(Think 'Are you being served') It was gutted a few years back and although the building looks the same on the outside inside it's a totally different place. There are three floors (as per usual) which are jam packed full of things to peruse and buy! The womenswear floor is large with a wide range of items for women of any taste. They have a Coast branch inside and a big collection of fancy dresses to suit. The homeware floor is big as well with quite a decent range of kitchen utensils which is nice because a lot of stores skimp on things like this. All in all the store is nice and bright, it can get a bit congested on the escalators and in the lobby though so be careful.

It is located opposite…read morethe market, near to where Woolworths use to be. if you ar elooking for something cheap and cheerful then this is the place to go, if however you are after clothes which are of a good quality and are going to last then I would not recommend this place. Most the stuff I have bought from here has only lasted a couple of washes until it went out of shape and personally I wouldn't shop there for anything other than something I was only going to wear for one night. The staff aren't particularly helpful and the shop can be untidy and feel very busy. Cheap and cheerful

West One is situated in the newer part of the Milton Keynes shopping centre- Midsummers Place and…read moreit is one of my favourite shops in the whole centre. It is a good sized clothes shop that sells really lovely fashionable women's clothes and I always think that they look really classy too. The shop looks like it will be expensive as it has an expensive look to it, but really the clothes are not too dear at all. They are a bit more expensive than places like New Look, but on the whole I think the clothes are good quality and affordable. The store has a really nice layout to it and the clothes are often displayed in a colour coded fashion so if you are looking for a red top, all the red tops would be in one place. It gives the store a great look to it and is easy for customers to find what they are looking for. There are plenty of changing rooms and the staff are helpful in this store too.

This store I believe is good value for money, yes it does sometimes seem a little pricey like a pair of black trousers will cost you £30 but then they do last a long time, so its values for money. The store is pretty big inside and has plenty of room if there is a sudden rush of customers, there are also plenty of changing rooms and someone is always manning them so there is help there if you need it. They sell dresses, trousers, smart tops, casual tops, skirts, shoes and accessories.

I ordered some shoes for delivery and they arrived damaged, tried to contact them but no chance, no number to call just an email address, contacted them on 23 April and to date (12th June) I have had no reply, iv chased it 2 times already. Almost 7 weeks being ignored, what a disgrace of a company please beware this once decent well loved company are now a bunch of scamming cowboys

Of all the department stores in Milton Keynes, for me this one is the worst!…read more I really hate it. It's not the products, it's the attitude here, and the lack of consideration for anyone who is not walking along without any encumbrances. This store is laid out so badly in places that it's inaccessible to anyone in a wheelchair, or with a pushchair, and in some places it's so bad that if you even have a bag that you're carrying you'll have difficulties accessing things. The section by the main entrance isn't too bad, it's where all the concession stands are, and they're fairly easy to access and there's space around each one which is fine. It's when you go deeper into the store that the problem starts. The display units are shoved so closely together that it becomes impossible to get between half of them, and the staff here don't seem to care and aren't interested in helping either.

I first came across Wilkinsons whilst holidaying in Great Yarmouth. I remember thinking what a…read morefantastic shop, how we could do with this in Aylesbury!!! Woohoo my wish came true and a few years on (I think) the shop has gone from strength to strength. Everything in my opinion is very well priced and of a good quality. I mostly go in the shop to buy DIY bits and bobs as once I've looked around B&Q for 5 mins I always know i'll get the same item at half the price as that shop. The staff make me laugh, numerous accents and differing levels of education, so when its time for till its like a little adventure. If you need perfume you MUST make sure you pop into Wilko first and check out their prices. Ok they might not have it but read my words "IT IS DEFINITELY WORTH A NOSEY!!!". I managed to buy a £40 bottle for £17.95 and my wife who likes Lancome - Tresor or similar managed to pay just over £21.00. It was more like £50 at Beatties. I couldn't help but question whether it had come off the back of a lorry and between us laughing of course it had to have I promptly moved on to shop 20!!! Great overall shop - keep it up Wilko.

I can't say I was very impressed with the Boxing Day sale this year (Dec 2018), when I went two…read moreyears ago I got some great deals. We arrived at 06:45am to an already almost packed car park. By 9am we were done and ready to go home, people arriving were being turned around as the overflow car park was filled so they were being bused from the park and ride car park way down the road. Bed smart, arrive ridiculously early. Especially if you want Gucci or Prada deals. The queues were already mental before the shops opened. Other than that, some great stores, and have your passport ready for VAT refund services available on the same day you buy all your goodies, don't wait until the airport!

I hit a few when I was there but by far the best was Max Mara! They had soooo much stock and everything was very well priced! I also love the way they have designed the mall - it's all outside, very beautiful and the bathrooms are such high quality. There is also really great food there! Although we didn't eat there this time. If you're in the area or even close enough to drive or get a train I'd highly recommend heading over to get some great bargains!

Unique and one-off pieces, you'll find some lovely gift ideas or pieces to complete your outfit. They also sell a lovely selection of bags and scarves. Lots of the items are unusual, the website says that it is 'remniscent of a french boutique'. I enjoy going just to browse round and ususally find something I like! Price wise, it is a little more expensive than other retailaers but I don't think you'll find these pieces elsewhere in Oxford so it's worth it.

When in the UK I always make sure to do some shopping at M&S. Besides the amazing food sections…read more(and the M&S Foodhalls all over the country), it's the loungewear that gets my attention. Quality is there, it lasts for years and years. This store here had a very good and wide selection of both loungewear and underwear. Lots of other great stuff in this store. Found what I looked for and bought a whole bunch of them. Prices were quite a bit higher than three years ago when I last visited. But still a lot better - especially given the quality - than in my country. Surely a place to come back to when back in the UK.

Every day is a darn good coffee day. We've taken more and more to go into environmentally conscious…read moreM&S cafes as we spend a month touring England. They are bright, clean and spacious, and the seating areas and toilets are kept clean. We more and more opt to avoid the big coffee players like Starbucks, Nero, Costa and importantly for us we trust M&S to ensure that the food and drinks we buy aren't crap laden. They choose their own fair-trade coffee beans and have a coffee on their Cafe menu that they advertise as Magic (Spanish cortado style) which is £3.15 and it's darn good coffee. It's coffee we want. Simples. We don't really want these Starbucks drinks (other chains do exist) that flog you coffee so full of cheap sugar, topped with cream, swirled with some vegetable oil based topping that you means that you are consuming a full days worth of calories in a sickly sweet overpriced cupful. The seating is spacious, the staff are real friendly and the free WiFi is fast. There's always a decent selection of hot and cold food but it's cake for us, usually Victoria sponge and they usually have it. It's become more and more value for money too. Another advantage is that there's a large retail store attached to the cafe - what a great concept and it means I can get an Eccles cake for later from their in-store. Sheer buttery perfection is M&S Eccles cake.
