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. Also pick up a Notting Hill bookstore linen tote while you are there.

On the day we went, the store wasn't very organized and the lines were long. However, if you're flying in and leave something, this is the place you go to find anything you may need while in London. I was a bit disappointed, as this seems like a nice area of town and I expected to see more high-end merchandise. This store has the same items as every other similar store in the US and the ones I've visited in other countries. The canned drinks near the registers are cheaper than restaurants and corner stores, so we got a few for our walk back to the hotel.

One of the driest locations when it comes to clothing…read more I love the company. Extra because it's available in so many countries. Having Winners being my favorite in Canada, I was elated to realize the company is in the UK also. So I did exactly what I do best and went into the shop to help settle into my new home. Did the most part, there's a huge selection of bathroom supplies. Literally 1/5th of the store. Shampoos, conditioners, body care, makeup. The whole nine. You'll surely find something. Clothing on the other hand is really a depressing thought. I've been here 4 times now and already I haven't found a single clothing article worth a second glare. Maybe is the pandemic that's cause everything to run dry, but it was quite a disappointing couple of experiences. The staff are super helpful and pretty much willing to accommodate any way they can. Some of the employees do have staring eyes (for some random reason. At least be sure to blink) But oh well.

I had gone to Boots Opticians last year and the experience was subpar. This was such a contrast! It's a family-owned business and they truly care about their clients.

I'm now on their contact lens subscription plan and look forward to a long-term relationship. Highly recommended!

And if you are looking for something in particular that they don't have they'll do their best to track one down. The prices vary from item to item depending on how collectible it is but even if your not looking to buy it can be quite a funny experience that takes you back to days of innocence.

Most things are under £5 so it is an easily manageable delight if someone does have meaning for you. Most of all though was their kindness and tolerance towards the very young children doing what they do. A beautiful soothing place.

Why do people wear expensive sunglasses in London? They're useless. This city gets sun two days…read moreper year. Don't spend £400 on some Gucci's. Come to NYS and buy two pairs of glasses for £12. They don't look as sleek as a pair of Gucci sunglasses, but they don't look crazy cheap either, so you can say that your glasses are made by some obscure eyewear designer from Italy that's up and coming and get away with it. They have all kinds of cute and appealing designs. So don't be silly, get some specs from here.

However, we did come away with several purchases, mine were mainly and candles and her a wonderful art-deco lamp for £50 (but in Habitat would be twice the price). The items are offbeat and unusual and range from the smallest things like napkin rings and cuff links to silver mountable stag heads and 1950s telephones. The shop assistant is as quirky as the store too, a pleasure to deal with.

To sum it all up, when I told the lady at reception about the experience and showed the damage to my jumper (which is non-reversible) she said sorry and continued by asking me to pay the full price. The least I could expect is some discount and more questions about how can they improve next time. This is terribly disappointing for a price tag of £163
