Hobbs

A great place — staff is very friendly and helpful (recently they helped me to order a piece of clothing which was not available in my size, and which was not available online, it was quickly delivered from a different shop). And they give you a lovely little free birthday gift if you register for their loyalty program!

The Hobbs store at Canary Wharf, next to Top Shop, and before the general mêlée of more chain store clothing retailers further down the Canada Place strip, is a relative haven of grown up peace and tranquility.
Spacious, well lit, clean and tidy, with polite and friendly sales staff (apart from one recent addition, who really needs to learn that no thanks, I’m just looking means I’ve come in here to look in peace and quiet, don’t keep pestering me), this is possibly one of my favourite shops in the complex. I’m a particular fan of the recent season jewel bright wool jackets (which for their quality are exceptionally good value), and the perennial Hobbs suede ballerina pumps, available in a wide range of colours.
I can’t help feeling that the Hobbs store would be better placed on the posh side (i.e. Jubilee Place), but their ability to stock a good capsule range of the current collection means that you might prefer to whizz out to Canary Wharf rather than into town. A more pleasant shopping experience.
