😠 I do not recommend this shop for young women shopping on their own. My partner was grabbed on the cheek whilst being told she had a beautiful face and was offered hugs from the shopkeeper. When paying she was repeatedly asked if she had a boyfriend. It is completely inappropriate and made my partner... People often mention shop, jackets, owner, nice, staff,

    I do not recommend this shop for young women shopping on their own. My partner was grabbed on the cheek whilst being told she had a beautiful face and was offered hugs from the shopkeeper. When paying she was repeatedly asked if she had a boyfriend. It is completely inappropriate and made my partner feel very uncomfortable. For clarification, this is the 'Blue Door' shop which sells hats and jackets not souvenir paraphernalia. This happened on 2 separate occasions.

    A boutique that should be avoided. No prices are on display, you’re being charged based on your looks, outfit and above all nationality. If you try to negotiate the shop owner says you’re from this country why can’t you pay. As a bonus he is a misogynist sexist who enjoys in harassment. While I was trying on my jacket he approached without asking for permission to close one of the jackets buttons while doing this he is asking are you married?? Extremely uncomfortable, no piece of garment is worth your self esteem. Walk 2 minutes there is a another shop with FIXED prices, beautiful merchandise and very respectable shop keepers.

    Honestly not a great experience. The only person who can determine the price is the owner because he judges based on your looks “for you it’s….” The area is also a mess and shop is tiny which makes the whole experience not pleasant. The other shop up the road has better communication, customer service and more affordable!

    A guy who must be either the manager or owner shouted at my son and his friends when they were simply outside the shop by the items as they were looking for directions to their destination. he made them upset.if you dont want people near your items outside don't shout at them. unacceptable.

    Horrible experience shopping here. The man working there made me and my friends really uncomfortable, calling them beautiful and making one of them take a picture with him with his arms around her. I also felt very unwelcome and judged, whilst he was being nice to my (white) friends (I am not white), he stared at me as if I was ugly vermin in his store and asked rudely 'are you ok?'. The items are nice but because of the man who works in the store, I would never ever come here again. Very weird, very uncomfortable, and I felt extremely judged for how I look. Truly ruined my day

    Staff pretty rude. In 2019, era of Social Media and marketing online, if they don’t understand that a picture or a video is FREE advertising that can reach thousands of people, maybe they should rethink about their way of doing business. I was about to buy a plate and put in my travel blog and instagram page (with almost 20.000 followers), but after the abrupt reprimand of the lady, because I was filming with my GoPro, I just decided to do not and go away. What a pity!

    Traumatic experience, if I could I would choose 0 stars! Never shop here, on Sunday pm the older staff member treated the customer before me in a rude way. I still gave it a chance, tried some stuff on which did not fit me. In the end the staff asked to check inside my coat and jumper to make sure I was not stealing which was very unpleasant. About 15 mins after, I walked a few minutes up the road and the exact same clothes were being sold for much cheaper and the same rude staff member was at this second shop, except, that the price for the same item was £15 cheaper. An absolute scam these group of shops are, watch out for them! Not only they scam you but staff treat you horribly!

    Specifically wanted to visit this store because 1) the name and 2) I saw it on tiktok. Went in to get a quilt jacket and tried on about 100. Then fell in love with a stunning silk velvet jacket. The guys in the store were very helpful and the owner gave me a great deal. I can’t wait to wear this statement piece!

    My wife went in and literally never left until she reappeared with a bag full of shopping. She said she got what she wanted and at a discount. The lady serving inside was patient and friendly. A pretty little shop

    Ist im Original kein Buchladen, sondern Touristengeschäft. Aber ich kann zumindest sagen, wir waren im berühmten Buchladen in Notting Hill. (Translated by Google) Is not a book shop in the original, but a tourist shop. But at least I can say we went to the famous bookshop in Notting Hill.

    (Translated by Google) Very nice souvenir shop, wide variety of objects of all prices, very beautiful ceramics, plates, cups and teapots for fans of the genre. The owner Giuseppe, Neapolitan for several years in London, very nice and true merchant. In Toto's words "traders are born... you don't become!" We will be back on a next trip to London. (Original) Negozio di souvenirs molto carino , vasta varieta' di oggetti di tutti i prezzi, molto belle le ceramiche piatti, tazze e teiere per gli appassionati del genere. Il proprietario Giuseppe , napoletano da vari anni a londra, simpaticissimo e vero commerciante. Per dirla alla Toto' " commercianti si nasce... non si diventa !" Torneremo in un prossimo viaggio a Londra.

👍👍 Awesome experience. The boutiques within are obviously high-end designer items, but the overall experience is lovely. Everyone is really nice and the food hall is SO COOL. Definitely hop in for a snack or a drink at the very least.
