general store stuff then this is the place to go!!

I love Northcote Road Market for it's diversity, it's food and it's casual atmosphere. I was a…read morelocal to SW11 a few years back and my boyfriend and I used to visit the market for fresh bread or homemade taramasalata, whatever was on offer on any given weekend. There are a number of different stalls from antiques and and odds n ends to all sorts freshly baked and prepared food. There is a huge selection of Italian bread, dips, cakes and biscuits. The market is not that big but it's the perfect size in my opinion. I hate markets that are too huge, you can never decide what to buy but Northcote Road Market is small but perfectly formed offering you everything you need for your Sunday lunch to something nice to put on the mantelpiece at home.

I think there is a real diversity to Northcote Road! Some cute novelty shops, and high street…read morenames, mixed with the weekend Market Traders that offer special baked goods, clothing products, handmade goods, household antiques and even a vintage bicycle stall that fixes your bike if you roll up! It is neatly laid out, and a good people watching area while you sip a cuppa' or if you venture back to the common to walk your dog, or catch some sun. Situated 'between the commons' so you get the best of both worlds with Clapham and Wandsworth Common lifestyle(s) and the closest station is Clapham Junction. The only down side is not all the traders are there from week to week so best to check out this market on a sunny day, or Saturdays when its more active. I did stumble across a Facebook page recently, which showcased the market traders and their current products/services. This should help those who are thinking about visiting. http://www.facebook.com/NorthcoteRoadMarket

If I could usurp Santa's position this Christmas (or actually overthrow, it would be complete…read moremutiny as I would garner troops of rebellious elves eager to depose the evil tyrant known as Saint Nick and we would fight together to make me the queen of the North Pole empire) I would buy everything in this store and distribute it to all of my best friends. If I don't know you, sorry, you're not on the list. But if you are a good boy or girl and you worship me and you join my evil elf empire then I will reward you with pretzels. Everything in this place is quirky and beautiful. They hand choose all kinds of items, from lamps to dressers, frames to napkin holders, wine and champagne glasses and all of their items are surprisingly cheap. I saw the most beautiful lamp, which was obviously handcrafted and vintage for only £30. Actually, everything in there I saw I wanted for my home. The buyers have fantastic taste in interior décor. It is a small operation and everyone in the shop is so helpful and polite. Anytime I need to funk up my living quarters I am going to pick up something from this shop, it's great.

The reason why I will keep coming here over and over is that the coffee they serve comes from Johan &Nyström, a roastery from the heart of Stockholm. I sincerely believe that J&N's coffee is consistently the best world-wide. It could be my bias though, having drunk it for six years, day in, day out and never getting tired of it. Blåbär does not disappoint in terms of preparation and this coffee tastes as good here as it does at Mariatorget in Stockholm. The atmosphere is relaxed and it's bit too loud. Oh, and they ban laptops on weekends. In exchange they offer brunch...

Designers Guild is an eye-popping bevy of furniture, linens, wallpaper, and drapery. It's really worth a visit just to see how marvelously creative people can be when given carte blanche to so. Everything on offer here is so, so, *so* finely-detailed and well-made and beautiful - it's design execution at its pinnacle. They carry the likes of Ralph Lauren Home and Jasper Conran - some designs of which are exclusive to the store. And they just recently launched their own line of fabrics and wallpapers under the name of "The Royal Collection." This line has supposedly been inspired by interiors found in the residences of the Royals - my goodness, it makes me want to see them!!!
