Reviews of Cowling & Wilcox

Z. A.

Really well priced, great selection and helpful staff! They supply Michael Harding oil paints as well which is a definite plus. They also stock low-high grade winsor Newton paints which is fab for beginners to professional.

a. p.

Staff were really friendly and everything was reasonably priced for London and they had a great range of craft products - sure to find what you need

m. r.

Really nice art supply store. Also purchased online and delivery times can work to be severely slow. So might be faster visiting store if your local. Good stockist. Can be reasonable at times; Prices can sometimes work out cheaper than online, but i gave 4* cause be sure to check, as other times, your paying nearly twice more instore. Decent transport links, bus accessibility and a 10-15mins walk from Denmark Hill Station. A downside, it's not on the main road, it's just off on one of the side roads. Been an art student prior and lived in and out of the area for years and didn't notice it's location. Might need a map to locate the door front.

Y. M.

Good sized art store with plenty of materials for any art type. Stocks canvasses, paper, paint, clay, stationary etc. Regularly have sale and discounted items, and also do student discount. Staff are friendly and ready to help if needed.

J. C.

Great shop with a good selection of art stuff. Also good for creative presents for kids.

C. C.

I love this place! It’s like a hidden gem. A few weeks ago I got married and had a little reception. I found a lot of the decorations here and at a great price!

Super knowledgeable staff, great selection and it's always a pleasure to go in and ask them for recommendations, depending on what art project you're working on!

J. W.

Very well stocked art shop and friendly staff and a lot of good arty stuff for Children.

N. M.

Great art n craft store with great reductions

A. G.

I have been to this shop many times, and it’s always one of the best places to visit if you’re looking for art supplies. Huge selection, and they always have something on sale. The people who work there are very helpful and nice too. Definitey better in many ways than the central London art shops (selection, price, etc.)

A. H.

Opened on 15th June again. Make you use anti bacterial gel upon entrance -which is extremely good. Since not all shops do this. Wasn't packed at all. Plenty of space to move about. All nice and labeled for queues. Great place to get all your arts and craft things.

M. G.

Great Workers :) They are so nice and always ask you if you need any help when your walking around . The prices might seem a bit high but if you think oh our it the quality is great and the shop is super neatly layed out . To most pens/markers were testers so you can see how the pen is like which is a cool touch because many stores don’t have that option . They also have Great activities and help out with posters for example there were guitar lessons . Overall AMAZING 😉 store

B. C.

Just had the best experience in an art shop I’ve ever had in my life! Chris made my experience fantastic by not only advising on products but also with his friendly approach and care. He also helped me carry my long heavy stretcher pieces to my car. Which art shop does that nowadays?! Great stuff guys. From now on I will always buy my art stuff from this awesome store, which is also local to me. Top stuff!

A. A.

This is my go to local shop for quality art supplies and I feel lucky to have such a place so close to my home. It's always quite pleasant in here for a perusal. Prices can be high for some things, but at the same time, prices for similar products elsewhere would probably be about the same. They do have decent sales from time to time though so it is worth being on their mailing list to get notifications of these. For convenience, I like to go there when I don't have time to shop more extensively or when I actually want to see a product in person. Staff are usually pretty nice and helpful overall and I enjoy the relaxed atmosphere.

T. T.

Friendly helpful people. A good range and good prices. Stock a little depleted I thought but such are the times.

R. M.

I always come here for birthday cards, wrapping paper and art style gifts. It has variety a bit different to the usual high street stores. They've increased their range of children's gifts to include some science stuff for 8-10yr old's maybe in addition to all the craft stuff have so a great place to try if you're stuck for ideas. This is in addition to all the specialist art stuff they have. I'm not an artist so not my area apart from if I want a nice pen 😊

T. K.

Great value on discounted canvas and good selection of art materials. Most things are standard prices, but really convenient to have a good selection in the heart of camberwell.

A. G.

The staff here are second to none. I couldn't have wished for better assistance a few hours before my exhibition. The shop is huge with a great range of materials and my 'go to place' whenever I want to spoil myself with new, reasonably priced art materials.

