Huge shop, it has a very clean and spacious feel to it…read more Staff are quick to offer help and give sales pitches. Bit of available pain if you are just browsing but if you do want to buy something they can be helpful. Prices are average but can be beaten online.

An artist's & crafter's haven. This shop seems small at the entrance but contains pretty much…read moreanything painters and graphic artists would need at the back. They also stock beads, strings & paper. The staff is knowledgeable & helpful (I was given the low down on the quality of the watercolor pigments I wanted to buy). It was also bristling with brushes. The prices here range from expensive to cheap. The next time I go there, I plan to but a lino slab to carve up for a press. The only drawback in here is the low lighting but I can get behind that.

Internet purchase from this business. Polite staff offered a…read moregreat service and the price for a box of top quality branded coloured pencils would be hard if not impossible to beat given that express delivery service was FOC. Thoroughly recommended.

Located in the Friary shopping centre this is a nice sized shop selling all kinds of jewelery and…read morehair accessories mainly for children. You can also get your ears pierced in this branch and buy items for your hen night. It is well organised but can get messy quite quickly I think the staff should try and keep it a bit tidier to make it more inviting to customers. Great for younger teenagers and for pocket money items and stocking fillers. They also have a range of hen night items and some great hats and boots.

There are two branches in this streetthis one stocks high quality clothing for both genders. I always check here for additions to my tie collection, and am usually successful.

Kingsfield Hospice Shop is situated next to the Sainsbury's Local in Kingsfield…read more It's a bright and airy shop that has recently been refitted and so doesn't have that down-at-heal feel to it that many charity shops have. All the goods for sale here seem to be in good condition and there is a good mix of books, clothes, accessories, toys and nick nacks. Stock changes frequently. This store is particularly good for toys - not sure why but I've picked up some real bargains here. It's easy to park here if you've come by car as there is a lay-by in front of Sainsburys that you can use.

A little curiosity shop that I have spent to much time in. Weirdly intriguing, it sells various…read morelittle odd things like mini ceramic Buddha's, pictures, carvings, ashtrays, wind chimes, fridge magnets, trinket boxes aromatherapy oils and cushions etc. It is all very random but it is always busy with people looking for something to take home and put in its rightful place on the sideboard on mantelpiece.

If your hippie aunt decided to set up a shop, it might look something like Evolution. It gives the…read moreimpression that they started to have the standard new age-y candles, oils, incense, Eastern influence stuff, etc. and then somewhere in the middle of stocking the shop got bored and bought some quirky homewares to fill the rest of the space. That being said, this place reminds me of home. There are many a store on State Street in Madison, Wisconsin that could easily be a sister shop to this one in Hammersmith! I like it. It's cheesy and definitely not actually spiritual in any way, but I like it. It's fun. Silly, but fun.

There are 2 of these shops pretty much facing each other either side of the street. One sells…read moreeverything garden and DIY related. The other selling a fantastic range of cook and houseware. Both are definately worth a look as they are like little aladdins caves, full of treasures and certain to have what you are looking for! Staff are really knowledgable and are happy to answer any questions you may have or point you in the right direction if you are stuck. Prices are reasonable, no more expensive than anywhere else in the town and generally I've always found there is a really nice atmosphere to both shops.
