Hi, I am a mum of 2 girls who LOVE swashbuckle and playing pirates. I wanted to buy some of the large JEWELS that they use on the programme. I found the shop off Tottenham Court Road but they only sell bags of 5 shapes but all in the same colour. Therefore I was wondering if I could persuade any other families to buy other colour bags and we could swap so we each had a set of the 3 colours (and shapes). They are approx ?12.95 for a bag of 5. If you are interested please let me know on wallishazel@hotmail.com.
Hema (a Dutch shop that has just come to the UK) do a bag of diving treasure for a few pounds - plastic jewels, coins, seahorses etc. unfortunately there is no pic on their site. I'm not sure how they would compare with what you're looking at in size or quality but they might be worth a look if you're near a branch - http://gb.hemashop.com/en/assortment
I have the Hema set. The jewels are red green clear and possibly purple- and each one approximately 5 cm long by about 2 cm (but diamond shaped). The set was about 3.50 and includes sea horse and doubloons/ sovereigns. Nearest branch Victoria I think. No idea what the cbeebies/cbbc show uses I am afraid so can't say if any good to OP, but my 4 year old likes her diving set!

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
    • It’s about chains, and the ethos of family run business versus unhealthy competition

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
