The shopping centre is a nice place to get lost in. Really!! It has three or four entrances and for…read morehow hard I tried to orientate my self with the electrical maps...I always found my-self on the wrong place. I kept walking in circle for over 20 minutes looking for JD Sports. The numerous shops made it enjoyable still. Oh yeah; and there is also a chocolate shop on the ground floor. That was love at first sight guys. Nice getting lost in places like that.

I've never been mad about BHS. I feel a bit middle aged talking about this shop. For a while last…read moresummer they sold a nice glitter shoe selection. As my arse shrinks back to it's post Marks and Spencer's goat cheese size, I realise I may need to a young teen size on the bottom. They tend to do more petite sizes in the US. BHS does a really nice Young Teen collection called Tammy that I may try to fit my arse into soon. It looks like adult clothing. Sometimes Nan and I also eat in the cafe here which is really cheap, no great shakes. Nan needs to get in from the cold so we come here to help her out but damn. That Tammy range is alright. Better than the shit I wore as a teen!

Nice and fresh new shopping area - really boosted the marlowes. Will be much nicer when all the…read moreshops are filled, but great selection so far. Not sure about the new sculpture they've unvieled, but doesn't affect shopping. It's refreshed the whole Hemel Shopping scene, and looks to get better as time goes on.

There is a very large furniture department with very tasteful displays of children's bedrooms etc. You can go crazy here! No dodging through racks and tripping over fallen clothes here, a very nice shopping experience. The children's clothing section is very pleasing to the eye. It is never very crowded either so you can shop freely and comfortably to your heart's content!

This is a large 'out of town' Next which is walking distance from the town centre! Access is great…read morewith a lift to the second floor, and unlike the central branch you can easily navigate it with a buggy or pushchair. It has a huge homes section including a display of many of the items usually only seen in the directory. Stock is well maintained and I can always find what I want in all sizes. The children's section is the biggest I have seen, although ironically it is this area which is hardest to get through with a buggy (why don't they think!). Otherwise a great store and worth the walk. Service is good as you would expect from Next and I have often returned items with little or no problem at all.

The Food Hall is very large with an extensive selection of products you would usually find in a Marks and Spencer store. Although I could not find the specific brand/size of milk I was looking for, but they did have alternatives in most areas you would expect. I do think the store layout could be improved, as I did find it difficult to find some items that are generally easier to find at other locations, a lack of staff on the shop members floor to help out was also frustrating. As with all large stores, there is a clothing section, although this does not seem to have been refurbished as recently as the Food Hall. 4*
