Bought a wardrobe for my son. When they arrived it was evident it was too big to get into small hallway. They dismantled it and put it back together in the place it had to go. Above and beyond service. So much so I dropped them beers in to say Thankyou.

One of my absolute favourite shops, I often go in to browse their Aladdins Cave of wonders and rarely leave empty handed. Staff are always helpful.

I just want to say a huge thank you to the Les & Garys team for their hard work clearing my late fathers house. They were so helpful, thoughtful and did a brilliant job for a very reasonable price. We are so pleased to hear that several items have found a new home, particularly the Tardis that our Dad made now being on display in the shop. He made it for us as kids and we always hoped it could live on in a nice new home. Thank you all so much for everything.

From grabbing essentials, such as sofa set bits and kitchen ware, in the lean times (old store), to browsing the amply stocked media shelves for sound rarities (in the NG), L&GS is an enterprise I view as an asset. I sell my redundant furniture, I'm put into rewind, its a historical trip you'll find - no matter how well fixed you believe you are. The current amusing Lockdown shop front is often even a sight to behold in passing. L&G is literally five, particularly for green folk and the budget-conscious.
