Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Watch battery changing?

Sorry for the dull question, but does anyone know of/recommend somewhere locally to get a watch battery changed in-house? I tried Ernest Jones in Shopping City but they send it away for a week :-/ And no idea if any of the indie jewellers along Green Lanes do it.

Thanks

Can't recall name but beside the locksmith going towards Haringey overground on Green lanes is a tiny shop that does exchanging gold, sells watches and jewellery I think. But I know it does watch batteries because I got two recently for £5each which was much cheaper than Wood Green.  Somebody on the forum is bound to know the name but walk up to Haringey overground and on that side is a tiny shop which sells batteries.

In the wood green 99p shop you can buy 24 small round silver batteries including almost every size for .. 99p.

One should fit.

That sounds good but I find it difficult to put the watch battery into the watch. The chap puts it in and checks your battery to see if it is dead as well.

Fair enough. A lick of the battery with a wet finger on the other side as well as a well as a mini screw driver from the 99p store and the right youtube video would probably do it but up to you.

If you're Seven Sisters end, the hardware shop by the indoor market (The Everything Shop, so called because anyone going in there will find something they want) does watch batteries for £3 fitted last time I was there. I know I can buy the batteries cheaper but I can never get watches open.

Tick Tock  in Shopping City's market area. £5 - £6 a go.

Always found this place above in the Market Hall very good for watch battery changing.

Thanks all, some great recommendations. Thought I was going to have to go to Crouch End...!

I think any of the jewellers on Green Lanes should do it...... if you can get them to let you in the door!

The best place is in Wood Green shopping mall, Level 1, east side of the pedestrian overpass as it goes over the High Road, south side of the walkway, a few shops before you get to the cinema entrance and after the games shop. They sell watches, etc and it's the only place I've found locally who can change a watch battery on a particular watch that others have trouble with.

I don't know what the shop name is, but I've used them about 3 times, over the last 3 years, and they are excellent, they will give a 12 mnths guarantee on paper if you ask and they do the job while you wait.

If you buy the battery at Lido they'll put it in for you for free.
