Unique gifts in Kingston Upon Thames

“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.”

“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!”

“I always come to this salon if I want a pedicure. Compared to other places, the price is reasonable and the service is good. They do get busy (as they are popular) so I always try to book now. There is a good range of nail colours and the ladies who have done my pedicures have always been thorough and done a great job. I go for gel polish and find it lasts me well. I would recommend a pedicure here. The staff are always polite and helpful.”

“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.”

“Great service, the only problem with this place is that we always end up leaving with more than we intended!”

“Good patience & professional advice from sales lady Djamila. I've problems finding shoes that fit due to the shapes of my feet, but am happy to have found what I needed at this shop.”

“Lovely place couldn't get what I wanted as there was a,queue which I understand but I had ran out of time no worries as I will be going back again soon.”

“Starter was great and drinks were strong and tasty but mains were disappointing, all served with chips instead of the accompaniments they were meant to be. Fast service”

“Finally a little Italy in Kingston, vintage and beautiful design, the staff is friendly and professional. They make fresh pasta, cannoli, croissant and much more with amazing taste! You all must try the kimbo coffee! I love it, very good guys!!”

“Beautiful crystals and jewellery, top quality for such an amazing prices! Way better than any wholesalers, curated with love and passion! Highly recommend!”

“This is a wonderful place to buy excellent wine, beer and spirits with plenty of advice available. Just explain what you like, or going to eat and your price range and you will not be disappointed. The bread is superb and the cheese range is broad and varied, also very bad news to anyone on a diet. To go with the cheese is an excellent selection of biscuits, and I find that they are constantly reviewing the stock so there is always something new to try along with the old favorites. The staff led by Charlotte are delightful and there are lots of great present ideas for wine enthusiasts. This is a real foodie hub in Kingston and the shop has the most wonderful welcoming feel.”

“We ordered our wedding cake and it was delicious!!!! Everyone enjoyed it. Good price and service! Simona was really nice. I totally recommend!”

“Such a hidden gem, really nice Portuguese cafe. We tried the natas, pistachio cake with coffees, flavoursome and very fresh, cake especially soft and delicious, well worth a stroll off the high street.”

“My son had his birthday party there recently, and he had a blast with his friends. The shop was clean and well managed. The owners were very nice and friendly, the bubble tea was delicious too, there are other fizzy drinks too for the gamers. If you loves bubble tea and video games, this is definitely the place for you. I wish there were more clubs like it, great trend!!!”

“Beautiful little coffee house that clearly takes flavour and service dead seriously! The seating area is so pretty and the staff seem really nice!”

“The quality of coffee is exceptional with coffee from around the world. One of the few places that do drip coffee also. Worth a visit!”

“I have been going to Mikado since I moved to the area 4 years ago! Joseph is an amazing stylist and always gets my cut and style spot on. I highly recommend Mikado!”

“Great food and service. We tried lamb tashreeb and Iraqi special kebab. Both tasted good and flavourful. They also give a lentil soup as a complementary which itself is delicious. Liked their ayran also, which was made in-house.”

“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.”

“Delicious coffee, delicious bread. It's a friendly dog cafe. Friendly dog cafes often smell like in-store. Fika is very clean.”

“I was recently searching for a quiet and cosy coffee shop to study in and came across this one. It did not disappoint. The lovely barista (Jazz) has offered great service both times I have been there. I am definitely going to be a regular from now. Today she was so sweet and even let me stay an extra 15 minutes after closing time after I told her I have a very important zoom meeting that I could not miss. Coffee is amazing, best vanilla lattes in Kingston, and the selection of pastries does not disappoint. Highly recommend! ;)”

“The staff at coombe hill pharmacy are always accommodating and polite. They sort my dad's prescription efficiently and in a timely manner so its always ready when I come to pick it up. They are a lovely bunch and such a vital part of the community! Thank you for your service in these times when we need it the most!!”

“Very tasteful food, good size, affordable prices, nice service.”

“Sara was so helpful at the changing cabins. She was running around for everyone in the cabins. Great jolly lady.”

“Amazing store. Amazing location. I extremely loved the team members availability and care. Best customer service in Kingston! I really recommend to walk in and enjoy products, people and environment. Well done to all of you!”

“Well done guys for your GREAT A2Z service. Love my dining set. Great quality,quick delivery and assembly. Thanks to Mr Dino for his assistance all the way through. You’ll be recommended to all my friends and family.”

“Sorry no more stars I can give you! I had a lovely time with Rania such a wonderful women with a lot of experience. I always look forward to come back for next treatment. Rania made me feel comfortable the entire time, she always explained everything that she did and why. I have had Facial treatments and waxing done by her, she is amazing at what she does, she listens to your concerns before you start and then she works out a plan of action to get the best results for you. Highly recommended”

“There was a delivery delay for an item I ordered into the store, but when I came in the team went above and beyond to help me. The manager and another employee were super sweet and found the last pair they had in stock of the earrings I needed. It was really kind of them to help and I will be returning to the kingston branch next time I shop at Swarovski!”

“The finest shisha lounge around filled with excellent customer service including top quality shisha flavours and pipes. The new refurb is top quality as well as the food produced by top quality chefs. I definitely reccomend this place for anyone.”
