My cousin (age 22) has recently arrived in London from Mauritius. Being a Londoner all my life, I’m so used to seeing and experiencing London everyday, I suppose I take it all for granted. What cool places can I take her that aren’t too expensive? She’s done the National Gallery, Trafalgar Squar...

I need to refresh my wardrobe but not in an airwick kind of way. What I need is new clothes. Shirts, jeans, a jacket, some shoes. Trouble is, I hate shopping. I can’t stand cramped shops and intimidating, pushy sales staff. I also don’t go a bundle on brand names, surf gear or stuff with writing on it es...

No, this isn’t a reference to that dodgy late night Channel 4 programme of yesteryear, but a enquiry about a good, nay, the best, place in London to buy a bonsai tree. Ideally I’d like somewhere that knows what they’re talking about, but not so haughty that they won’t be willing to pass on so...

I hate Halfords for being incompetant and always ignoring me whenever I go in there. And I hate Tescos for overpowering the UK with their enormous sprawling shops and dodgy food (did anyone see Whistle Blower the other night? Disgusting!) I also hate French Connection for being stupidly expensive and thinking that...

I’m looking mainly for women’s clothes. Not so bothered about whether or not they have homewares. Anyone have a view on which is the best? My nearest one is probably Wood Green, and Leyton is easy enough to get to, but I’m willing to travel a bit more if anyone knows of one that’s particularl...

Can anyone recommend good second hand clothes shops for women? I’m fond of Seconda Mano on Upper Street, since they stock good quality items (good condition, only a season or two old, some designer ware) for decent prices. I’m not as fond of charity shop stuff since it’s more often tat inside than...

When I was a gal our milk came from the milkman and my mum put a note out every night telling the milkman how much we’d like the next morning. Better – once a month the friendly milkman would come round and settle the bill, having a nice chat whilst he was at it. I like this idea. I’m often too la...

If you were a 26-year-old philosopher living in the US midwest, whose hobbies include watching (English) football, travel and amateur computer maintenance, what would you want for your birthday? I’d like to get him something he can’t get in the states, possibly something a bit ‘London’ sin...

Is there a standard practice for how change should be given to a customer? The most common way I experience is notes followed by coins, which I find a terrible fiddle as the notes frequently siphon coins in the wrong direction. On occasion a nice person will hand over the coins first… Your experiences?

I’m not currently living in London at the moment (sobs hysterically), having taken temporary exile in the provinces. Today I was wandering around my local town centre, in my lunch break, with a view to spending a bit of my hard earned cash on something nice. ‘A new book!’ I thought to myself. That’s what I wan...

I work somewhere where we have a lot of Vietnamese people coming over to stay for a few weeks/months and they always ask where are the best places to shop in London for Vietnamese food etc (not including dog). Does anybody have recommendations?

I’ve just noticed their adverts on here and their sheer nerve is both appalling and awe-inspiring. Picture the scene at their Cheshunt HQ: “OK, so we’re still doing well flogging people the pies and lard. However, they’re getting so fat that they can’t waddle to our shops without ...

And I mean, who has a wide selection but excellent staff who take one look at you and know what will suit you and let you try on about 15 pairs without making you feel like a bulging, stupid, sweaty child until you suddenly sink into a special pair and simulataneously feel comfy and sexy and supersonic? Dang the pri...

Another chain moves into Camden. Soon there won’t be a joss stick left. What does the future hold for Camden Town? Does anybody still enjoy going there for anything other than a gig at Koko, Winehouse watching or to buy those enormous cyber goth trainers?

The Regent Street Festival: A Great British Experience claims to be one of the biggest, free, outdoor events in London’s calendar. Regent Street will be closed to traffic from 12 noon to 8pm, September 7 2008, to make room for marching bands, fanfare trumpeters, (let’s hope they don’t mean this) pipe bands, live music, dance performances, a veteran car display and gourmet food stalls…marvellous!
