A nice clean store, with nicely displayed merchandise. The people working there are really friendly, helpful and lovely well meaningful attitude. However their busyness does affect customer service. If only all places felt this nice. read more

If someone told you there was a place in London where you could pick up a pair of unused patent…read moreleather Louboutin ankle boots, retail value £500, price £80 you'd say they were high - or talking about the first day of the hallowed Selfridges sale - right? If someone told you that purchasing said Louboutins was, in fact, an act of altruism, you'd doubtless think they were out of their mind. Cancer Research UK's Marylebone High Street branch is just this blessed place. The daddy of all charity shops being one that turns up such gems as heels by Miu Miu, dresses by Diane Von Furstenberg and the occasional vintage piece so sublime you'd be hard pressed to find its equivalent at the unrivaled Alfie's Antique Market.

Shelter
(1 review)
I think most people would say Shelter exists to support rough sleepers and those who are homeless…read more Given that I have supported Shelter irregularly for quite a few years now, I was surprised to learn the other day that in fact their remit goes a long way beyond that. Shelter exist to help everyone find and keep a home, so some of their energies are diverted into helping people face repossession, for instance -- and in these straitened times I guess that could potentially be quite a lot of us. They campaign behind the scenes, talking to movers and shakers, and (I understand) enjoying a lot of respect in such circles too. Naturally there's a lot more information on their website but I've always believed in the importance of this issue and am more than happy to commend Shelter's work.

Use LT, you won't be sorry.

I am writing to you to compliment the high calibre of staff here at the YMCA. This morning a…read morefemale lifeguard (on the 7am shift), checked in on me to see if I was alright. My swimming cap was not covering my ears (which the audiologist told me to avoid getting water in them). She noticed me pulling on it in the deep end of the pool. She went above and beyond to see if she could find a spare cap for me in the back room and from reception. I do not know her name. However, I would like to give positive feedback about her. She left at 8am when changing over with Gary. I would like to give feedback about Gary who does life guarding in the pool area. I have had the pleasure of knowing him since I joined your club in April 2021. Whilst I was swimming and reached the wall at the deep end of the pool, he introduced himself to me and asked if I was OK with him keeping watch around the area, to which I replied yes. I asked him if he was a swimming instructor, as well as a life guard and he confirmed yes. My initial impression of Gary was one of a professional and friendly person who takes his job seriously and who cares about members' safety. I felt reassured and also confident that I would be in an environment with friendly staff. It is now April 2023 and I can say that my first impression of Gary remains of high esteem. I enjoy speaking to him and have observed he is well liked by other service users (as people always greet him when they arrive and leave the pool). My most memorable times at the YMCA have been when Gary, Sinead (the swimming instructor) and Warren (both of whom I have not seen in a long time), have been on shift. I can say without a doubt that their presence makes attending the YMCA even more worthwhile. They are kind hearted, enthusiastic and encouraging!

However, I don't know if I caught someone in a bad mood or 5 minutes before closing, but when I went to drop off clothing to the good cause, I was greeted with a scowl, a door slam and not even a thank you. Absolutely terrible, it also made me want to take back what I had given away and give it to another charity like the Cancer Research UK up the street. I should have if had I not been in shock from the rudest encounter I have ever experienced in the least likely place, a charity shop. It doesn't matter where you work, but customer service is customer service.

Marie Curie, however, perhaps due to its size, has more than the average charity shop. The ornaments shelf, as someone else mentioned, is a treasure trove. Great place for cheap photo frames, and the books shelf is packed tight. I bought a very nice, young T shirt, perfect size, for £2. Now, you have to be happy with that don't you?!

They offer delivery on large items through their van drivers, and also do house clearances for people who are getting rid of furniture.

The clothes are high end prices and a bit too dear for me but the furniture shop is amazing and has so many bargains I can't list them all here but it's easy to pick up a tv for £20, a dishwasher for £50 and a bookcase for under a tenner. The upstairs is not accesible for wheelchair users or anyone who can't climb stairs. The shop can be accessed for the high street or the best bet is to park in Morrisons and walk down the stairs as the car park is behind the shop.

I've…read morevisited 3-4 times over the past couple of years and the things that you can find here never ceases to amaze me. There are actually two shops - a clothing store and a "everything else" store (you know, books, CDs, ornaments etc). Being a girl, I tend to be in the clothing store more often than not. It's generally quite quiet in the store and the staff are really friendly, sharing stories of people who have brought stuff in and generally having a chat with you, which is nice. I've had some great finds too - but you have to be prepared to rummage around. I've bought a few coats and one really nice Shanghai Tang dress, which I was super pleased with! If you like a bargain, then the Red Cross Shop is for you. From time-to-time, they also seem to have half price sales on the clothes, which is nice too. And you leave the store with a feel-good feeling - you are reusing something that somebody else didn't want, you can gift-aid your purchase so that the Red Cross gets the tax back, and a donation goes to the Red Cross too. It's nice to come here, even if it's just for a browse.
