I used to visit this newsagents when my daughter was at university nearby…read more It is a nice shop, with lots of newspapers and magazines to choose form and lots of tempting sweets and snacks! You can order a newspaper or magazine to be delivered if you live locally, or order a magazine they dont normally stock to collect from the shop. The staff are nice, really friendly. Oh, and you can tell I dont smoke, they also sell cigarettes and lighters!

There is also a small selection of grocery items, as well as stationary and drinks. Can also do the lottery, phone top ups and there is a cash machine, although this does charge.
I love this place. It's about as central as you can get - right opposite the Bank of England - and…read moreit's great to know there's some small and civilised antidote to the life-sapping Costa-fuelled soullessness of the commuter trudge. Should satisfy any discerning smoker's every need. It's a tiny little place but has a big stock, and the owner is really friendly and helpful. Everything from Indonesian clove cigarettes to Gitanes to snuff to cigar- and pipe-related stuff I know next to nothing about can be had. And they sell handy flip-top portable ashtrays with their name on them, which is dead convenient if you can't find any of those "gum and butts" things, which you don't want to go near anyway, if you can possibly help it. Go try.
Good News looks like every other newsagent from the outside but step inside this tiny little shop…read moreand you'll see that the choice of magazines is what keeps this little store a step ahead of the rest. Because Good News is situated in the heart of Soho, where all of London's hippest fashion houses, production companies and media firms are generally based, it needs to offer it's clients something different. Sure, you can get the usual paper, a juice and a bag of crisps but I've never seen so many magazines. If your looking for fashion, music, business or art, they have every single commercial, weird and underground paper and magazine you can imagine and even stock some industry mags as well like Music Week for example. Although I don't work in Soho anymore, if I pass this shop, I always stop by and pick up a magazine I know I can't get anywhere else...
There's countless newsagents in Soho, but I love Good News. The fact that they always stock and…read moresell my favourite magazine Monocle almost a week before it's supposed to hit newsstands makes all the difference to me. No to mention they stock a fantastic selection of international magazines and newspapers that one would often have trouble finding (especially American publications)! Definitely warrants a 5 star rating.

This means you have to walk an assault course to get to the back of the store. This branch in Uxbridge has actually got a lot of floor space but you couldn't tell on first glance due to the massive displays and no space in between. I would hate to have to push a buggy around, your poor baby would have Cards and magazines crashing on it's head. The one thing I do like about this shop is the self service tills. You don't have a depressed member of staff trying to sell you half price chocolate. As you scan your own stuff. Much better when you nip in for a birthday card. This does have a great selection if birthday cards. But every time I leave I'm thankful I made it out alive!

This is the second awesome newsagent I have ventured into in one week. Camden News you are indeed…read moreawesome, because you are clean, you have a fantastic array of office nik naks, such as post it notes, tape, paper clips and a decent array of writing pads. Secondly you have the usual snack items and juicy drinks to give us all the much needed afternoon sugar rush. I believe trying our luck at the lottery is an option here too. Yet all this pales to the exquisite selection of magazines you have on offer. I spent a good ten minutes gazing longing at the shiny covers wishing I could sit and read them all. Well done Camden News, you are the shizzle! P.s. This would be 5* review but they do not seem to have Oyster top up capabilities.
Stumbled upon this little goldmine on the way home from Camden…read more My two reasons for giving this place 5 stars? 1. They carry American mags, including AP (which used to be my guilty pleasure), among many other international publications. 2. They carry Bassetts Fruit Salad chews, aka the best sweets in history. That is all.
This is a compact but well stocked shop with just about everything a villager needs for survival…read more They sell meats, vegetables, dried produce, general groceries, newspapers, magazines, sweets and most importantly fresh bread baked on-site. They also sell fuel wood but they don't sell alcohol. They are friendly and helpful people, and the prices are fair for a small operation.

The selection of newspapers and magazines is very good. I've noticed newspapers from all over the world, reflecting the wealth of ethnic backrounds of local customers. There is also a large stand with greeting cards for all occasions. This shop is really a mix of newsagents and corner shop, selling all sorts of convenience foods. The prices are slightly higher than the local supermarkets, but the convenience of buying a pint of milk almost right on your doorstep is worth paying extra for, in my opinion. You can also get you tube/bus passes here. the bus stop is right in front of this shop, so a quick top-up of the Oyster card is more than convenient here.

It's…read morequite a large store, and stocks a great selection of newspapers, books and stationery as well as some food and computer items. When we went, staff were happy to chat through the various memory sticks with us so we could decide which one we wanted. Cons The shop does get really busy on a Saturday and there are long queues to pay, and often not all of the checkouts are open.
I grew up loving WH Smiths stores, but I find they're going downhill a touch and this Bracknell…read morebranch is a prime example of this decline. Yes, they have a fantastic magazine and greeting card section. The other sections of the shop suffer somewhat though, in my opinion. The book department is average and can't compare to Waterstone's. The toy department can be messy and most board games are the full RRP, so you'd go elsewhere. Same with their music and computer games. Unwanted old items, or popular things at the full RRP. Now, I've always found the staff lovely, happy and cheery. But the poor staff are victim of the shop's biggest problem. Which is... Why, oh, why can we not simply pay for an item at WH Smith's without the staff begging us to buy some reduced price chocolate bar? Would you like to buy a half-price bar of chocolate, sir? They ask this while pointing at the tired old boxes of chocolate swarming all over their counter. For a start, it looks a mess. Secondly, it's irritating. And most of all, it's a cheek because more often than not, the same items are cheaper (without pretending to be on offer) at Sainsbury's just several paces away. So, please, WH Smith managment, stop embarrassing your staff and your customers by desperately hawking chocolate bars for a quid, reduced from two quid, that are 90p anyway at Sainsbury's right by your shop. Clear the counters, grow up, and take pride in the stuff you sell well. Great magazine and card departments. Friendly bright staff. Stupid and insulting attempts to fob us off with dubiously reduced choccy bars. My opinion, anyway.

Visits often mean negotiating with other customers to reach the bit you want! (It's usually busy). That counts especially if you want to get into the far aisle, which is a tight squeeze past anyone getting served! They stock the usual newspapers, magazines, sweets, crisps and drinks, but also all sorts of other stuff. Basic groceries like biscuits, cartons of juice, washing powder, batteries, video tapes. Also last minute gifts: toys and beard/head trimmers and (at the appropriate time of year) Easter eggs and stuff for mothers day. The back aisle holds cards and a good range of envelopes. It's also the local place for charging Oysters, and getting lottery tickets. Very useful shop and the sort of place you want to support!
