Hatch End - old and new shops - Oxfam has gone - where next for a bargain buy?

Alas Oxfam in Hatch End is no more. It closed Saturday Feb 21 2015. Why? I thought it might be a rental increase, but rumour says that although the prices had gone up, despite or because the profits had gone up, the profits had gone down. I don't like repeating rumours. I shall miss the shop.


A sign above says To Let. So what will open next?

Bargains and Charity Shops Elsewhere
If you are looking for a charity shop, to donate goods or to buy, try Pinner, which has two or three. Or Stanmore which has one. Harrow has at least one, so does Watford.

Too far to travel? Charities have their own websites. Some of them advertise clothes on Ebay.

If you are simply looking for cut price clothes, try Primark in Harrow. Harrow has a Poundland - even sandwiches for £1.

Back To Hatch End
If you are forced to go through your wardrobe, and try to get those too small, too large, or out of date clothes to fit, in the same parade in Hatch End is the alterations shop.

More Shops In Hatch End
What other shopping opportunities nearby? Tesco nearby has Easter eggs out and after Easter you'll probably see some bargains. Morrisons has a few items such as kitchenware in its Value range.

Impeccable has five waistcoats for £10. Wedding season will soon be here. If you are not going to a wedding, who needs a waistcoat? You could cover that shirt or blouse which won't meet in the middle, or conceal a stain. Or simply add a touch of sheen and gold to look smart.
339 Uxbridge Road, Hatch End, Middx HA5 4JN, tel:020 8421 1111. They have another branch in Weybridge, Surrey.
