Straight to the point. One of the best hardware shops I've ever been to. Don't know the proper name of the item you're looking for? Your vague descriptions and gestures are enough for them to find you exactly what you are looking for. They know their stuff! The team are helpful, not pushy. They're friendly, not dismissive. I've visited at least 6 times in the last 2 months (sometimes twice a day!) and every time I'm more and more impressed by their enormous range of stock. Go see for yourself. What are you waiting for?

  • Bala Kingston

This is honestly one of the best hardware stores and groups of people around. You will not be disappointed by the service if you visit. I could not recommend enough, please check these guys out if you are in need of anything! They also fill the void that Maplin once provided, so if you need any electrical items or supplies I'm sure you can find a solution here! Knowledgable and understanding group of guys, thank you very much for all your help so far 5/5

The shop owner (I believe he was the owner) was extremely helpful to this American traveling abroad. My laptop charger fried & he got me a universal charger, found the connector piece I needed & even secured it with Electrical tape to insure I didn't lose it or take it off. He went well beyond expectations & I truly appreciate his help!!! I highly recommend this little shop for anyone seeking a knowledgeable DIY shop.

  • Jason Piper

Needed a pair of keys cutting for a 60 year old sports car. National chain quoted £20 per blank & two weeks delivery - the guys at W1 hardware found the right blanks from their collection & ran up the set within minutes, along with a promise to recut if any issues (as the locks & originals were old and worn). Needless to say, the keys both work perfectly, and for a fraction the price of the chain.

  • Steve Brown

Amazing place. They have everything! And they are so helpful. The shop is like a Tardis. Somehow they managed to fit an entire B&Q inside two floors near Oxford Circus. Big basement downstairs with a wide selection of paints. Key cutting. Tools. Wood. Zillions of bulbs. Mouse traps. Hooks. Pencils. Cleaning products. Glue. Everything! Highly recommended.

I have been shopping from this hardware shop for many years. The service I receive from Siamand each time. I come here is beyond words. Siamand knows everything and the prices are reasonable for Central London. I would recommend this hardware shop to everyone.

The BEST diy shop in all of London. Working on multiple jobs around London, this shop always has what you looking for and if not they go out of their way to find it for you from near by. Friendly staff and always willing to help. Keep up the good work!
