We have bought rugs, tables, sofas and all manner of beautiful home accessories from East of Here over the years and you can get things that are not available elsewhere. Easily the best shop in Penzance if not Cornwall for the customer looking for the best in home furnishings. friendly and relaxed atmosphere that instantly makes shopping a pleasant experience with no upselling or hassle. I cant recommend them enough.

Tried to visit but shop was closed with a sign saying please call on 359076. When I rang owner was not interested in letting us in. Asked whether I wanted to buy something in particular or just browsing? How can someone spend hundreds of pounds without browsing. The owner also said I am not opening the shop if you only want to browse
I was taken by surprise when the owner rang me to apologise appreciate that the family was going through a difficult time hence had to close the shop. Will try again when I am in Penzance next

This shop has the most beautiful nik naks. Rugs, furniture and oddities from far and wide across the world. It's a large shop which is wonderfully laid out. The service is great as they have been there for ever and can give you long stories and indepth knowledge about every object they have instore. The only down side is that it's a little pricey.
