Fetish Freak
Visitors frequently praise the staff, particularly Dan, for being friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful, making the shopping experience comfortable and enjoyable. However, many reviewers note that the shop is very compact, with stock packed from floor to ceiling, which can make browsing difficult despite the impressive selection.

This South London shop, steps from Oval tube, sells fetish fashion and lifestyle products.
You’ll find a careful selection of leather and rubber clothing, army boots, toys, and accessories. They also stock wellness products and sportswear. Don't skip the second-hand rail: it’s where you might dig up a vintage piece or something pre-loved at a good price.
London has a few shops like this that double as community spaces for the LGBTQ+ scene. You can browse without judgment, whether you’re after a particular item or just looking around. It’s the kind of place that has both everyday basics and more specific, niche stuff.
Because it’s a specialist shop, stock changes. If you’re hunting for something specific, check their website or call ahead. Getting there is easy: hop on the Northern Line to Oval from central London.

I had a wonderful time in this shop, the attendant was lovely, knowledgable and kind, taking the time to help me deciding what to purchase, coming away feel great with a new found confidence. I will definitely recommend to others and I will come back again.
Friendly, helpful and with a reassuringly ‘old school’ charm. To adequately display everything they have would probably require a shop four times the size, but you have to admire the zeal with which they have packed the place from floor to ceiling with tantalising stock, compensating for the lack of floor space by utilising well informed and approachable staff to help you navigate the cornucopia of fetishistic merchandise.
I loved this shop. And Dan is amazing. It was such a pleasure to talk to a man who understood the clothing I was looking for, helped me find the perfect fit, but who also shares my interests and lifestyle. Chatting with Dan was the best part of the experience.
Thanks for everything. They made my leather pant in a 2 days
Fetish Freak is the most friendly sex shop customer experience you could have: Unintimidating, knowledgeable, honest and in my opinion the best independent gay retailer (*Disclaimer: It's very compact to say the least but they still manage to stack the shelves with a huge range of decent, well-priced product) The staff are great, chatty if you want that, always respectful, and they know what they are on about;-) AND lets not forget everyone's favourite 'second-hand / used' charity donation bin-of-tricks for sale too ??!! Can't recommend it any higher to be honest, for a local south Ldn spot for anything your kink desires.... Please support businesses like these , so they can continue to be in business for London's Queer / Alt communities for years to come:-)
Amazing shop, very friendly and helpful staff (Dan and Jonathan). Fantastic catalogue of leather products.
This shop is awesome and Dan was fantastic. *Warm & Friendly *Honest Opinion *Understands right fit/for looking good *In depth product knowledge *Knowledge of cultural placement of items. I.e what should be worn on the left or the right. Dan went above and beyond. As someone who was in retail management I know who is good. He is fantastic and not just to me. He knew his returning customers, their names and asks if their special orders arrived safely. Outstanding. I look forward to my next visit.
