Greenwich & Bexley Cottage Hospice Shop

This is my favourite charity shop. The reason for this is because they sell excellent second-​hand furniture at such great prices and they deliver it to your home too. I have found that you have to get in there pretty quickly to reserve furniture items. I bought a really good quality single bed frame and mattress for £30 there and it is a very comfortable bed. They stock some great clothing too. Some of the local shops on the high street donate their unsold clothing here, so you may find (as I have) brand new good quality clothing at cheap prices here!

This really is a lovely charity shop, I have always found the volunteers who give up there time to work there to be very friendly and helpful.
I’ve found more than a few bargains in this shop, and they stock a wide range of goods including bric-​à-​brac, toys, shoes, books, clothes, household wares, and more recently they have started to sell small PAT tested electrical items.
One of the great things about this shop is that they don’t overprice items, recently I have noticed charity shops have been becoming very expensive and sometimes it ends up that you’re better off buying something new in a cheap shop such as Primark than a second hand item. This is not the case in here, items are always very fairly priced.
Look out for the bargain rail which is usually outside the shop when the weather is good enough — it is filled with items of clothing for 75p which have been in the shop for a set period of time — a sort of a clearance rail!

As charity shops go this truly is one of the best. There’s never that old musty smell which you get in some charity shops and the staff are happy and friendly. The prices they set are unbelievably low compared to some other well known charities. You can pick up designer jeans for £3 and designer tops for as little as £2 each. There’s a huge stock of books, dvds, videos etc a large mens clothing and shoes area and lots of toys, gifts and bedding etc. The baby clothes are from as little as 20p per item, I’ve kitted out my wardrobe from this shop. It is so busy and a real community area where people meet and chat and everyone is friendly. All the staff except the manageress are volunteers and it’s for a very worthwhile cause. (the cottage hospice has about 14 shops in total)
