Just popped in to the Boden shop in London

And apart from it being location is one of the most inconvenient places possible, it was fab!

It was really strange to see all of the things from the catalogue in a real shop. Everything was laid out really nice and it was easier to put things together than when you order on the internet. I would recommend it to anyone who is unsure of colours, because they are never the same as the book/internet. I was actually really shocked how different some of the items looked irl.

Heard a rumour that there will be more Boden shops coming, so that will be helpful. It was a bit anoying that you cannot do internet exchanges at the shop. They send it back for you, but if you want to exchange with anything in the shop, you have to buy the item and wait for a return. And you cannot reserve stock at the shop (or even ring the shop!), you have the order it over the phone, pay and then pick it up. Stupid idea! Seems like they are a bit too interested in getting the money first.

Fab, isn't it? And were the ladies lovely to you?

I always meant to go there when I lived in W London but never did as it was pesky to get to even being relatively near ! would be really handy to try stuff in shops and see what they look like in RL...

And yes MAS, it is a real pain to get to, even if you know where you are going.

I think I'd've had to go around Hanger Lane gyratory as I used to for IKEA which is horrible.

Walton on Thames shop is nicer.
Mind you when I saw the clothes in RL it put me right off.
