...and there is an argos in lewisham town centre.
as mentioned, the small discount stores like pound stretcher, etc (there are many) are great for bits and pieces that she might need to settle into her place. things like hangers, kitchen gadgets, small tools, hooks, etc are a fraction of the cost as compared to a "real" store.

Could I suggest that she asks fellow-students? If she really feels she has to call home for advice on something like this, she needs to make sure she's getting support from the college in plugging into all the student social networks - and I'm sure Goldsmiths has more than adequate student support services to help her do so.

no, this isn't a joke or hoax. she has tried to ask several people w/in her building and even the people responsible for organizing her trip and she has not received good answers from them. the pound store near her apartment does not have fan nor the clothes hangers. however, she will continue to look further. but i thank all those who did reply. it is greatly appreciated

alicelouise,
What sort of fan? If you mean an electric one there are usually plenty of 9" (often clip-on shelf and very useful) and 12" ones around in the summer. In addition to places like Argos it is worth trying local office supply shops as well as stores like Comet, Currys and Woolworths. There may be small electrical retailers locally. Modern retail practices mean that a lot of stores only carry certain goods seasonally, so after a cool summer there may be lots of fans being sold off cheap, after a hot one they will be sold out.

Fans - http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/st...=7&go.y=12
Coathangers - I think her local Tesco would have them; but if not, John Lewis is certain to have them. JL may have fans too, although as others have pointed out it's not the season for them.
