Lovely staff that’s alway doing everything they can to help you and make your day brighter.
Plus a brilliant place to find presents for pretty much everyone. And they currently have the cutest mini-​biscuit tins, in case you’re as obsessed as I am…
A real Joy!

I’ve been a fan of Joy for a while, I especially found it refreshing at this particular store that the staff were so friendly and helpful.
They sell the usual (Clothes) it is a clothes store ;) but they do have other cutesy stuff for the house, along with quirky books e.g. toilets from around the world lol
It’s one of the smaller stores, so it does get cramped very quickly, but on the whole it’s a great store that hasn’t got too mainstream yet.

Joy to the world!
Great chain shop — very like Oliver Bonas. Great clothes, books, bits and bobs, shoes, bags and cards! I luv their card selection!
Great stuff altogether!

Um, I LOVE Joy.
This isn’t the biggest location (Soho is has a bit more stock, I think), but it is convenient (a little too convenient). I have to disagree with Lizzie G. for once, as I don’t think they are cheaply made, I’ve had some of my stuff from here for a while now, and it has held together nicely and has never felt like it was going to fall apart or anything.
They have their own clothing like, Louche, plus they sell other brands.
If I had to compare it to something American, it would be Urban Outfitters, but a bit softer (perhaps with some Anthro thrown in), but less ££ than both of those. Your average dress in Joy will cost you under £50, I think that is pretty good.

I’ve been in this shop about 6 or 8 times and every time I walk out empty handed, asking myself ‘why did I go in there again?’
I’ll tell you why. They have very good window displays and make their clothing look higher quality from a distance. Then you walk in and pick up a dress that’s probably made by a six year old in Bangladesh and they’re charging £95?! I think not!
That said, I still am attracted to a lot of their merchandise and do enjoy thumbing through the racks, but honestly I just can’t swallow the CRAP staff. There’s a whole lot of attitude going on here! No hellos, no pleasantries, just some sideways glances and bitchy upper lips.

Oooo, now don’t hate me but I really like this store! I know I’m being judged as you read this but hey, you know I go drinking in Clapham so it can only get better from there.
This is actually one of about 12 of these shops in and around London. They sell a selection of cheaply made yet expensive clothes and a whole load of tat. Now it’s this tat that I love so much. From spotty fairy cake papers, to jewllery trees, if you are looking for a little stocking filler or secret santa gift then this is the place to go. Some of the silliest stuff that you never even knew you wanted or needed is here, it’s shopping with ease.
So down to the matter of the staff, I was luck enough to pop in while it was quite. The sales lady was very helpful as we chatted about Christmas and gifts and what not and actually I left in a lovely mood. So I like this place, a little bit of a strange shop but ME LIKES.

Bloody hell, I only popped in for a card. Unfortunately, I was then subjected to a 15 minute wait, as someone rather stupidly thought it would be a good idea to only open one cash register on a Saturday in December.
However, just when I thought that my wait was over, as a 2nd register opened, but for ‘cards (payment) only’! I was only buying a card!!! I love the cards in this shop — and the fridge magnets are fabulous. But please, please, please Joy, stop your staff being all tosspots and make them serve their customers! You will NOT get another star from me until you do!
