Millets

Tucked away at the Ladywell end of Lewisham High Street, this relatively spacious branch of Milletts is surprisingly well-​stocked. I wanted a fairly high end tent and two season sleeping bag, and thought I would be at best ordering in and waiting for delivery, but I actually left the shop with what I wanted.
Or at least I did after the second visit. Don’t go there on a Saturday, where the staff are clearly local scouts, and keen to tell you all about the more manly, dangerous, and bloodthirsty elements of their camping exploits. Nice if you’re bloodthirsty and want a story of when so and so fell off a rock, but not so good if you just want to shop.
Particularly impressive is the range of camping odds and ends, which is what the Lewisham branch appears to specialise in.
