Sh! reviews
Lovely shop with a great range of products and very helpful staff. So refreshing to visit an adult shop that is classy and professional.
by sullivaz, 17 Mar 2008Went last Sunday with BF. Was brilliant - the shop is lovely and so were the staff, if a little slow (due to training). Felt very relaxing and there's a really good range of stuff. Would definitely go there again.
by madmadmaddy, 30 Jan 2008I used to go to Toys in Babeland in NYC and heard this was similar. Sadly, it is not. Staff were indifferent, merchandise was all giant dildos (not what straight girls are after) and the selection was very poor. Thanks but no thanks.
by bubblesdevere, 05 Jan 2008Went on my own. It was lovely, staff very friendly and no pressure to buy. Also the fact that no guys were wandering around made it a very positive experience for this middle-aged woman.
by coggers94, 20 Dec 2007This shop is great. It sells really fab lingerie, sex toys, books, tons of bits and pieces that make perfect gifts. I used to live in Hoxton, so I'd quite often wander past here. The shop gals are super friendly, and always offer a cup of tea. No pervy blokes too, which is great. One of my favourite shops in London.
by LorraineHoxton (6 reviews), 14 Dec 2007A great store ruined only by the presence of fag hags with giggly queens and straight birds with their boyfriends.
by spikeyd, 01 Dec 2007Totally the best. In fact it just got rated No 1 Best Sex Shop in London by the London Paper so it's official!
by swalters, 11 Jul 2007A lovely little place I stumbled across with the most amazing array of toys! Wonderful staff who didn't make me feel embarrassed, just helped me out and were very knowledgeable. A must when you're in Shoreditch.
by kmg, 21 Apr 2006Brilliant place, staff really caring and knowledgeable, know when to leave you to browse (they even give you a cuppa!), and when to offer advice.
Great range of toys not just the chi-chi type. Dunno what last reviewer on about, this is the most female-friendly place to buy toys in London, especially if you're shy, windows covered in pink film, staff all women, customers mostly women and there's a pink beaded curtain up at the door!
Sh! is by far the best of London sex shops-loads more relaxed and welcoming than the shops in Soho or Covent Garden. More choice, nicer staff, lower prices! It still has a cosy feel even after extending shop floor area and I've always come away pleased with my purchase.
by lizziej, 22 Mar 2006I went to Sh! for the first time probably about 10 years ago(!) and I returned last week (actually this site reminded me the fab place was there).
I found the staff just as friendly and welcoming as I'd remembered - in fact they probably seemed more knowledgeable and the coffee was better (it used to be instant in those days - now it's filter!).
I've travelled all over the world and I've never been to a shop that is so welcoming, cosy, lovely - just totally brilliant. I spent a few hours there browsing and nobody tutted once! It's my favourite shop and I am SO glad that I rediscovered it (so is my boyfriend!).
I used to go in Sh! now and again and remember it being a cozy, amusing, friendly place. Last week I went in for the first time in a long time. They have reorganised it and leave the door wide open so that almost the whole interior is visible from the street - passing workmen, media types, students, etc, etc. This hardly encourages anyone but the most exhibitionist types to spend any time looking closely at the type of product they stock! Not an improvement!
