Those prices should have guaranteed that Kerry Catona at least turned up seeing as she was booked.

FYI, Oliver Boner is part-owned by Iceland hence the off-liste celeb sharing.


I might have got the wrong end of a fabulous yet useless stick on this but shall persist.

I for one must disagree. overpriced is not exactly the word i would use. i find it no different then any other retailer on our high street and please don't disagree i shop all of the time in ED. I think it adds one more option for us to spoil ourselves, friends and family. Good for OB! finally a London born privately owned shop that has proven their success.


As for miserable staff - sorry you thought so. I work in Islington and go to the shop there on a regular basis and have been met by bright smiles, a fun atmosphere and great help. I ventured into the ED shop on the weekend to be nosy and found it much the same everyone seemed to be having a good time in a packed out shop.


I don't understand why people on here are always so negative. something good comes to town takes a chance on the market and more than likely will succeed.


before you ask...no i don't work there...


See you at Cafe Nero... if you can find a seat cause it is so busy all the time.

    • Thanks penguin  always wondered about that place and that’s way more info than I ever thought I would get  (used to live above a gun nut on friern road - he would tell me nothing)
    • There was a Saturday afternoon crowd of enthusiasts, and at other times the owner might have been off acquiring stock. He also repaired air guns, which he also sold. He stocked edged weapons, uniforms, including antique uniforms, air guns and ammo and starting pistols and shot. Some medals and other militaria. Quite a lot of ex service chit chat on a Saturday. I had an amateur interest, didn't deal a lot, in English pattern swords and other mainly 19th century militaria. And made some good purchases there. I'm afraid WWII and later events was the major focus of most of the regulars. 
    • Did anyone actually venture in to that place? I recall it always being closed/very uninviting!
    • Perry Bamonte from The Cure.. Just 65 years old.
