Christmas & New Year Opening Hours and Sale
|
|
|
|
|
We're very, very tired after selling all those Christmas presents to you, so we're having a long nap......zzzzzzzzzzzz...and we'll be closed for a while.
We shut the doors around 4pm on Christmas Eve in Islington (earlier in Chelsea) and we re-open them on Thursday 8th January 2009 at 10am.
We're not answering the phone. We're not processing web orders. We're just relaxing.
Those working in our Harvey Nichols Concession, poor sods, are actually open all the time except Christmas and Boxing Day - so you can go and drive them crazy if you feel you haven't done enough shopping already.
And if you do feel as though you want to shop, have a think about the sale we're having.

Scroll down and keep reading and clicking. We've got all kinds of things - even opinions on the Mayor of London and bendy buses.
Email us with any questions, such as: What's that table made of? Can you deliver my sofa to Norway? If Ken Livingstone loved London so much, why did he make us all travel around it on Bendy Buses and encourage people to shop in Bluewater and Brent Cross?
We're sure to know the answer and if we don't, we'll make something up that sounds convincing anyway.

| Fair Prices |
We're not John Lewis, but you've probably already noticed that. However, we do have something in common with them - we price match - and that means you can buy with confidence from us. It's not a tricky policy. We're straightforward about it. We price fairly and keenly - but with an eye on being sensible and remaining in business. So if you're thinking of buying something and you've found it cheaper elsewhere within Greater London (that's an area of 610 square miles - which, by the way, is 600 miles more than John Lewis who are only never knowingly undersold within 3 miles of their store) - we'll try to either match it or beat it.
The rules are simple.
Identical product, offered on identical terms.
We don't mess around trying to compete with web prices of companies who have no overheads, or with Tartan Sofas R Us in Aberdeen - but we strive to be fair and reasonable.
Don't be shy. Just ask.

DANGER!
Don't press this button unless you're Press…… >>>>
Click the little button below to be spun off to our special Press Page, where you'll find info about new products and other 'coming soon' items which you can include in your esteemed publications.
But remember, it only works for genuine members of the press. If you're a regular member of the public, don't cheat and press the button - your hard-drive will be immediately deleted and you'll have to go back to PC World to have it fixed and you know how soul-destroying it was first time round.

Live in Pratt's Bottom where they haven't invented shops yet?

Well, we've tried to make this site friendly, eclectic, unusual and as close as you can get to being in our shop, whilst bearing in mind that you're really just on the interweb.
Start clicking!
Stuff you might need to know is below - and some stuff you don't.
PS. If you hate those stupid, too-clever-by-half websites, with all that irritating animation and 20% loading progress bars - fear not, you're on a website maintained by a bunch of people with a collective IQ well below the average (we don't know how to do the flash stuff) - and an even lower patience threshold - all you need do is click on a picture and it takes you to other pictures (some with writing. Sorry.) and you can just dump them in your basket to buy them. If you get lost and can't find your way back - look to the left or the bottom where we'll keep a constantly updating list of the last 5 items you looked at.

Important - Read this before scrolling down! From 1st July it will be illegal to view our website whilst smoking, even if you're doing so from the privacy of your own home. Bizarre, we know. However, there is an even more bizarre EU caveat to the new law - if you glue a 'No Smoking' sign to the left side of your keyboard, you may smoke low tar cigarettes on weekdays after 9am and before 5pm. In order to help you comply, we've just bought all of the old No Smoking signs from London Underground's Tube system - vintage enamel tin signs with character - for only £4.95 - click here and go legal.

Or the nicest selection of good quality, traditional toys you're likely to find in London?
Bored with the website already - what about flippin' bendy-buses then, eh? Don't get me started. Unless you want to get me started, in which case, click on the stupid bendy-bus picture below. PS. Who said in 2001, four years before getting rid of them, 'Only some ghastly, dehumanised moron would want to get rid of the routemaster?' Yep, you guessed it, our ex-Lord Mayor Livingstone. Did you know (why would you?) that bendy buses are actually half a metre longer than the whole of our Islington shop - and we've just put an extension on the back of it. Dangerously large? Unsuitable for London streets? I think so. Not our shop, the bendy buses. So will our new foppish Mayor Boris right this monstrous wrong and scrap them as he promised? Watch this space.
