If you don't go for all the sumptuous sofas, chairs, beds, gifts, lights, dressers and a rather natty drinks cabinet built into a ship's trunk, then go for what is one of the city's best-looking buildings. Opened in 1903 and originally home to the Laurie & McConell department store, it has a stunning staircase that weaves up to a huge skylight, which bathes the space in light and air. Quality.

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.

Giulio is probably the only substantial luxury fashion boutique in Cambridge. This branch focuses…read moreon menswear and there is another women's shop on Sussex Street nearby. There is a considerable selection of casual and official wear from a variety of high end brands including Prada, Gucci, Zegna, D&G, Polo, etc. Prices are similar to what you'd be charged for the same items in brands' own boutiques in London. As most luxury retailers, they hold big sales twice a year offering to buy remains from the previous season's collection more affordably.

Last time I was in there I couldn't see any APC or nudie or viv westwood, marc by marc jacobs and so on and so forth, but the foundations of any exclusive and stylish wardrobe can be built from this store. Bearing in mind you wouldnt find a shop in the same league that is also as well established as Giulio, you can be sure they're the one stop shop to the top cloth.
