My colleagues take the mick out of me for going here so much but it's a really good store for all things housey - cleaning products, hardware, tools, ironing boards, bins, cables, plugs everything. In the middle of winter i needed some of those blue blocks you put int he freezer then in cool bags for picnics and although they didn't have any out, they went and got some from out back for me. Wonderful.

What a place. This is like Aladdins cave for the home owner. From saucepans to screws, from lighbulbs to garden seed. Amazing! Anything you need for the home is in there! In theory the store should be massive but it isn't. Staff are always there to help the less experienced DIY person.

Is it wrong to love Robert Dyas?
This shop seems to have everything - from cups to lightbulbs, from fancy dusters to fancy blenders, from picture frames to pestle and mortars. This place has the biggest selection of hooks I've ever seen!!
Ok, so it's not rocket science. It's a hardwear store. But it just seems to have everything you need for the household and I thoroughly enjoy going in there as it has everything. And I always come out with something else which I didn't realise I needed.
This Robert Dyas is right near Leicester Square and not where you would expect a shop like this, but it's really handy for this area. It's not terribly expensive and they have lots of special offers.
The only thing they don't have is sewing kits for an emergency....mental.
