This is a small branch of the Bon Marche chain which says it specialises in clothes for the 45+…read morelady. However, I'm around that age and am generally by far the youngest person in the shop when I visit. Most of the clothes are not styles I would wear, but they're very good for basics, particular summer clothes like vest tops, linen-type trousers etc. Recently they've been selling a range designed by David Emanuel which is made up of really quite stylish pieces which you can mix and match with other items. Most of the Bon Marche range goes up to size 24 and the David Emanuel range goes up to a 22. The only real problem with the Staines branch is that there's too much in it, too many rails crammed into too small a space, so you can struggle to move around.

With a large range of top quality clothes the Weybridge shop has a special section for Vintage and…read moreDesigner labels. All presented in a clean and fresh condition, there are many high fashion items as well as classic pieces. Usually well stocked with Accessories and Jewellery, though items turn over quickly. Nicely displayed china tea sets, original paintings and prints, kitchen items, frames etc. Very reasonably priced. Books C.D.s, DVDs and records are next door in their specialist Book Shop. Very friendly staff devoted to helping keep the Weybridge Hospice open.

Reminds me of a 7-Eleven or deli from stateside. It's a…read moreconvenience store that's open early and late. They have sodas, drinks, snacks, food, etc. I was staying overnight in the area and it was the perfect place to grabs drinks and snacks for the hotel room. There are self pay scan kiosks there as well so check out is easy.

This big Tesco Homeplus is a bargain hunter's dream. It stocks all the Tesco clothing ranges,…read morehomewares, some cosmetics and toiletries, toys, electricals, DVDs, CDs, books, all kinds of seasonal goods and much more. As it's out of the way at the back of the Two Rivers shopping centre it hardly ever seems busy - the best time to come is after 5pm (it's open till at least 7pm most nights) and you can pretty much have the place to yourself. Tesco's books are particularly good value and they often do a 2 for £7 for their top paperbacks. The clothing ranges are also good value and the sizes (particularly for men's ranges) go quite high. The Staines Homeplus is generally kept tidy and I've found staff to be helpful. My only two (minor) quibbles would be that sometimes goods are reduced and the first you know about it is when you're paying for them - if you'd known earlier you might have bought more than one item. And secondly, that when it does get busy there often aren't enough tills open so that you end up waiting longer to pay than you'd like.

The Staines branch of Gap is quite a large one and is over two floors, so there's lots of choice…read more Staff tend to greet you as you come through the door, which I suppose is intended to make you feel welcome, but in fact I always find it intimidating and false. The children's wear in particular is nice and is reasonably priced. The mens and womenswear is less impressive and my particular bugbear is that they produce relatively large sizes, but don't order very many larger items for each store, meaning that we fatties are often disappointed. Once you get past the initial awkward American-style greeting, the staff are generally friendly and helpful.

If you're over 25 you need to take your courage in both hands to go into New Look in Staines…read more Firstly because everyone else in there (including the staff) looks like they should still be at primary school, and secondly because there's so many clothes rails that you'll have to scrum your way through as if you're playing rugby. There's so much in here that you won't know where to start, but it is worth having a rummage as you may come up with something you like. As well as its mainstream clothes New Look does a teen range, a plus-size range, lingerie, shoes and accessories. The shoes are particularly good value as some are leather, but not as expensive as elsewhere.

On my most recent visit to Debenhams Staines my favorite department the men's suits is no more…read more Over the years I must have purchased over 30 suits from there. The menswear department had thinned out and it looked very much like they were in preparation for closing down in 2021. The planning application has already been approved to convert the entire store to apartments. A sad day for Staines being the largest store and I recall working Saturdays in the electrical department managed by London Electricity 30 years ago.

This is a reasonably large branch of the Debenhams chain which I shop in from time to time, but…read morehave always found a bit scruffy and down at heel. The cosmetics department on the Ground Floor looks smart and has recently been updated, but the further back in the shop you go the scruffier it seems to get. Some of the upper floors also seem a bit scruffy. Sale stock seems to hang around for months and looks very jumble-sale like. Some of the sale clothes look grubby and stained as they've been out on show for so long. I particularly like the Designers at Debenhams section as I have a particular fondness for handbags, but find that the goods in the rest of the shop can be over-priced. Having said that, Debenhams seem to permanently have a sale at the moment which encourages me to shop there a bit more. I haven't ever found the staff in the Staines branch particularly good or particularly helpful. I recently returned something to the store which I'd bought on the Debenhams website and though this is encouraged on the website it turned into a bit of a farce, with the assistant calling the department manager, who had to call his manager and eventually the store manager to find out which buttons to press on the till. All in all, a distinctly average store.
