The 30 Best Handmade items in London

“Came here just before the second lockdown. Very delicious and fulfilling meal! We had a little mix up with the order and got some king prawns we did not order for appetizer, but it turned out to be a good mistake. Linguine with clams, two risottos and margherita pizza were all delicious. Finished with classics tiramisu and torta del nonna.”

“Lovely British label I love the man style”

“A beautiful little coffee shop located opposite Clapham Common. They have a great selection of coffee and cake! The staff were very friendly and Know how to make a good flat white! Highly recommend this place, thank you!”

“4.5 stars!! We came here for brunch and had a really really nice time! We’ve walked past this shop countless times, so it was nice to step in and enjoy the food. A really great selection, and SUPER delicious! Loved our brunch- the coffees were amazing too. Looking forward to coming back soon! Losing 0.5 stars because we walked in and the smell of vinegar was a bit strong but other than that, had a great time :)”

“Great shop, has everything you need for DIY and gardening. Little dream of items in stock. Support local businesses even if it means more than Amazon. Lovely gentleman who runs the shop as well.”

“Best place to get any wood cut to size still the same family run business anything you want from wood they'll make it for you”

“This store is an amazing place to shop at! You can find all the things you need .staff are always friendly and more than happy to help! My experience with this shop is amazing i definitely recommend it!”

“Advertised as Holborn but in fact a 5 min walk from Russell Square on the delightful Lambs Conduit Street, is this branch of Folk Clothing. A seemingly odd location (until you look at the other stores that surround it) they have the full Folk range of beautifully understated, casual mens clothing. And don't forget, the women's store is two doors down...”

“"The best dirty chai! Not too sweet, not too strong!" - My Mrs Guys you really need to improve the atmosphere - the flooring, tall ceiling, big windows, perfect advert worthy prepped food behind glass counters makes it seem like a cold factory or school diner experience. Get some rugs on the floor!”

“Pretty chill cafes. A lot better priced and more options than the one across the way. The brioche roll & coffee was pretty good.”

“Oat cappuccino is amazing and Marina also made me try the vegan focaccia that simply blew my mind. I keep coming back!”

“Waitrose are keeping their standards very high as usual. All the staff are very helpful and very friendly. Always there to help if asked. Good quality on the fish and meat.”

“I think Harrods pricing is to be competitive but their bags aren’t as good. The perfect weekly shop if you’ve only got the boot capacity of an Italian super car. Five stars for quality.”

“Today I went to try on a dress I had been eyeing up for a while as I came out the fitting room I was asking my partner to help with the zip and immediately Ellie came over to help she was unbelievably helpful and made the experience one to remember. Ellie obviously is a huge asset to Anthro and really appreciated her help. Thank you so much Ellie :) x”

“Great experience, store is smaller but has a good selection, the team is excellent, super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about their product offering. As a North American traveller I recommend signing up for their Anthro perks here, it is a much better rewards program. Clean and neatly organized, the changing rooms are inviting.”

“Always a pleasure being here!! I come here to get my coffee every time I pass by and am always served with grace and kindness especially by stephanie ”

“Cafe Noir is a hidden gem for sandwich lovers! I’ve tried a lot of places, but nothing compares to the freshness and flavor here. Their ingredients are top-notch, and the variety on the menu is impressive — there’s something for every taste. The mozzarella cheese sandwich, in particular, is next-level delicious. Perfectly melted cheese, fresh bread, and just the right balance of flavors. You can tell everything is made with care. Whether you’re craving something classic or a little more adventurous, Cafe Noir delivers every time. Highly recommended for a quick bite or a satisfying lunch. Can’t wait to go back!”

“Too bad I don’t live in the area, this is a place that I could visit daily. Food is amazing, coffee is perfect and the smoothies are as it should be. The staff was very welcoming and there should be an option to give at leave 6 stars, one extra for the cat, he looks like he owns the place!”

“Very convenient little shop with lovely staff and most things you need at a pinch.”

“Super helpful and friendly staff! We needed to exchange a defective duvet and the person at the counter helped us and was very attentive. Also, the lady at self check out was very supportive and efficient. Definitely will come back!”

“Very helpful people. As a returns hub for Amazon they got my parcel properly labelled and registered (via my phone's app) and even sealed the packaging properly. I'll certainly be going there more often for their other corner shop offerings.”

“Try the mate, a traditional Argentinian drink. This is one of my favourite cafes in London. It feels genuine, I even brought an Argentinian friend of mine here and she approved saying that it's awesome. I love the pictures on the walls, the vibe and the food is nice.”

“Great service nice people and nothing but a friendly place to be”

“Worth the journey from South London, purely based on the great value for money, amazing hospitality and top quality shisha. I really enjoyed the music too, learning some of the classic Persian pop songs. Very unassuming from the outside however it is a tastefully designed hangout with humourous LED art. Thank you for being such great hosts, keep up the fantastic work.”

“Foun very beautiful vintage style dress for my niece there. Lovely place run by good professionals.”

“Amazing knitwear and good quality xx”

“Nice shop with a large variety of vintage clothes. Very friendly and courteous staff.”

“Amazing customer service. I've been getting all my DIY stuff from here for years. They seem to have everything, and their product knowledge is second to none. Highly recommend!”

“Great selection I'd wanted something cheap and easy for lunch as was hungry and at the end of the month £ was limited... id popped into Iceland as more convenient but except for the reductions which were fab and I had to resist as was for fruit which I already had; i had to go the long way round to Morrisons but was worth it as I got exactly what I wanted.. aisles seemed a bit of a maze and despite there not being loads of us in there I was asked to 'excuse me' twice possibly by the same person; maybe because the reduced section is very close to a pillar. Easy to get to checkouts; glad I didn't need to navigate the rest of the store and all seemed to be working which made a nice change... I hadn't noticed the kiosk just inside which seemed well stocked for an eve quicker visit .. glad I made the effort.. staff seemed nice too, very clean and uncluttered for a weekday lunchtime during the holidays.. thanks”
