“I was really impressed with the quality of the flowers. I ordered my wedding garlands and bridal hair flowers from here. The staff helped me with my order, and it was ready for collection on the day as expected. They also advised me on how to keep the flowers fresh as on my wedding day, the temperature was 26°C. I would recommend Valli’s.”

“Friendly and they always search to satisify the customer.”

“I was looking for a maroon colour party dress for my cousin’s wedding party, didn’t find anything of my choice in any other shops. I literally went to each and every shop in Ilford lane and Green street. Luckily found a really nice one in Beejees Fashion thanks to the sisters that work there. They were nice, helpful and gave me very good customer service. I would recommend this shop”

“I really like this shop. It's unfortunate that others have had negative experiences but I find this shop has a huge selection and variety in terms of the intensity of some of the designs. The prices are super reasonable.. the only downside is sometimes they may not have your size and they are exchange only which is relatively typical for places that sell clothes such as this. Recently going a few Eid suits there and prices were very good compared to some of the other tat that is being sold. They have some good options for wedding outfits too. Stock is replenished regularly so if you like a design.... you must bag it as it get sold out regularly (I mentioned it can be hard to get sizes). I find that they offer designs that I don't really see on the rest of green street. Give it a go!”

“Such a kind gentleman offering knowledgeable service. They have great variety and colours, and the material is quite good too. I was impressed with what I bought and he was nice enough to give a very good offer. Its worth to go in and see what you may like”

“I am so pleased with the work undertaken by Yas and his team. We had an emergency that required a banister and supporting posts on our staircase as this was needed so we could have a stairlift fitted as my elderly mother was injured and couldn't get downstairs. I rang Yas and he came the following day to fit. I cannot thank him enough. The work undertaken was fantastic, they were very professional, they cleaned up after themselves. I would highly recommend Yas and his team. I will definitely be recommending him to my friends if they need any work undertaken. Thank you Yas. I have attached before and after pictures”

“I Purchased a gemstone bracelet and have to say it is absolutely beautiful, delivery was very quick and the quality of the gemstones is amazing. Thank you LRV will definitely be making more purchases”

“The service received from the Kings and Queens team was great. They really knew their stuff and helped us design and select products for our bathrooms that worked within our budget. They were always contactable and dealt with any questions/issues immediately. We also brought other things from them including our carpet and was really a one stop shop for our renovation. They were able to provide advice and instructions to our builders when needed and I would highly recommend Kings and Queens for all your renovation needs for all types of budgets. I will definitely be using them for the future work we have planned and thanks again to the team.”

“I have been here a few times now for new watch batteries. Nothing is ever a problem, even my Rolex - they had the tool to get the back off to get to the battery, which is quite unusual. Always made to feel welcome, and bought my wife a lovely bracelet for Christmas which she was over the moon with - so very happy :)”

“I have used Brooks the jewellers on multiple occasions from bespoke jewellery to repairs and even watch battery replacements. The service and attention to detail is second to none and Russell really does care. I would highly recommend Brooks the jewellers to anyone who needs a reputable jeweller/repair specialist. First class!”

“Raj is a very nice Chap, very friendly, extremely helpful and has great product knowledge. He helped me with a client fully furnish their new home. Very resourceful. Will definitely shout him on the next project.”

“Recently Had Numerous Tattoo’s At FatTatts Done By Nikhita. I Was Put At Ease From The Moment I Stepped In The Shop Until I Stepped Back Out. Nikhita Led A Great Consultation, She Made Sure I Was Completely Satisfied With Every Aspect Of Each Piece From Stencil To Tattoo. Each And Every Member Of The FatTatts Team Went Above And Beyond My Expectations! They Really Do Understand And Tick All Boxes For Their Clients Needs And Wants.”

“I bought this one , and it's so good. Must visit. Nice service.”

“HIDDEN GEM HELLOOO?!? The photo truly speaks for itself. It was so delicious and really tasted like it was made out of love! We came here once before and were given some sweet goodies as a kind gesture, it really stuck with us so obviously we had to make sure to come back. This time we were treated with the same warm welcome and kindness. The man who works at the till is such a sweetheart, always so attentive to the customers and never fails to put a smile on our face before we leave, he really makes up for most of our experience. Love love love! 100% recommend this place ❤️”

“Lovely customer service from Ashik and great coffee helpful worker I dropped my coffee and he offered to make me a new one”

“Staying a few doors down at a VRBO, and we've come here every morning of our stay for coffee. The specialty coffees are delicious, and the baristas are so nice! They also offer a variety of breakfast pastries that our kids loved. We haven't tried their actual breakfast items as we aren't morning eaters, but they also look delicious! Thank you Artful Blend for making our stay a little brighter!”

“I very recently attended a five day Microcementing course with Andy. I had researched and spoken to a number of other courses all of which I found were uninterested in me but just wanted me to purchase the products they were pushing, the majority of courses out there are less than three days. Andy’s course was 5 days and it was very very good. We completed so much detailed work, not only in Microcementing but in other products and finishes too which only added to my skillset and understanding of the materials. Andy’s knowledge and teaching techniques are second to none and I genuinely feel it was a game changer having completed the five day course with him. Beware of other, shorter cowboy courses advertised with other companies. If you want a professional full to the brim hands on course this is for you!! Andy’s after course assistance is also fantastic, I speak with him regularly about jobs and he gives me advice and tips to help the process run smoothly, when you buy into his course you get the link with Andy forever and thats what is key to enable future works to go smoothly!! He is not pushy with his products and his Microcement however his products and Microcement is the best out there and excellent value for money. His advice, skillset and knowledge is genuinely the difference between his courses and others out there. He’s great crack too !!”

“The first Romanian shop I've found that has minced meat rolls/ kebab/ mici/ mititei, freshly made by their own brand. Amazing selection of food and drinks from Romania and Eastern Europe. Totally recommend. Wonderful and super helpful personnel.”
