Friendly in Kingston Upon Thames

“Excellent place for Sheesha. Authentic place, tasty Sheesha! Nice booths with screens. Staff very friendly. A great place to just hang out, good music playing.”

“Best shisha place in Kingston, I usually smoke grape mint and it last for easy two hours, staff is really friendly, i already recommend to all my friends!”

“They have nice things bust still pricing so I just did window shopping.”

“Staff are all extremely friendly and always warm and very helpful. They regularly have about 3 staff on the self checkouts which is more efficient than some other supermarkets that only have 1.”

“Shout out to Adam from Sony, who was the friendliest, most supportive and and fantastic member of staff. Didn’t feel pressured to buy, but was given great advice in a way that felt informative; didn’t feel at all patronised despite my complete lack of knowledge. He was smiling, pragmatic and a real ambassador both for Sony and for John Lewis. Fabulous service - thank you Adam!”

“I get most of my shoes here, always great Italian styles and good value for money. Staff are always helpful and friendly, particularly LORIAN who was extremely helpful and resourceful.”

“My daughter and I come here a lot. We enjoy the upstairs area. They always have vegan whipped topping, too. A lot of Nero's don't have it made! The staff are very friendly and accommodating.”

“Love going to this Costa because of my lovely and friendly barista Sanjana who makes the best coffees and hot chocolates. Very cosy place:)”

“This is one of those pubs I've always wanted to go into but never quite plucked the courage to do so. Then once you're in, you wonder why you took so long. Tucked away behind a row of barbers, banks and takeaways, it survived the history destroying ring road creation that encases Kingston. It sticks out despite being hidden, as a building that doesn't quite belong in this part of town. The saloon type doors give way to the bar, a TV on opposite sides of the wall, there's a symmetry to the place, and you're spoiled for choice for where to go. You could people-watch at the right side, a prime spot, quite literally watching the world go by. Or you can go to the left, a favoured position of the locals, presumably due to the proximity to the jukebox, slot machine, toilets and "terrace". I perched on the corner of the bar, couple of pints of Fosters. Cash accepted, both pints south of a fiver. Unfortunately I'd missed the cut off for the sandwiches, genuinely gutted, few places offer this fine line between "pub snack" and "pub food". Intrigued by the need to specify the quality of the 50/50 bread. Sausage and onions will be the priority next time. They show all the football here, a worthy escape from the town centre to sneak in part or all of a game. That being said, I'd probably make a point of coming here specifically for the game. The pints are cheap, the staff are friendly, it's spacious and quiet. It has a predictability to it, a calmness, depending on your objective - whether it's many pints or recovery mode, this place could tick both boxes. Pubs like this are a dying breed, this one has even been knocked down and rebuilt further back (c.1950), had it not, the ringroad would've obliterated it. As so much of Kingston's history gets sold off to make luxury flats and questionably affordable housing, I don't think we'd ever get a say in the matter if this were to go. But I'm glad I've been now, and I'm looking forward to going back.”

“Gabriela and Simon at Halfords Workshop on Kingston Cambridge Road were very friendly, and extremely helpful about repairing my car lights for the MOT. They were also very honest throughout. Highly recommended!”

“This Salon is both friendly and Professional. Both the beautician and hairdressers are attentive to your needs and give care to attention to detail. I personally have had beauty treatments and hairdressers and was very pleased with their service. They do an excellent job and prices are fab. This salon is tucked away and located in Cloisters Mall in Kingston Upon Thames open 7 days a week. The staff are welcoming and chatty providing tea and magazines for a Pleasant stay during your treatment. Great advantage is you can book online.”

“Great place for trade products, very helpful and knowledgeable staff, parking is very limited. Would recommend reserve and collect to save time there.”

“Ended up on this store today picking up things for work & It was super hot and what I was carrying was very heavy. The lovely security man called Sebastian I think was his name came and assisted me, not only did he help me he made a bad day a lot better. It’s this type of customer service that makes me return to a supermarket. 10/10❤️”

“Staff are helpful and polite which makes a nice change. I'd appreciate some variation in the lines carried every now and again but can't complain given the size of the shop. You could actually do a weekly shop in here if forced to but it's best for a quick thing you forgot.”

“1st visit here yesterday, as researched on Google while visiting the area. Great little shop, so helpful, knowledgeable too. Felt comfortable asking questions. Fabulous customer service. Thanks Scott, the gift was greatly appreciated.”

“Cleo was so lovely and helped us with our sofa purchase. Good quality sofas here and looking forward to receiving it.”

“I was looking for a quick alteration, and they did it on the spot within 10 minutes. they did great service. She is very honest.... she give reasonable price.”

“A vibe! Food was great and the interior aesthetic was definitely insta-worthy! We ordered: Elote, Chimichangas, Beef burrito, prawn tacos, and Churros for dessert. Also the chicken taco from the kids menu - best Mexican food we've had in a long time, everything was zingy and fresh, and not stodgy or packet-tasting. Especially recommend the prawn tacos. Staff are friendly and attentive. Price was fair for what was offered. Nothing else like this in West London, particularly grateful that it's Halal! Will definitely be back with friends!”

“One of my favourite Indian takeaways. Very reasonably priced. Food is of a good quality. Fast service. Delivery as well as takeaway is available. No dining in.”

“My friend was not feeling well and fainted in the store and the staff were so helpful. Specifically Jameel, Selena and Maria who work in H&M. They were kind and thoughtful, keeping her company and ensuring that she was safe. You have a wonderful team that are doing a great job! Also the bentall centre staff Chelsea and Jordan were incredibly helpful. She is doing much better now and we appreciate all of the assistance.”

“Popped in with my 10 year old boy who is getting into skateboarding. The guys in the shop scooped him and made him feel so welcome and at ease. They sized it all up, took care of him and kitted him out perfectly. He feels very special. Thank you all. A gem of a shop, a treasure in fact. A perfect example of fine quality, knowledgeable independent retailing.”

“Bought the new pickleball trainers and after wearing them for 15 min, the balls of my feet started to burn. I took them back to the Kingston branch and Khatereh was super helpful. Rather than giving me a gift voucher, which I did not want, she gave me a full refund for the shoes. Much appreciated.”

“Mark at Microtees gave a massive discount to my sons charity football team after they set up after the passing of his girlfriend Kath. Mark was approachable, easy to liase with and his knowledge ,expertise and quality of printing is outstanding . Mark would be my first go to and I would advise anyone to contact him for any printing needs . Fantastic company . From Lisa at LEOMINA ORODUCTIONS LTD / KATHSLADS CHARITY TEAM”

“Great stop off for refreshments before a long walk. Service is good at cafe and atmosphere always buzzing with like minded fitness enthusiasts and normal everyday dog walkers and families.”

“What a great place either to take a break or just to indulge yourself if an almond croissant. Ps: I think the cheapest and greatest menu I have ever seen in London. Wish I lived closer !”

“Best nero. Lovely and extremely fast staff. Best coffee batistas”

“I come in everyday and Omar and Sheyla have always been so nice and helpful. Best coffee shop in Kingston by a mile thanks to those two!”

“Great food and family friendly.”

“I have been to plenty of Wetherspoons, and I can tell that easily this is a great place to chill with friends. Food is decent, service is decent. I have visited the place like twice per month I cannot find any other fault apart from men’s bathroom being smelly. Nice atmosphere, nice prices, not very noisy.”
