Pathetically rude owner, steep prices, hit-and-miss selection. I have shopped at Toy Box for about…read morefive years because it is close and saves me from getting in the car, plus I generally try to support local shops and they offer gift wrapping. There has been a undertone of unfriendliness on the majority of my visits, but today was awful - within 30 seconds, I was told to make sure my five year old didn't touch anything, which a) I've addressed as a parent oh, for like as long as he could walk b) is obnoxious given IT'S A TOY STORE and c) was mentioned the moment we walked in the door. Without this incident, I have reasons to not love this shop - it tends to carry large ranges of the same thing (I.e. Lego, wooden trains) and I found there were gaps in the selection, particularly for toddlers. It also charges fairly premium prices - I once got a simple origami set and a card for a 4 year old girl and it was close to £20. So, it costs the earth and doesn't appear to welcome kids - hardly a winning option.

Whenever I say that I live in Morden, people say,"Ah yes, the Northern line."…read more Morden station is literally the end of the line. The southern end to be exact. So, before you hop on the Tube to begin your journey, Morden News can meet all your needs for the journey. Tube ticket or re-load your Oyster card? Yup. Handy to know if there's one of the usual long queues at the ticket machines Reading material for the journey? Yup - magazines and papers Nourishment for the trip? Yup - chilled drinks and snacks are available Sadly closed on Sunday but there's a newsagent a few doors down from the station

The amazing dude that used to run this joint is no longer there…read more I deduct one star because despite the facelift, Morden News has lost its sparkle. He used to put a cheeky smile on my face before the journey and no amount of fanciness, ice cream or sweeties can make up for that. Especially considering the misery guts who has taken his place. I'm a bit gutted.

Unfortunately last week I dropped my laptop - as you do and cracked the screen. It was awfully…read morestressful because I knew it was going to be expensive and maybe not even worth getting fixed. I missioned it up to PC World on Saturday as the other PCWorld's in the city were closed. It is a huge store! Mega store next to a huge Tesco Extra and the new IKEA! The whole park is a relatively new instalment and due to the amount of space the shops are huge and the parking is extensive. The shop assistance were so helpful! They informed me that they had a number that I should call that would fix my screen and return it to me within the week! They also fixed my camera and gave me a run through of how to use it properly! You will be pleased to know the name of the business was Main Computers and they were also extremely helpful!

Utterly dreadful Store, what the heck is wrong with the management of the store. Maga store branch…read morehaving just 1 lazy female staff on the counter who acts as if she works in a health care home, the rest of the other staffs just walk around flaunting the uniform as if shares are distributed to them. It is absolutely disastrous, please train your staffs, they look grumpy, sad, untidy. It is either they hate their Manager or they hate the company. I have been to other branches where the staffs trade the business with high standard. I reserved an item for upto 4 hrs and it wasn't kept aside, the silly counter staff walked away to go fetch the TV while Bare customers waited for her to safely transport herself back. This isn't the first time I had reserved item, but the staffs in there are highly irresponsible. Simples.!!!!!!

I like this branch, it is small and compact and you do feel they make the best of the space, but I…read moredon't feel it is cluttered. I really like upstairs, I can whittle away the time in their just by looking at books on travel and spirituality etc. They have provided soft furnishing their its almost meditative up their. I have not bought anything from their yet so I cant comment on customer service. I'm glad their is still a Waterstones not to far from me since they closed the big one in Watford a couple a years ago.

Broadly speaking non fiction is upstairs (some sections here are poorly stocked- I've always found the languages section especially poor). The most positive factor in the store are the staff; this is definitely the store to go to if you are not sure about a title, etc. as they will go out of their way to track down what you are looking for. If however you are buying a best selling book they will usually be much cheaper at Sussex Stationers about 200yards further down the shopping precinct.

Loved this quirky little store that we stopped by during a shopping trip recently. It's like a…read morelittle IKEA (slightly more out there like with the toilet golf gift, haha) with very awesome prices and a neat set-up. I loved looking at everything, it was very tough not to walk out of there with like 100 items. I ended up buying a cute shower curtain and a little pepper mill shaped like a lady for about £14. The girls working there were very helpful & patient when I tried to use my US debit card (no pin & chip sadly) and they had to get my proper signature on a receipt, look at my US driver license to compare the signature, and then put that in the cash drawer. They were so nice and even said it was a learning experience for everyone! Haha. Love Tiger!!

It's also a good place to buy items to put in home made christmas crackers like the old fashioned fish that curl up in your hand and jumping beans (remember them?). I bought quite a few little stocking fillers like a growing penguin, a little man that my toddler can bend bubbles, a Kazoo (that you blow) all for under £1 each. This shop will take you back to your childhood. The service is also really good as I asked if they sold a certain type of item and the lady said they used to and went to their store room to see if they had any of the items left. Unfortuantely they did not but she went out of her way to help me.
