Chatham Primark - the shop of choice for many a local chavette…read more This place really is a nightmare on any day of the week, like a giant jumble sale for loud mouthed locals '''ere Tracy they 'ave those trouser's Donna got the other week, innit! U want a size 16 mate?'' Just gotta laugh. Don't get me wrong - this place is ok for a few items but most of the stuff here is cheaply made, unflattering & unattractive. I've visited this place a couple of time's mainly through sheer lack of store choice in the area and I've picked up a few bits. Mainly holiday stuff - flip flops & bikini's. I like some of their mix and match bikini set's but variety seems to have gone downhill the last couple of years which is a real shame but overall they're good if you're anything like me and wear a different bikini for almost every day of your holiday! I also recently came across their sports bra's too which are a bargain - 2 for £5 I think they were. Sick of paying upwards of £30 for just one these were a great find although I wouldn't recommend for women with larger sized busts. Ok shop if you can tolerate it.

New Look in Chatham is now a huge affair with two floors full of fashion goodness…read more It offers ranges to suit everyone from the youngsters to the men with different departments to suit different bodies. For example the youngsters can go to 915, those from sizes 8-16 or 18 will go for the general wear and those with bigger sizes get another department dedicated purely to them. You can find a whole section dedicated to going out with items such as glitzy tops, dresses, cardigans etc. Then a jumper section with namely a lot of jumpers in it. Cardigans etc. Then a denim section where you will find a wide range of different styles and cuts to suit just about any fussy lady. If you're on the tall side there's a tall section and sleepwear. I have to say they don't offer a petites section which is quite annoying if you're on the small side like moi. Upstairs you will find the 915 section, larger lady section, shoes and a huge range of jewellery with designs to suit all. There are also a large number of bags and hair accessories, all at very decent prices!

You can find loads of body jewellery in there, from belly button bars to flesh tunnels for stretched earlobes. There are also many hippy-style clothes, from beaded skirts to rainbow hoodies made from hemp. Additionally, you can find furniture in there as well as things like Buddha statues and Indian-style trunks for storage. Keep in mind that these will be at premium prices. Last but not least, there is a wide selection of incense, oil and smoking paraphenalia. The shop also provides body piercing although I would personally recommend avoiding this and going to a professional studio
