It was a fantastic experience both times with Sunny being extreemly supportive and helpful. He is very welcoming and funny! Great professional learning environment for beginners and experienced tattooist/piercer full of knowledge and tips. I Can't recommend doing these courses enough. Worth every penny xx”

Great service, better cut and straight up good vibes. Come down to artsandcuts and see for yourself.”

“Been going here for over 10 years since the kids were toddlers, even though we live further now. There are other pottery painting places in our area but we all love going to Hands-on Art. The owner is always so welcoming and she and her staff are always helpful and encouraging to the young artists that visit there. Would definitely recommend.”

“Great place to entertain the children & staff really friendly”

“Never usually leave a review for places but my partner and I were so surprised by the really genuine and lovely customer service we received today. Alot of London shops have quite an upturned nose attitude at times, however tatty devine were absolutely lovely! Thanks for a memorable service, and what beautiful jewellery you sell too! In love with my necklace.”

“My friend said the flowers were absolutely beautiful. Site really easy to use thank you”

“I came in for a change of jewellery as two of my piercings were constantly irritated and very unhappy. I was so embarrassed to see anyone for ages because of their location. Giulia was so amazing and understanding. Made me feel very comfortable, switched my jewellery to the correct size and taught me how to take care of the piercings. I’m so grateful! ❤️❤️”

“Best Panini ever! Service is great as well. Try the freshly squeezed juices they are very tasy. Best price for a coffee in Bricklane area.”

“Beautifully curated, a lovely selection of woollens and other high quality stuff made of natural materials. Kind and knowledgeable staff, got our toddler fitted for her first shoes! Very happy we found this place.”

“The best cafe ever, doesn't need a sign out front to keep you wanting to come back for more. Been eating there for years and the Paninis are world class!”

“Great flower market, however it gets very busy and crowded, which some may not like. Fantastic options for coffee and breakfast, but no seating places and the queues are long. I loved it and will visit again.”

“Second visit here and the pizza needless to say is superlative. 8 cheese pizza and macaroni deep fried balls were amazing. The Ichnuso unfiltered beer was pretty good too.”

“Went here for the first time with a group of friends and we had an amazing experience. Our server Alesia, was the kindest person I've ever met. Amazing service, gave us recommendations and was able to alter items on the menu to accommodate our dietary needs.”

“Lovely park. Full of old gravestone, which I like. Dogs are welcome, but also a fenced off area where dogs aren't allowed. This dog-free area includes a small fenced-in playground. Small café has just reopened after being closed by Covid. It's no comparison to Greenwich park, but nice to have on the East side of Greenwich. There are no public toilets however.”

“Fast and good customer services, also refund purchase with no question asked.”

“Had a lot of work done here, from nipple piercing to getting my arm sleeved (now onto my second arm)...very good value for money and excellent artwork....very nice people, wouldn't go anywhere else for a tattoo now I've been here!”

“Lovely local cafe, the best in West London. Great staff team and delicious sandwiches and cakes. Highly recommend!”

“I have had a 1-on-1 sewing session with Linda, and she was so knowledgeable with her craft. She even accommodated me when I had an emergency at home. They were very helpful.”

“Always a great service! Weve been using the Loft Shop for 25 years and wouldnt go anywhere else.”

“Always the most wonderful experience shopping with Roxanne First! Rocky and her team are an absolute pleasure to deal with, they are always so accommodating and turn things around for you whenever you need them. All the jewellery is flawless and arrives in the most beautiful packaging, her velvet jewellery boxes are stunning. Roxanne First will always be my go to for both myself and gifts. Thank you RF team!”

“Great food, friendly staff and a decent variety on offer. Got a table in the corridor and the place got busy, quickly I ran out space to move and gave up ordering desert and decided to leave. Next time I will insist on a table by the window or wall. Other than that very happy with the place.”
