For years I've been coming to Ruislip - but only ever on a Sunday, when John Sanders was closed, so…read moreI'd never been in. This time though, on a Sunday before Christmas, it was open so we finally were able to cross the threshold! The downstairs is a bit like a timewarp - 1980s M&S, but with a small haberdashery by the door. I didn't linger here at all and popped upstairs, and I was much more impressed! There's a decent kitchen section, and I bought a relatively hard-to-find 7" springform pan, of a decent weight, for only about £7. I also picked up some reed diffusers - half price for a pack of 3 by Wax Lyrical, bargain. But where the store really shines is in its toy section. I could barely drag my husband away from the wall of Lego, the row of Funko, and just the general toys. This is definitely where I will be going from now on when I shop for my niece and nephew - and I will totally be cementing my place as the best auntie ever, because the range and quality here is just great.

Down stairs is ladies wear, knitting yarn, slippers etc but upstairs is the most wonderful toy department. This shop seems to specialise in quality toys including lego, Thomas the Tank, Playmobil and Sylvanian Families. It's the perfect place to visit if buying presents for young children as the selection is huge. There seem to be quite a number of educational toys and there are end of lines that are greatly reduced. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. A lovely shop to browse in

The management asked me to come back in the week to collect £1.20 I said what about the other 6,788 people you ripped off who did not see the SCAM.  Next time I pulled into park the barrier said my car was black listed, because I collected my £1.20 that I was over charged.  it just shows you how desperate and greedy some scammers are for every pound. My advice is check the time you enter on yr watch then see if you are charged for the time you parked not longer as they feed on you not noticing and end of the year they have over £200,000 free money.  report them to trading standards, the local media, and Harrow Police for Fraud Obtaining Money by Deception.

Very close to the Harrow-on-the-hill underground and Harrow Bus Station with its own paid parking means that it is easy to get to. From a shopping perspective Sr George has lesser stores but has better food options than St Ann's, primarily because it has a Vue Cinemas. The main stores it boasts of are TK Max, Wilkinson, Boots and a Bank. So it it very lacklustre. It makes up for this by a Vue Cinemas, a Gym, a branch for Gymborie (activity Center for toddlers) and couple of few entries . It has a Prezzo, Nandos, Frankie & Bennies and a McDonalds. The mall and parking are open till late night to cater to the cinema goers and is a factories for non cinema goers as well because the other harrow mall St Ann's closes shop at Seven! I never had issues with parking spaces and best thing is that it is free after 6:30 pm! Otherwise costs around £1.20 an hour and is not bad. Only issue I have with parking is paying for it, the machines only accept cash which is a pain if you are out of small change. Forgot to add - previous review mentions a Disney store . Wanted to share that this is now closed (couple of years ago)

So when the Chimes came along, rather than fighting the much more modern looking competitor it just slumped into defeat and now is a bit of a sad shadow of its former self. It retains some of the old stores from its hey day, but for the most part, the bigger stores are in the Chimes. But I still like it, it was important to my childhood but the days of going to the back corner for Zodiac Toys to see what Thundercats they had in is long gone. These days of goths started hanging out the front I don't think they would bother to pull out the newly installed raises flower beds so that they'd have to move on as there wouldn't be anything to lean against. These days they'd just be welcomed.

St Ann's is bang opposite Harrow-on-the-hill Tube station and Harrow Bus Station. The mall has fairly large parking with affordable prices (£1 for an hour) and has the common highstreet options like Primark, BHS, M & S attached to it. There is a Clarks, Shoezone, H & M as well as a small Boots store. There is a larger Boots in St George's. The food court above has a KFC, Pizza Corner Express, Burger King, Subway Spudulike and an El Mexicana (similar to Chilango etc but avoid it at all costs). There is also a Fuji Juice Station which makes fresh Vegetable and Fruit Juices and Smoothies and has a Millie's Attached to it. So plenty of food options. Over-all a nice little mall but wife tells me that the options and clothing lines that are on display are nothing great and she still misses the Manchester Arndale! According to me one of the better and nearest shopping option if you live in and around Harrow as it has a little bit of everything.

A lovely place to brows. The shop specialises in Lego, Playmobil, Sylvanian Families, Thomas and Friends and more.

The reason I love this place is I doubt you would find any pieces here anywhere else as it's all so unique, shelves decorated with random items of jewellery, bags subtly placed with in different corners and tables. It was all so tempting I ended up scolding myself as I left the shop (bit too late then I suppose) Shop assistant was kind enough to take all my picks of clothes and put then in the dressing room until I was finished. Excellent service with a smile. Not too pricey either and the perfect place to but that something extra special.

It takes an hour to get through. They would promise to ring me and then they'd ring my land line despite me giving them my mobile and telling them I would not be home. They closed the case saying they could not get hold of me. I went to the shop and there were customers yelling at the staff due to problems one was on old Irish man who said his wife was too distraught to come to the shop. The other was a young man who said his disabled parents had received faulty goods with no solution. The man I spoke to a tall Asian man mocked me until I cried. After numerous calls they sent an engineer who did a test within 5 mins and didn't even lie on mattress and said the bed was fine and the case was closed. The bed is 4 months old. I am now thinking of going to the small claims court.
