Banburys is a huge department store, it incorporates a lot of concession store and also a huge…read moreperfume counter and homeware section. Upstairs is a restaurant that is well frequented by locals looking for a quiet break in the middle of their shopping. It is a higher end store and therfore tends to be quite pricy but it is well alid out with an great selection of products.

This Banburys is a very big store. When you go in the door you come straight to the fragrance and…read moremake up counters. There are always really friendly staff here who are happy to advice you on what products are best for you, they also let you sample the fragrances. The you will get to the clothes and shoes. Then at the very back of the store they have the bits you can buy for your house like plates, kettles, and glasses etc.. I do find some of the bit a a bit expensive but you can see they are good quality. Then to the left of the shop they sell craft stuff such as wool for knitting, cross stitches, patterns etc.. There is a another entrance door here so if you are just after buying some wool you can go in this way. Upstairs there is more clothes and underwear for sale and there is a big cafe. They sell some lovely food in the cafe we often go there when we have been shopping and need to sit down.

This BHS is quite big it has an upstairs. Which is where most of the childrens clothes and some of…read morethe household products are. I find Bhs can be expensive but they do have great sales. There is an escalator straight infront of you when you go in to go upstairs. I love the Christmas decorations that they sell in there as there unique but are slightly expensive. Being honest I haven't brought much clothes for myself in there but I have brought my daughters stuff in there when it has been reduced.

Weird and quirky but you can get some serious bargains. I got myself a £10 hose from Wilkos but it…read moredidn't have a connector for my outdoor tap. Found a much better one for £9.50 at Trago with all the kit and a stand-up reel to boot! Also really love the big Pets section downstairs, it's easy to miss but I have to buy dogfood by the ton so it's handy

This is a fun shopping place for getting bargains! There is an overwhelming amount of goods ranging…read morefrom clothes, food, electronics, furnitures, etc.... you name it! In a country where cost of living is notoriously expensive, it was refreshing to find such a good discount store! I bought super awesome metallic car floor mats for 10 quids(about $17-20) which probably has at least $50 value, and also bought an ipod charger for mere 3 quids($5-6)! You rock, Trago Mills!!! Ta very much!!

There are loads and loads of shops in the Quadrant like HMV, Game , W H smiths , Clinton cards and Debenhams. It can get pretty packed out with shoppers at peak times and especially with the run up to christmas. At christmas there is usually a lovely christmas tree with lots of decorations which make it look really nice. The shopping centre always looks clean and tidy and you will always find a cleaner pottering around.

The Quadrant is like many indoor shopping centres across the UK. It mostly houses chain stores like…read moreHMV, Clarks, WHSmiths, Faith and so on and so forth. Shops you find in every town in Britain. The Quadrant itself is quite pleasant though, it has a predominently glass roof which allows it to be very bright and airy inside. There's a gallery cafe which looks out on to the main concourse of the shopping centre which is great for people watching. The bus station also comes out of one end, so finding it is very easy, and also you won't have far to carry bags to get a bus. Or even to get to your car if you choose to park in the NCP which also adjoins the Quadrant. You can also get to Swansea Market via an entrance in the Quadrant. The largest store by far is Debehams, which is a large department store and takes up almost an entire wing of its own. ANECDOTE: I was sick on the doors of Debehams one Christmas as I was shopping for presents and very rapidly came down with a virus. There are public toilets (free) upstairs which are clean and well maintained. The buidling is decorated according to the seasons, and a large Christmas tree is the focus during the winter.

I've only ever properly explored the part of Rossiters that sells lots of gifts and knick knacks,…read morejust near the shop's entrance inside Royal Arcade - but in this section alone there's lots of lovely stuff I'd like to be able to afford! From funky ice cube trays to fridge photo frames, it's a great place to pick up small presents. There are some beautiful greetings cards, items of jewellery, well-made children's toys, a few men's accessories, travel bags, purses, umbrellas and much more. The whole place is more intimate than large department stores such as House of Fraser or John Lewis, and the feeling is one of quality over quantity. For me, the gift and homeware areas are probably the most appealing, but glancing into their other 'departments' they have a Homes & Gardens area, a kitchen department, a range of furniture, plus some fabrics, lamps, mirrors, and more. They also offer an interior design service, though I dread to think how much that costs.

Shops like this get me really excited. I'm a big girl when it comes to furniture, home and…read morekitchenware. I just want everything. If I had my way, my house would look like something out of 50s magazine. This store is surprisingly big, considering it's in an arcade, and there is so much in there. The kitchen section is my favourite, because it sells the most adorable retro baking things and teapots and really funky utensils and gadgets that I've never seen anywhere else. Their gift section is also fantastic with brands like L'Occitane and Burt's Bees for toiletries, some really pretty scarves and jewellery, and then beautiful gift bags and paper to wrap them in. It's a shame this department store is hidden away and now has to compete with John Lewis, because it sells such beautiful things and it could be so easily missed if you didn't know about it. It's expensive, but everything is so nice that if I want something, I have to have it however much it costs.
