This isnt a huge store, but its one I like anyway. Everything is really easy to find, with a good…read morerange of baby and childrens clothes as you enter, maternity clothes just past those, and a good range og older chldrens toys. They have a pretty good range of baby equipment in store, with a nice selection of prams and strollers out, plus a nice range of cots made up, showing cots from one end of the price scale to the other. They have lots of other smaller pieces of baby equipment available to browse through. I have always found the staff here to be very helpful, one time we were buting a new pram but didnt want a travel system so a staff member helped us get a good discount by buying out car seat seperately. There are a few changinf rooms available to try on maternity clothes, and the instore range for pregnant mums is really good. Definately a store to visit.

The mothercare in cambridge is situated in the grafton centre. It is not a very big store and this…read moreis a shame as cambridge is lacking shops for babies. The clothes are good and there is quite a lot of choice. They have a selection of prams and push chairs on display and havea range of prices. The baby change facilities and feeding room are very good. they have chilled water available for free and very comfortable chairs - i always visit here for a feed when in the grafton! Considering it is a shop where many people will take children in push chairs the aisles are not very wide and it is difficult to get around the entire shop.

If it's long-lasting quality you're after, you've come to the wrong place…read more But if you want funky fashions at a really cheap price with lots of variety and colours, then H&M is definitely recommended. This store sells a massive range of women's and children's fashions. There's always a rainbow of colours to choose from and it's much cheaper than other high street chains like Top Shop and Miss Selfridge. There are always lots of accessories on sale too - anything from cheap jewellery to hats, scarves, hair bands belts, sunglasses and funky fishnet tights in different colours and patterns. Some of the stuff they sell is slightly random - I once saw disposable knickers (!!!) for sale next to one of the check-outs. Classy.

The store is so big! with added upstairs section past the mens bit which I nearly didn't find! When…read moretrying on I asked the girl if i could have a size smaller in something and she looked very annoyed and huffed then she carried on doing what she was doing rather than going to get the top! I stood watching her and she didn't seem to care. Until I said, could i have it now. She then picked up the top and went off without saying anything. I thought it was very rude and made me feel very in the way and annoying! But i love the clothes, such great value for money here.

I wouldn't recommend going into this store unless you have a bit of time on your hands. Sometimes…read moreit feels a bit like an upmarket jumble sale - items everywhere, not always in any kind of logical order! That said, if you do have the time to browse, you can pick up some real gems - anything from 'designer' clothes at a bargain basement price to cheap trainers to kitchenware, gym gear, luggage and beauty accessories. You have to wade through rubbish to get to the gems - but one man's (or woman's) junk is another man's treasures! I've got some real bargains at this store before so if you're not in a rush and don't have clear ideas in your head of what you're after, I would persevere because the stock is regularly updated and you might just find something fabulous! But if you go in there with a really set idea of what you want you could leave disappointed.

With T K Maxx you do not expect perfect order, or great customer service. It is bargains you are…read moreafter. One T K Maxx varies a lot from the next, depending on what stock is in. However, the Cambridge T K Maxx is the most chaotic I have been to. Clothes were all over the place, in the wrong section - trousers with tops, coats with skirts. And none of the sizes were in the correct places, so you really had to rummage to find what you were looking for. The staff were relatively helpful, although several of the items I found were mis-priced, or without prices altogether, which delayed my shopping further. It is great for a bargain, but if you are after a stress-free shopping experience stick to the high street and pay a bit more.

I loved the Grafton Center, though a lot of it stems from the fact that I lived across the street…read morefrom it when in Cambridge. It has a nice cinema, a music shop, and (i hope it is still there) an awesome cart that sold the best dried fruit and baklava ever. Not somewhere I'd recommend as a destination if you're there on holiday, but a good utilitarian mall for students.

Grafton centre is the best place I spend my Saturday mornings to afternoon. It has entertainment…read morerestaurants and shops to satisfy your shopping addiction if you know what I mean. Shops present are Next, H&M, Debenhams, Boot, Phone 4 u, Oasis, Millie cookies, La senza, Claire's accessories and many more designer shops all under one roof. The location in the city centre makes it sometimes exciting to leave your quiet room, sad you may think but it is quite thrilling. After my morning activities, I walk few mins to the bus stop to catch the park and ride bus all the way to the city centre. Then walk a short distance through the park to Grafton centre, where I fill my eyes with the things I can't afford and the things I can definitely go home with me. After all the shopping and the tired feeling, I stop at one of the restaurants to have my lunch before going home. It is a great way to spend ones Saturday and for family shopping.

I walk through the long passage of this Arcade daily on my way to the faculty, and the impression…read moreit makes is largely that of a bleak characterless provincial mall. There is no design creativity whatsoever with shops simply lined up along the way on two levels. It's filled with bland typical high street businesses like mobile phone companies' stores, HMV, Starbucks, Tophshop, etc. On the bright side there is also Hugo Boss here. An attempt to develop the upmarket retailing is also evident in a number of high end watch and jewelry boutiques. Overall though, with all the foreign tourists, students and the general reputation of Cambridge for being an attractive town, its premier modern department store could be somewhat more interesting.

Unfortunately i would suggest the Grand Arcade ahs failed to deliver. Some units are still empty giving the impression that it isnt finidhed in parts, and many of the shops that are there are just the same old carbon copies you can get anywhere. The feeling inside is certainly lacking in something as it just doesnt create the right impression of somewhere you would want to stay to shop in. Good ideas.poor result.
