Large and well-stocked outdoors shop with decent prices. It's actually quite a large chain, owned…read moreby JD Sports, and sells a wide range of well known brands. This store is on the market square just behind the church. It runs the length of the block, and is the largest outdoor store in Kingston. It has a cafe and soft-play area inside. I was on the look-out for a specific knee-high mid-weight sock, which I've been looking for, for ages, and was delighted that they had it in stock. It'll be a regular calling point for me from now on. Reasonably friendly staff, though I only needed to speak to them at the till.

I first came across Snow & Rock many years ago a ski show in Earl's Court where I purchased my…read morefirst pair of ski boots from them. Since then I've returned many times for skiing related purchases. Skiing isn't a cheap shop and indeed Snow & Rock aren't a cheap ski shop so be prepared for some credit card pain when you shop here. I tend to buy my more specialist items like ski boots, skis and goggles from here as I feel quality in these areas is worth some extra money for good advice and good fitting. After all, these items tend to last me years, so it's worth getting quality which will last I've now skied long enough to know when I've getting good advice or if someone is trying to blag. The advice here is generally solid. I like their custom footbed service where they will mould the soles of your boots to fit your feet exactly. Having a pair of perfectly fitting and comfortable ski boots is vital to an enjoyable ski holiday and these are well worth the investment. Snow & Rock will also adjust boots after purchase for up to a year after purchase. As usual, hit the shop for bargains at the end of ski seasons. The clothing is expensive here and I tend to go elsewhere for less trendy but more affordable gear - I can't bear to spend that amount of money on something I've only going to wear 1 or 2 weeks a year

They made sure I ordered the proper awning for LHD vehicles and cut the figure 8 in thirds so it could fit in the same parcel to save me more in shipping. This was also the best price I could find globally, including the delivery fees. So, this is probably the best place in the world to buy an inflatable drive-away tent! Thank you very much Funky Leisure.

We end up with Arcteryx ski gear. Ellis Brigham is generally a black hole that hoovers up our money. This location is quite a bit smaller than the one in Covent Garden, but it lies within the one-block strip of outdoor sporting good stores right in the middle of High Street Kensington. Yay, comparison shopping! The other plus being that off-season ski gear sales don't get picked over quite as quickly. Do beware the breeders and their spawn, though. Getting hit in the lower extremities by a pram or scooter or a running tot not watching where they're going is a distinct possibility.

This Ski Togs location is tucked in a little mews off the main road through Acton, and you'd absolutely never stumble across it unless you were looking. Staff gave me some good suggestions about different types of wraps, what breathed well, and what might make my goggles fog up. You can buy your gear or - if you're only an occasional skier - hire it instead.

Millets is just off the market square so easy to find and travel to. It's a large store with a good…read morerange of items focusing on the value side of the market with brands such as Peter Storm. The price of outdoor gear has been going up in a crazy way over the years with new ranges each year with supposed increases in quality and technical attributes being the reason for price increases. Millets counters this to some extent by offering basics at reasonable prices which may not do the job as well as some of the top ranges but unless you are on the hills every weekend you may not even notice this. If heavy rain is likely I just stay at home so the latest waterproof is not needed!
