Les Couilles du Chiens and Ollie

You’d be forgiven for thinking that either of these places are cheap, as everything, be it animal trophies, Victorian taxidermy, bevelled antique mirrors, old school science lab work benches, old poison bottles, old fashioned wooden clothes mannequins or stacks of rusty tins are just casually thrown in. Well they are but I imagine that’s because there is a fast turn over and well frankly it’s Notting Hill so over-priced shabby chic is the general theme. They’re not intimidating as the cockney men who run them are funny and love to chat and there aren’t many places left in London where they still call you ’govner. Nothing is outrageously priced and you’ll always find something affordable, perhaps one of those little French cafe chairs or a 60’s lamp either way they are great places to look around.