M. M. a. v. f. t. r. o. a.

Well, this place is a wonder, great staff, friendly and helpful. Have a great selection of art materials, reasonablely priced. Great open space to wonder round and take your time before you buy! There are some draw backs though, stock is not always replaced qucikly enough when sold and there are some materials that they don't stock, for me that would be a better range of handmade paper and specialist pastels! But that's being a little to fussy, it's a great shop and lm glad it's in Camberwell. The next time your in the area do have a look in, you'll be glad you did.

n. N.

my go to art shop, it's great! You always have everything I need + staff is amazing. Your colleague Chris helped me a lot today (Thanks!) and I really appreciate the level of knowledge and advice I was given.

Used to frequent this store near my parents on the regular but now I hardly go, each time I do go the staff are very pleasant but the layout is different every time I visit which is rare these days. That said it's a nice art store with plenty of everything.

T. I.

Calm atmosphere. Friendly unobtrusive but concerned staffing. Prices are ok. Lots of art materials for everyone. Lots of drawing, painting and sculpting equipment plus more creative goods for all levels of expertise.

D. H.

Excellent place for art supplies, the service was superb. I've been there a couple of times and am a complete novice. My naive questions were answered with sincerity

T. S.

Great store. Visited to buy a gift. Everything you'll need for a budding artist. Some stuff a bit pricey but in return you get quality goods!

S. D.

Best art and craft supplies for Brixton, Loughborough and Camberwell. Good prices on paper, pens, pencils etc. Some good deals. Friendly and helpful staff. Section at the front of the shop for crafts that are kid friendly. Good range of supplies for the size of the shop.

J. S.

Artists south of the river should come here. Nice medium sized shop. Not an Atlantis sized warehouse, but good.

H. C. -. L.

Staff so so helpful and cut all my portfolio mounting card for me, for no extra cost! (not sure what his name is but guy with short black hair was amazingly helpful and so nice!)

L. M.

An artists supply shop with almost everything you might want. The students from the nearby Camberwell Art School get their supplies here, but there are also quirky gifts for children and adults, such as modelling kits and complex pattern colouring books.

M. M.

Customer service that goes above and beyond! I work for a local charity in Camberwell and needed a board cutting to a specific size for mounting pictures at our staff conference. Jagroda did a wonderful job for me without hesitation. So special thanks from me and our charity. Also like to mention Nacine who was helpful and friendly while I was faffing about. Thanks Maria

The store has a really nice atmosphere and has plenty of supplies for great prices. I recommend you go to the store instead of the website because it is easier to see what is what and how many there are (what type of explanation was that? what the heck) anyways... its a great store!

E. A.

This is a great shop that I purchase a lot of my items depending on the project. The staff are knowledgeable and helpful and the products good quality.

B. W.

This place makes me really happy! There's so much interesting and great stuff you can find here! I would definitely recommend visiting even if you don't need anything in particular! The staff aren't that nice though, they're are very helpful but a little judgemental

m. w.

Lots of high quality art supplies here the staff are very nice and welcoming, apologizing for misgendering me too! Great store with a great taste in music 100% recommend!

c. k.

So lucky to have this art supplies shop in the most artistic neighbourhood

J. C.

This is a well stocked art store just off the main high street in Camberwell. There are knowledgeable and amenable staff that work here and they worked hard to ensure that I got exactly what I was looking for.

My Daughter loves this shop. She buys lots of pens for her animation. Amazingly it is cheaper than online retailers.

A. L.

Great customer service i.e. if you have an art question or project, the shop staff are passionate about it too! Also great range of stuff

A. R.

Love this shop, staff are so friendly and helpful and they have a great range of supplies at very reasonable prices.

J. W.

A nice little shop, wish it was larger and had more stock and more variety and more new things, but staff are very helpful and friendly and there isn't anywhere similar for ages and does better by miles than anything similar that is nearby.

S. T.

Such a wonderful shop and the staff are really helpful. Thanks again to the sales person who helped me tape a roll of paper to the back of my bicycle.

C. L. H.

I love this place, I do feel a bit sorry for the staff as they seem to be at the mercy of head office, as to what the stock might be. I’m told I could order online and get it delivered. But browsing is more my thing. I do remember the stock was more plentiful in the past. The staff are great and welcoming and it’s always a pleasure to pop in after class.
