At the front of the store is stationary and cards, a little further back are toys, even further back is jewelry and wedding sorts of gifts, and then to the left of the jewelry are random gifts, many with a British theme. Coffee mugs and tea towels for the Diamond Jubilee, bunting with the British Flag, just lots of very cute items for others or even just for yourself. Stop in, you won't be disappointed.

It really is worth a visit in December, and I make a point of using the arcade as a cut through - it also gets you out of the wind and rain for a few minutes!
