Hobbycraft Greenwich

I went for yarn, there was a range of yarn colours and sizes, I wish if the smaller bundles of yarn were available in larger sizes, some of the small ones were lovely colours.

Good range of items. From fabric and wools to pens, art pads, paints and crafting for all manner of hobbyists.

I had a browse while my wife looked. My focus was on the model kits. Strangely, ww2 German militaria was few and far between. Building a vw camper van doesn't fill me with any degree of interest - and it would look out of place on an Eastern front diorama, even if it was made in Germany and had the relevant camouflage used during that epic campaign.

So many crafts options to pick from.I bought trimmings for cloth embellishment and some fennel buttons, oh they were so lovely

You can find all kinds of big and small colorful hobby materials.

I’m a jewellery designer that recently moved to London from the states. I came here looking for a few simple “craft” needs for an upcoming pop-up. I was made to feel incredibly uncomfortable by the security guard who followed me up and down every single aisle. There were plenty of other people in the store but he singled me out. The store had nothing I needed so I eventually left. Upon checking out a neighboring business the guard followed me over where he informed their security to check my bag. I was grabbed by the arm and had my bag searched through in front of the store. I see this type of security in most places I’ve shopped here and I’m always carrying a bag. Not once has anywhere else treated me like this. I had an awful experience here and will never be back. Additionally the selection is quite limited and prices seemed high. I wouldn’t recommend any artists shop here either!!

You can get some good stuff in here but feel they would sell more if their prices weren't so expensive. You can buy most of the stuff online for cheaper. Although it has the benefit of being able to see it all in one place.

Came in to find some baking ingredients on the weekend. Staff were unhelpful and the security guard seemed over zealous. Luckily a quick Google search showed Sainsbury’s just behind had better pricing on what I needed so left the store.

Product selection is good, could have done with more staff on the tills especially as its Christmas

A place where you can find rare gems at a reasonable price. Their wool selection is awesome. All the staff are wonderful and no request is too much for them. The temptation is too great to spend hours in there because of the selection that's on offer. I'm looking forward to going back there when I'm in the area.
