City shopping in Kingston Upon Thames

“Best haircut I’ve had in probably 25 years. I was visiting from the States and needed a trim prior to a wedding. They are the nicest most professional barbers I’ve ever experienced. Just wished they had them back in the US. Keep up the amazing work guys!”

“Tony the owner has been my barber for 10+years minimum. An outstandingly established barber indeed he is an artist with scissors in hand and will pay close attention to detail that you may not even notice. Once he gets to see you a few times he will master your unique hair and particular style needs. I would go further and say finding the right barber for you goes even beyond getting a hair cut. It's the relationship that matters as well, it's true that being in the chair means being in the care of. And Tony has a special ability notice every single customer and connect with you no matter the walk of life you come from. He is approachable and makes you feel very welcome and at ease to be speak your mind and communicate what you require. If thats not enough heres more: he has another level to his skill which makes him indispensable as a barber: If you have an extra special event or function make him aware and just notice a subtle next level magic touch. Highly Recommend no hesitation”

“Great quality and professional service. Mark went above and beyond to also make my racket look great. Many thanks.”

“After an amazing haircut by John recently in his Kingston shop, I thought I'd pop into his soho venture to pick up some of his grooming products for my boyfriends birthday and it did not disappoint!! This shop is a fab wee find in soho, would definitely recommend taking a jaunt round if you're looking for a unique wee gift or a treat for yourself!”

“I loved it my new haircut. Thank you Rita for my hair transformation. Amazing experience and great service.”

“Great cut by Peshing (apologies if I have the name wrong), nice place, nice barber and good value.”

“A very helpful team who go above and beyond to get materials supplied to site. Especially Darren who answers emails after working hours to get materials on the first lorry out the next morning. They are also very competitively price. Will always recommend.”

“Absolutely loved these rooms. Rob the bank was particularly fantastic. One of my favourite rooms we have ever done and I have lost count how many we have done. Very different and very enjoyable! Would recommend it to all.”

“Dropped in with a Sonder bike maintenance issue and they sorted it out, very friendly and helpful workshop technicians and manager. Have booked in with them for a ride event and looking forward to it!”

“Found Crown Garages by way of recommendation on Next Door when I needed to get my MOT done in the midst of COVID restrictions, and used them again for a battery issue and most recently the first annual service since buying my car second hand. What a gem this place is. Local, so saves me £30 in Uber fees back and forth to a dealership that never picks up the phone or calls you back for any service booking requests - and fantastic service from Barry and Dean. Barry talked me through the next service due and suggested getting that and the MOT sorted at the same time. Highly recommend and will be using them from now on.”

“Excellent been going here for years and will never change, I used to live in the area but moved away and yet every time I need some work done on my car I travel back miles to them as they the only garage I trust , they go out if they’re way too fit you in at a time That suits you , explain and detail all work they going to do and then explain all the work that has been done when you return to collect the car with a full breakdown of the price I have a lot of mileage up myself never mind my car and of all my travels I have never come across any one as good as these guys”

“Amrina was lovely!! She did me and my friends eyebrows (threading and waxing) and we will be coming back again because she’s a legend”

“Went only for a hot towel shave. Was painstakingly meticulous - went above and beyond with nose & eyebrows done too before I’d left. Never too old I guess…A great glow up! Good value too.”

“Simply the best place in SW London for authentic Japanese sushi and sashimi. Have been coming here for 20 years (back in the day when it was called Miura Foods.) Excellent quality fish. Great staff. Open through the majority of our COVID lockdown providing the people of Kingston with delicious Japanese food.”

“Best barber in Kingston. Two lads on the left will give you the freshest trim.”

“Smoked Kai is the best barber and always gives good conversation. Would definitely recommend”

“Such a fast and friendly service! Thank you Kerry for helping me find what I needed and making my experience stress free”

“Great friendly staff and very well stocked store for its size. Huge range of paint colour options at a very reasonable price.”

“Very awesome store with lots of options. Best part was John explaining different products and why people select different things. Excellent environment and awesome, helpful staff (at least when John is there!)”

“This place was great! Authentic German restaurant with nice outlook over the river. Wait staff dressed accordingly and everyone was very welcoming. It’s very meat based (as would be expected) but they have some veggie/vegan options which my friends enjoyed. I had sausages, mash and sauerkraut which was yum! And of course all the beer and wine is German too. Recommend booking ahead as it gets busy - but we were luckily able to get a walk-in on a Saturday night. We were in the smoking area outside but no one was actually smoking. Tables are big and good for groups. Will be back!”

“Great customer service again at Rohan Kingston - the team there are experts and always friendly and helpful. Rohan stuff is such good quality - I love their socks! Thanks for all your help and see you again soon”

“Just wanted to do a shout out to thank you for your excellent service and amazing products. The braai packs are such great value and your biltong and dröe wors are like a little kiss from home. Keep up the good work, you guys rock!”

“Excellent range of products, much better prices than you'll find in other stores, friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended!”

“It's the wife who has the time usually but she recommended this place to me because she has been here a few times and found them approachable, honest and professional not like other in the kingston area. Have to say I do agree, no pressure to buy new tyres told me to look around but found their prices extremely competitive if you do need replacements”

“Exceptional, professional, 5 star service from ServiceMaster. They cleaned a rug which now looks as good as new. Excellent care and attention to get the best result possible. Will definitely use ServiceMaster for other cleaning services.”

“I have bad anxiety and went into Kingston to get a winter coat with my Fiance. It was so busy because of Christmas we went in M and S and John Lewis which where really busy because and couldn’t find anyone to help. We past white stuff and thought we would look around. We met Charlotte who works there. She was lovely and patient. She helped me look and try on coats with no pressure to buy and even suggested there could order a coat if they didn’t have the size. I found a lovely coat and Charlotte said if I changed my mind I could bring it back. I am so happy with my new coat and would definitely go back to that shop. Thank Charlotte.”

“I’am extremely happy with my new kitchen which has exceeded all of my expectations and more of what I wanted my dream kitchen to be. I’ve been waiting a very long time for a new kitchen, designed the way I wanted it. The last time my kitchen was done up, was 25 years ago and was made from a display model on a kitchen showroom that we got cheap. So I had to design it to fit with what we had, which meant I didn’t get the layout I really wanted. Howdens did everything possible to make sure that the kitchen was practical to me and also looked amazing. The very friendly staff at the Kingston depot made the whole process smooth with their knowledge and experience, which I thank them for and can’t recommend them highly enough.”

“Such a handy coffee shop. Doesn't look that special from the outside but very tasty food - paninis, baguettes, jacket potatoes etc. Also delicious baklava as well as freshly baked pastries & bread and a few other things like eggs & flour. Also really friendly owner so I'd recommend this place.”

“Lovely weekend lunch! The menu isn't extensive but there is enough choice and nobody felt they had to compromise. The kids menu was very good, plenty of options to cater for simpler and more adventurous tastes. The triple cooked chips, these days almost a pub cliché, are worthy of a special mention! Clean plates all around. What more can you ask for?”
