I was nervous since this is the first time going to a place because of Yelp. Got to say I'm happy…read morethat the trip was welcoming, especially since I got some more wool for my late-at-night TV binges. Great shop and great service. You can find anything for aspiring artists or knitters alike and still more to see. I might be overselling it but I think it's a great hobby shop that's around the corner.

If you're anything like me, you cannot be bothered with stopping by endless small specialty shops…read morethat never have what you're looking for... and if you're American, you're probably thinking "GEEZ why isn't there a Michaels????" In my search for halloween costume creations, I decided to just bring out the big guns and find the largest crafty store possible, and this is what I came up with. It's a haul from central, but they had everything I was looking for (except for the size in one thing), but I got all my crafting done in one place and that was well worth the trip. My fellow yelper wasn't so lucky, as she seems to be looking for some items that just don't prevail anywhere in the UK, but if you need a crafting mecca, I suggest you pick up a crossword puzzle and take the tube ride out. It's just a short 5-10 min walk from the tube station too!

I love visiting game shops when I travel and this was the best one I've checked out in London so…read morefar. They have a great selection covering board games, RPGs (including some wonderful indie titles as well as a lot of D&D), tactics games, and hobby supplies. I had a lovely conversation with Winter while I killed time before a show. I own a game store in the US and they gave me lots of ideas for new things to try! There was a great mix of popular titles and more niche ones, all at reasonable prices.

What a lovely little D&D shop. This place is a treat. Great selection packed tightly into a small…read morespace.

I just love coming here. It's not particularly well signposted, and isn't on a street where you'd…read moreexpect to come across it. All that does is make it all the more special when you arrive. The store is an Aladdin's cave of treasures. This isn't those Warhammer type games, no Orcs and Goblins will be found here. Instead, these are the proper toy soldiers from a vast array of eras. They are set up in displays, although the vast majority are for sale. The only downside is that it gets a bit warm in here during the summer, but frankly the awesomeness of it all is well worth it. If you're in the Buckingham Palace area with your kids, then I worth popping in just for a look around - at speed you could do it in two minutes, but I'm pretty sure you'll want to stay longer.

Great selection of toy soldiers. Fun place to shop while visiting Buckingham palace.read more

Very helpful family business. They were very supportive to me as a beginner helicopter pilot. I…read morejust wish i had gone in there before i spent money on ebay! They also pointed out that some of the best pilots in the world are women, so i didn't have any negativity at all being a women myself! I have returned there many times and am now a regular thanks to my slowly improving flying skills.

i went into the shop to buy a radio controlled helicopter as a present for my brother. the guy that…read moreserved me was virtually persuading me not to buy one because i was a woman (he even said to me '' helicopters are really a mans thing'') this i felt was very sexist considering it was for my brother and not for me (although i didnt tell him that it was a present) This is not very good customer relations and i think they need to undersatnd that women can buy things men buy, like a real car, watches, jewellery, dvds..do i need to go on. I cannot rate this shop at all, i find their attitude arogant and rather disturbing. i would not recommend this shop to anybody unless i loathed them (but some of the helicopters did look rather nice even through the eyes of a woman), and could quite see the attraction to them THEY DEFINATLEY WONT GET ANY OF MY MONEY.

It's a much needed market these days as the highstreet arts and crafts shops have all disappeared…read more This place sells lots of useful bits and bobs, from canvass to model kits, wedding themed items, glue and scissors. Craft paper and decorative gems, glitter etc. Fairly big store, the only issue I had was taking 15 minutes to check out 3 items. Security tag removal and the four different prices that came up on till causing issues.

This place is awesome!

I am not keen on crafts but my kids love it, and can spen ages looking at all the little things. I do find it handy for general household items such as fabric glue and tape to hold up hems etc. I am sure you can get these cheaper elsewhere but I have no idea where to find them! They also ran some classes there a while ago to give people the chance to learn new hobbies wwhich is a really good idea - you have to pop into the store to find out though.

I know I'm in Oddballs when my phone rings and I answer my wallet because I'm trying to concentrate on the store clerk moving back and forth on a unicycle while I'm trying Chinese yo-yos with one hand. Then a clerk outside the door makes a huge bubble with some sort of O ring and soapy liquid; and I drop everything in an effort to find the bubble and pop it. Oddballs, in addition to their unicycles and Chinese yo-yos have kites, juggling balls and skateboards both normal and excessively long. They even have off-road skateboards. It's a high-energy heaven, and kudos must be presented to the talented and capable staff members who are always on hand to show you how things work. Their job interviews must be amongst the most interesting this world will ever see.
