Spent some time here a couple of times recently looking round for some appliances for our new home…read more there's a great range of everything for the kitchen and home office, plus the latest in TVs and computers. There are sometimes discounted items as well; in actual fact I bought a cut-price tripod for my camera on one of my visits. The assistant who served me (Zung) was really lovely and so helpful he took a few tripods out of their boxes for me and set them up on the carpet so that I could see them properly. I'll definitely go back there for some more things before long! There's a large free car park right outside. Opening hours: Mon-Fri 9.00am-8.00pm Sat 9.00am-6.00pm Sun 10.00am-5.00pm

Its got all sorts of paraphenalia beloved of electronics boffins and some interesting looking household gadgets you might not expect to see, plus toys! You can buy most of the stock cheaper elsewhere or on the internet, but sometimes you just don't have time to go on the hunt for a good deal and you know Maplin will have just the thing you need.

They used to be more of an Argos-style store with catalogue ordering and take-your-form-to-the-counter service, but some years ago they began opening larger stores with a great selection of budget consumer electronics on display. They're great if you're looking for extension cords, phones and accessories, computer bits and bobs, and obscure branded electronic thingamibobs. They're especially good around Xmas as they always have some bizarre electronic toy that's just perfect for your 8-year-old nephew or the other geek in your life. Sometimes they don't have the item you want in store (as happened to me today), but they're more than happy to order it up for you and it will be delivered to your home at no extra charge. I do find them a bit overpowering sometimes as they always seem to have a surfeit of staff who hover around you asking if they can assist every couple of minutes, which wears thin very quickly with me, especially as this is the kind of shop I like to circumambulate several times whilst waiting for inspiration to strike if I've got a particular project in mind but I'm not sure what I need (which is most of the time when I'm in here!)

From buying CDs for burning, to rewiring my speakers, they've been kind enough to share their know-how all over the shop (literally). You can get everything you want electronically here - even from batteries to welders, and when you can't find it - guess who'll come to the rescue? That's right, the maplin employees! Everyone loves a Maplin Employee...

I can honestly say these guys are amazing. I don't know a thing about CCTV, but Len wasn't happy…read morewith the cameras he installed, so came back with cameras which best suited my property. He changed the cameras over and it was only then I realised what he meant. He could have left the other cameras up, as I was none the wiser. His apprentice (who looks about 12) was such a lovely young man too. Both guys were very polite lovely people who I cant thank enough. The service for providing and installing CCTV was worth a lot more than I paid The peace of mind the system has given me is also priceless. Thanks again guys :-)

Thank you to LS Electronics. We've had some issues with vandalism so wanted to get some cameras…read moreinstalled. Len was so helpful and knowledgeable. He arrived when he said he would and got our cameras installed. He and his apprentice were great at showing us how to review the footage and ensured us if we needed anything at all they were just a phone call away. Great company and would definitely recommend to anyone who needs some cameras installed. Thanks again.

This place is like a little evil of necessary-ness…read more There are a couple things that we can only get here. I used to hate coming in here after watching hordes of small children flip the pages of these plastic catalogue while also depositing the contents of their nasal passages upon everything they touched. Booger covered sales literature was placed throughout the room and your likelihood of hitting one of those snot mines was 100%. But Argos stepped up and create a lovely app that lets you order and pay for the thing you want before you even hit the door. Difficult to do since they are all automated. So, no need to don the HazMat suit and put on the blue booties. Get online or pick up the app and leave the infested catalogues to Sneezy, Angry and Dopey over there.

Unlike other delivery stores they don't charge an arm and a leg, they pick a time that's convenient for you and they come on time unike some places that say they'll be there at some point 9 - 9. I mean good grief, how long is a piece of string? I particularly like Argos for electronics, their laptops are good prices as are cameras and they always have the top of the range brands. I recently got myself a very classy Rotary watch from here that came with a three year guarantee and you can't go wrong with a good quality Swiss watch. Argos stockss everything and the staff in this branch are so helpful so you'll never be dissapointed with a visit here!

It may be summer to the Scottish folks, but to this Florida girl, my teeth were chattering. That breeze off the loch was numbingly cold. We walked around for a good bit, reaching the waters edge, to touch the coolness and watch the bots on the waves. It was a peaceful time of day. Not too many folks out yet, but you could tell (it was a holiday weekend) that they'd be out in force soon. Kayaks and boats, water sports equipment is all for hire, this place is absolutely gorgeous.
