After Noah

I'm delighted to learn about their products. I didn't think I'd be able to afford an outdoor dining set, but the prices were quite reasonable. Since it was delivered, I've been sitting in my garden every day, so I'm really satisfied!

After Noah is a very interesting shop to pop into if you are strolling down the street after indulging at one of the many amazing cafes/bakeries here.

Lots of quirky stuff, you never know what you may find. Spread across 2 floors, the downstairs is mostly furniture and the garden out back has outdoor furniture and decor.

The ground floor has a mix of children's gift items, unique watches and loads of other bric-a-brac, that are a pleasure to browse through. I saw a lot of childrens items that I have only read about in books or seen on screen, and they also have some modern toys.

I'm no expert on antique / restored / refurbished furniture, but while the prices do seem high, they do seem to be good quality too.

A creaky TARDIS full of delights pretty much sums up After Noah.

I'm a sucker for a toy shop so succumbed to the siren's call and went in. The shop is essentially split into 3 parts - the left is gifty-type things. Reminded me of a Joy. Right has toys and games. Downstairs is vintage and vintage-style furniture and furnishings.

While I was there, I loved it. It felt quirky and cool. But I left empty-handed. I mean, it's overpriced, of course. That kind of stuff you don't need shop always is, and being in Islington compounds that. And it's full. Really, really full, which makes me not want to look at things. But if I hadn't already done Christmas pressies for my niece and nephew, I'm sure a few things would have ended up in my possession. For now though, it's a nice place to pop in and look around, and gawk at the vintage things I just can't afford!

Wow, just wow! Ever in a bind finding a gift for someone? Not after a visit here. You'll find what you're looking for or be inspired enough to pick up something completely unique and original. I really could spend hours in this shop, browsing the tea sets, paper dolls and plastic vegetables. Yup, I've turned into a 7 year old. But don't judge me, walk in there and it will happen to you.

Hold on a moment, I'm desperately late for some urgent finger painting....

After Noah's existance makes me happy. This store has loads of trinkets new and old and a whole lower level of antiques.

This store is one part vintage toy shop, one part antiques, and one part kitch gifts for the home.

This place is great to place to pick out unique present.

Check out Anti-Monoply and the retro wall clocks! Hot.

Quirky, Kitsch, and Quirky!

Too much to look at I just want to touch and buy everything, it is a well sized shop with bit and pieces from yester-year. As you know you must pay a price for these little treasures but some are totally worth it. Bought an old tin Arsenal F.C sign for the hubby and he loved it, at £24 it was worth his joy when he got it, not to sound like a master card advert but, that was priceless.

It is a blend of antique, vintage and contemporary furniture, furniment, jewellery, gifts and toys (lots of them!) they have know opened a toy shop next door. That's proving very popular you will no doubt hear more than a few people saying the same phrase 'God, do you remember these?'

Every time I walk past After Noah I see children run to the glass display and point to toys and sweets they have to have. I then watch as their parents do exactly the same. You can't help but love After Noah because of this, it brings out the big kid in everyone.

The shop itself stocks a beautiful selection of old and new toys and games, though don't go in looking for a Nintendo or a Wii, it's not that kind of place. Although things can be quite pricey, I would describe After Noah as the perfect shop if you're struggling for present ideas for someone. You would have to be buying for scrooge for them not to like something in this shop. My personal favourites are the wooden cars in the window that are just big enough for a toddler to sit on and push around. I like them so much that I am encouraging family members to have children just so that I can buy one. This might take a while though so maybe I should just bite the bullet and ask them if they have any in adult sizes...Children get enough presents anyway!

This place is adorable. A bit pricey, but some of the items are so unique and quirky, that you can't help but consider them. There's this great lighted sign that hangs above the stairs that says "Open to Both Sexes" that I covet intensely. I'm trying to figure out if its for sale and if I can get it back to the States.

We popped in here recently to buy a baby gift for a friend and had so much fun playing with the charming toys and reading through the carefully selected children's books. We bought the cutest wrapping paper -- super thick and durable, cute vintage robots! -- and it was a big hit. It better be, to be honest, at £2.50 per sheet.

Fantastic vintage pieces, goodies and furniture and definitely good for a wander.

Its commercialised no doubt, but the basement is what I liked. Why? The next time you step in take a look at the basement items, its not displayed, well like the upstairs; but there are pieces of furniture that I would love to get my hands on. Its totally a cool site to see; old genuine wooden furniture and valuable. I also like the collection of vintage phones that they have kept locked in a showcase. But the prices are crazy! and I'm not spending that kind in credit crunch season. I wonder if they are meant to be sold at all with that price tag. hhmmmm!

The children's section I found very interactive, but its mostly decorative stuff like alphabetic letters, dolls, wooden toys, puzzles, more soft toys, and lots more of course. But you have to look around really well to spot something of interest.

I think some of the items are very pricey, the store is not designed in a child friendly design. Its like being in a tennis court watching the ball travel. Neck-racking!

Here you need to be prepared before going in as it's a flashback in childhood.


All the games you had when you were a child are there.
When girls were playing cooking and boys small cars.
Small food and small copy of what you are using everyday.


They are not expensive and they let you touch everything.
Be prepared to feel like a child.


There are also sweets from yesterday that I had forgot.
Plenty of souvenirs and new intelligent games.


Downstairs, it's all abot furniture and wood, all classic but stylish.


Go there if you want to buy something you won't regret it.
