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.

I always used to be the unsentimental type that gives money or gift certificates…read more One day, I needed to get a present and fast. I wasn't in a high chain kind of area so I couldn't just go with my old gift certificate and giving money wouldn't have looked like I cared. I saw Rosie Brown and it reminded me of my friend Anna, so I went in there to have a look. I didn't know where to start but the sales lady made suggestions for me and I looked around a bit at the perfume bottles (with no perfume in them..?) and the plates and a white bag with a bow. My friend's into this whole retro style thing and is not one to wear real fur. Once I saw this fake fur neck wrap, I knew it was the right thing because it looked real. I also bought an empty perfume bottle because the shopkeeper said she might like that. She really did. Funny.

This store is like Nordstrom or Macy 's in U.S. I bought makeup from Charlotte Tillbury. The sales…read morewoman was very helpful and patience with me. I will go back and buy more from her. I also love the home department on the top floor.

The problem with Fenwick's is it's layout. Everything seems fairly jumbled up and slightly…read moreuninspiring. The layout reminds me a little of Primark although without the bargain prices. There is a good range of stuff but it does seem slightly expensive. Don't bother with the cafe, go to cafe nero's next door for a much better coffee.

My mother recently visited the store to buy some shoes. The service was terrible. The sales…read moreassistant girl practically threw the shoes down in front of her and then she had to ask for a shoehorn. She went to get it and then practically threw it on the seat next to her. She did nothing to help her try the shoes on. My mother is in her 90s! And a regular shopper in Banstead. Small boutiques like this need good service to survive. The service at Fluke women's store Banstead was appalling.

I always think that Leigh has too many little boutique shops, most of which seem to be selling the…read moresame things and trying to hard to be hip. Ursula & Odette is different. It is hip without trying and full of wonderfully offbeat girly clothes and accessories. Everything is beautifully displayed and there is a fantastic selection of jewellery, accessories and some highly covetable hand-made clutch bags. They don't come cheap, but nothing in Leigh ever does!

Yawn. The usual identikit-town retailers rule the roost here. You could be anywhere in the UK I'm…read moreafraid. I'm not saying the town is a worse place for it - heaven knows where we'd be without a Maccy D outlet and fifteen mobile phone shops, but it's a rich irony in a town that HAS A BEAUTIFUL GEORGIAN PEDESTRIANISED PRECINCT AND AN OLD HIGH STREET FULL OF INTERESTING, INDEPENDENT RETAILERS that the masses go here instead. You don't know what you've got 'til you lose it.... That I've given the place one star at all is in recognition of the fantastic red outfits the poor Westfield staff have to wear. I'll have a pint of what the clothes designer was on!!! They are BRIGHT RED. Unbelievably crazy choice chaps!!!!
