Best value charity shop?

Which is the best value and most comprehensive charity shop in Ealing please? By best value I mean where could I get a good quality tailor made woollen suit on the cheap or which shop is likely to stock designer ladies shoes?

Perhaps you could donate the windfall to charity!!:)

I don't go into charity shops, but recently my wife and I spotted a small vase in the OXFAM shop near the old Town Hall. It was an unmarked Moorcroft vase selling for 50p! We immediately bought it!  As we were in the shop, we had a look around and saw an almost new Tweed jacket, which fitted me exactly - it was a great bargain at £5, so I bought it. My wife spotted some designer shoes(Jimmy Choo, no less) but sadly they were the wrong sizes! We left the OXFAM shop as very happy customers! Hence my curiosity re charity shops - there must be priceless gems in these Ealing shops.PS:  I estimate the Moorcroft vase at circa £50 - £70!

Fara in Bond Street changes stock regularly. A very clean shop nicely arranged.

I think the PDSA in West Ealing is great - as is the Community Shop in Hanwell (Boston Rd)

I can't wait to see you Gerry in your quality tailor-made woollen suit and designer ladies shoes :-)
