Primark is all of the things said in the above review!…read more However, whenever I have vistied this particular store it is like a jumble sale! ther are clothes all over the place and I can never stay in there long enough to find what I want, I get really annoyed! Having said that Primark is great, and other stores i've been in have been very good and much more organised!

I love love love primark!…read more This a fairly big store and has everything you need! The clothes are cheap as is the underwear and accessories. People often comment that the clothes are not good quality but almost everything i have bought has washed up well and i have worn time and time again. However if you do get the odd item that doesnt wash or wear well it is not a major loss because of the cheapness. I often buy my summer holiday wardrobe at Primark with t-shirts costing between £1.50 and £3 and shorts for about £5. Flip flops and bikinis are also amazing value. I am not overly keen on the ladies underwear but my partner wears the boxer shorts and the black socks for work. The only downside to this shop is the queue's and the fact that it sometimes resembles a jumble sale! The queue's are massive and sometimes snake around the clothes! I would recommed going 1st thing in the morning when it opens and midweek, never a weekend! The staff are always nice and will always go out to the stock room to look for stuff for you.

A large selection of clearance itemThe UK version of Marshalls/TJ Maxx brand owned by TJK…read moreCompanies, this instance of TK Maxx had a large selection of clothes and accessories for men, women, and children. The location consists of multiple stories, with each section having a dedicated clearance section. All prices are clearly marked, and include taxes (which somewhat compensated for the prices being in pounds). My wife got a good deal for a blouse (5 quid), that she wore multiple times on our cruise. Going on a multi-day cruise with just carry-on luggage (allowing us to be nimble as we explore), means only light weight clothing that is easy to handwash/air dry. TK Maxx (just like its sibling Marshalls/TJMaxx in the States) is great place to pick up heavily discounted clothes that fit that bill. It's also fun to see what fashion and brands a foreign country is selling...in this case, it was similar to what we are able to find in the States (along with similar prices). It was a self checkout and we had no issues using our US bank issued card. Learning: TJK changed the name to TK Maxx to avoid confusion with a British retailed called T.J. Hughes.

This time we were not allowed to come in even when my 4 years daughter was crying because she came to buy toys but could not come in. Also, it says online that small dogs are allowed.

Always worth looking out for brand names like nescafe and there are a few good forums online where people keep up to date on the best stuff to come in to stock. Stock changes regularly so worth popping in if you're passing by. The layout of the tills isn't too bad, but it's always busy and there are always queues.

This is a fabulous find of a shop. It has a huge choice of products from personal, to books, to…read moretoys, to food, to gifts. Sometimes they have well known brands on display that at other stores you would pay an awful lot more than £1. Thats right everything in store is £1. and occasionally they will promote two for £1 making it 50p each. We recently had a halloween party and I spent £50 on decorations and the whole house was decorated with some fantastic decorations - Im sure it would of cost me hundreds in alternative stores. Its always worth a pop in, dont expect to find something every time, but the ranges are changed so often that it would be worth trying again.

The food court has good food at decent prices, and there is good selection throughout the store. Five stars because as an American, the chocolate and tea aisles are amazing!

West Quay is what would be a standard out-of-town shopping centre based in the city centre, which…read moregives Southampton some really useful extra department stores. Includes, JJB, Argos, Borders, Furnture Village, Tesco Home, Staples, Halfords, Boots, and Brantano. With McDonalds and TGI Fridays oppositem, and a Starbucks in Borders, and a Novotel, Ibis, and Etap hotels also there offering cheap stays. Tesco Home was a flagship new market idea for Tesco with the store concentrating only on homewares and is a wonderful idea, and often very packed out. Parking is plentiful and as its free, everyone uses it. Free for 2 hours with parking attendants there all the time its quite good! Also frequented by the youths with they're show-off cars of an evening, so not the place to bring a learner driver!

It is also very close to a TGI's and a McDonalds as well as five hotels, which means that if you want to come from another city to shop it is ideally placed. Parking can sometimes be a nightmare and the carpark gets really busy. There are security guards and parking attendants walking around which is good and you feel very safe even when it is dark. It is a clean and tidy area and it is soon to include an Ikea.

You walk into a Disney store and expect to walk into a mini Disneyland with all the characters and…read morememorbilia on display. The southampton Disney store just feels aged, tired, and dated. Don't know whether its the brand itself or just our store, but it feels like a cheap outlet store or a jumble sale shop. I like the Disney products when I find them, I have a large Nemo here, its well made and authentic to the film and so are many of the other products! Shame the shop is a let down!

Decent looking selection at the slightly pricier end but as far as I can tell pickings are slim for this sort of place in Southampton so that's understandable I guess.

My one piece of advice would be, if you see a bargin, grab it while you can as it may not be there next time you go. The staff are friendly and helpful but don't know themselves what is going to be on the next delivery. There is a small car park attached to store but this is often full, there is a council pay and display carpark just across the road. A shop well worth popping into regularly to spot a bargin or two.

So much in one little shop…read more I popped in this morning just as they were opening (9am) and the two people working inside were so cheerful! I have never met a friendly saturday morning worker in my life, it was great to be met with a big beaming smile. Even though I couldn't find what I was after (some self adhesive wall hooks, stron enough to hold a coat - any ideas anyone?) I had a great experience in this 'find pretty much anything you are after' store! From pet accessories to allen key sets and wierd and wonderfull collection of goods.

As the name would suggest this is an eclectic shop filled with pretty much most things you can…read moreimagine. That's not to say it's filled with tat - it's not. On the contrary it's one of those magical shops that has whatever it is you're looking for. I go in for incense, they have it. I go in for a present for my niece, they have it. Spilling out onto the streets, all the bits and bobs you could possibly need to make a house a home can all be swiped up here. Don't let the name confuse you though, the only trading will be with actual money!

This is quite a small Mr Cheap shop, right in the city. Our pound shops used to be Cut Price (which…read moreI liked better) and when they all closed most of the shops were taken up by Mr Cheap shops. This store is in a pretty great location with all the bus stops nearby. If I'm already shopping in Commercial Road I might pop in this branch, but as there is now a Poundland just a across the Road, I'd probably shop in there. They are still good value though, and this one seems to have quite a lot of bits for the kitchen in it. Stock doesn't seem to change very often (unlike Poundland) so I find it's not really worth going in unless I need something. This time of year they're always full of cheap Christmas decorations.
