I was very excited to discover this shop when I moved into the neighbourhood a few years ago. It's hard to find shops of this kind anywhere nowadays, and it's just not possible to buy a lot of this stuff online, nor do I want to. A visit today reminded me why I never go there, though. In short, the atmosphere is so tense you need a very sharp knife to cut through it, and it seems to emanate from the miserable woman who runs it. She is unwelcoming, inflexible and seems unhappy. Since I was last there, the shop has been festooned with warnings and 'polite notices'. Fine to ask people not to eat or drink, and not to use their phones while paying or dealing with staff. But 'no mobile phone conversations'? Give me a break. The unpleasantness really is a shame as I value local shops, especially specialist ones, and I'm happy to put my money where my mouth is. But I'm not happy to be treated with hostility and rudeness.

Excellent shop and service. The lady in the shop is happy to leave people to browse. Very helpful with any questions. I have never seen so many different threads and choices. Thank you.

Just discovered this bead shop. Absolutely fantastic as I have been looking for such a shop where I can get all my craft items. .from bead jewellery wires cords and threads..it's a large shop inside and staff seem very friendly. Similar shops used to be in Covent Garden and Croydon. Bit they closed years ago. So this is a brilliant find.. right opposite Kentish town station.

This shop is a treasure to the local community. Alex the owner is so selfless - she even set up a stall at Christmas to aid a local charity and sat there in the cold for 8 hours and made nothing from it. She is always on hand with advice and is so helpful when needed - keep up the fantastic work 😊

Great 'little' shop. Such a wide variety of 'stuff'! I recently needed to replace a lost Svarovsky bead on some earings. Unfortunately, they did not have the exact size to match the one on the other side. So I had to replace both and the owner/manageress took the time to remake both earrings for including replacing the original wire.
