The Music range is limited, the dvd prices are far higher than Amazon, Play.com, etc and for books your better off going to a Waterstones or a Charity Shop!

The WH Smiths in Milton Keynes is quite big and stocks your usual books, magazines, papers,…read morestationary and music. They are also very helpful and will order in any books which you want which is great. With the Woolworths closing down this is the place for stationary in Milton Keynes and they often have offers on, especially around the beginning of school terms. I do find WH Smiths more expensive than other places, such as supermarkets and the gone Woolworths, but everything is of an excellent quality, so there is no false economy there. They do sometimes have books signings, but not that often. All the staff are nice and helpful, plus they stock chocolates bonus!

I am pretty much the same now as well though but now its diaries, organisers and general note books to write things down in. This store is on two floors downstairs you have books, from biographies, baby books, educational, fiction and magazines; you can also buy sweets and drinks from here. Upstairs which is my favourite part of the store to visit you can find all the stationary you could possibly need, notebooks, diaries and anything you could need to keep yourself organised. They also sell music CD's, blank CD's, arts and craft activities ect This store is nice and spacious, it is my favourite store to visit and the staff are really very nice.

I find the magazine section in this store is probably the best in town and I have never yet not found a particular magazine that I was looking for in this branch. The store is very well laid out and always looks tidy. It has a pleasant atmosphere too. This is one of the best WH Smith stores in the area mainly because the range of products is so high and the store is large which stops it becoming cluttered looking. The prices are not too expensive, although not the cheapest place to buy stationery, but if you are looking to buy a range of stationery related products then you may be able to get them under one roof here to save time shopping around.

The upstairs isn't all that large but the store is well laid out, with different subject matters divided up and the chart of bestseller titles along the side wall. Making the most of the available space. WH Smith also seems to have became more competitively priced for books lately, with more special offers. The strength of the store is its magazine selection and book deals. I think the DVD and CD selection is weaker because those products are such a competitive market with Zavvi and HMV usually cheaper and located close by.

The lift in this store is so small that it is very difficult to accommodate a buggy. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Basic stationary can also be found here

It is a medium sized…read morestore only on one floor but they sell all the usual WH Smith items including top title books, magazines, cards, stationery and chart CDs and DVDs. I think it is the only place in the Swansgate Centre that sells magazines so it is the first place I would look, but i do find that the range of greetings cards is limited and much more expensive than other stores nearby such as the Card warehouse. They often have good offers on the chart title books, such as 2 for £20 on hardbacks or 3 for 2 on paperbacks. It is a tidy store and the staff are friendly. There is sometimes a bit of a queue at the tills though as both tills are not always open.

They have a selection of books, magazines, dvds, CDS, cards and stationary available. The tills always seem to be busy when i have visited the store and it is often hard to get a member of staffs help in the store, but when i have got some body to help me they have always been happy and willing to help. The store is always tidy and the shelves well stocked, it is not to tight for push chaires etc. Overall is a good store if they have the products available that you require.

They do all the usual Smiths products, Books, stationery, cards, mags, DVD's music and gaming. I like this store as it is all on one level, no going upstairs. They have a great range of stuff. WH Smith have an older feel to them a bit like woollies, I suppose it is because I shopped there when I was a teenager. Parking is not great for this shop, a bit of a walk whichever end of the brunel centre you park.

The shop is always full of interesting nik-nics from bygones past and bits and bobs from peoples wardrobes. We have often wandered in and picked up a real bargain. This particular store is good because of the fairly affluent area of North Oxfordshire. This is always guaranteed to bring in some good bargains. The staff involved with the shop are always lovely, pleasant and welcoming, and give a real safe, family feeling to the shop. The shop is especcially good at this time of year for Christmas cards and wrapping paper. Everything is sold at good value and with Oxfam, obviously a good cause. Highly recommended for a visit.
