    Ealing Broadway Centre is a shopping Centre which includes retail shops of every nature clothes,…read morefootwear, books, cards, electrical, beauty, food, gift shops and some independent (food confectionery, cafe's)shops. In the middle of the shopping Centre you have a few statues and seating to rest your tired feet, or for your loved one to wait while you shop. On the top floor you have Argos and Ealing Central Library. On the ground floor mostly chains and the odd cheap non chain shop basically everything I mentioned above, plus Tesco's. I really like their Primark, I would say its on the level of Oxford street but without the crazy crowds. Ealing Broadway Centre is on the Uxbridge road so its convenient to get to, because all the buses pass their plus you have the Ealing Broadway station which is a 10minutes away. They also have their own car park as well. The shopping Centre is good for the locals, but I would not go out of my way here, because you can get majority of the stuff where you live, (I lived in Harrow at the time). I wished i tried some of the independent shops more....its a good shopping Centre and does the job.

    This is a pretty decent mall, and is a great option for those on the west end of town who can't…read morebrave Oxford Street (at least until the huge shopping development in Shepherd's Bush/White City finishes). Check out the website: it's quite useful, and lists all the shops. The usual necessities are there, including newly renovated Boots, M&S, Waterstones, and a relatively new Tesco Metro. Primark is currently building a new shop here and will finish early this summer, replacing a Beales that is now gone. The nice thing about this mall is that it's partly outside. Most hallways open directly to the outdoors rather than having closing doors. While this means its not quite a fully-heated refuge in winter, it makes it more an integrated part of the stroll through Ealing than a hermetically-sealed environment. The central courtyard is open to the sky which makes it nice when they have craft stalls or summer concerts there. Many of the shops face outwards from the building as well, or are in passages that lead out to the street. The bad thing about the open-air aspects of the mall is that people can still smoke in here. There's an Early Learning Centre (ELC) that makes great educational and interactive toys for kids. There also a Fat Face clothing store that appeals to my Canadian/comfortable/lumberjack side. The rear mall entrance does have glass doors, and these seem to get broken, cracked, or become non-functioning with disappointing frequency, and to be fixed with disappointingly slow speed. I feel that the choice of men's clothing on offer isn't great. And those who are used to hundreds of shops (a la Oxford Street) may find it limited. But if you're not looking for anything too unusual you'll probably find it here.

    This store is in a warehouse complex just east of North Acton station. The entrance to the complex…read moreis on Victoria Rd. It looks like an office complex and is hard to imagine any grocery stores are in it, so it was intimidating to walk through what looked like a gated area at first. I followed the winding path for 2-3min and found Unit 16 towards the end of this estate. The store is very spacious and has pretty much anything you ask for from a Japanese supermarket. I found snacks, sweets, rice, noodles, sauces, frozen food, drinks and some kitchen and household items. It even had a small shelf for Japanese books. (No photos allowed inside for some reason) This place can fulfill your needs for Japanese food. It is hidden, but don't hesitate to go in!

    LOVE. THIS. PLACE…read more Seriously, a Godsend. Being Japanese, I was concerned about how I would meet my Japanese food needs when I moved to London. I moved into a student housing accommodation in North Acton and was super duper excited to find that there was a Japan Centre 5 minutes away. It's a little tricky to find at first. It's in an industrial complex and you have to walk down the car entrance for a bit. The store is at the end on the left. Obviously, since this is a warehouse and not a full grocery store, the selection is limited compared to the Soho location. They have a small selection of fresh produce but mostly you will find nonperishable and frozen items. It's good enough and saves me from having to haul my butt to Soho. There's also a "sale" section with foods that are past their sell-by dates. It's mostly stuff that lasts a long time and the reduced price is an added bonus.

    I spent Sunday looking for an Indian outfit for a wedding. Having had bad experiences that day in 3…read moreother stores on Ealing Road, I stepped into KrishnaSarees and was greeted very quickly. To my relief I was offered help right away (I'm lost in these Indian clothes stores without any help!). I told the lady what I was looking for and she took me straight to their collection. I liked how the outfits are all hung up quite high so you can really see the full dress. In some of the other shops on Ealing road, they're all folded and packed away in plastic packaging and a shop worker needs to get them out for you to see...of all the shelves stacked full of folded outfits, you can't really know which you want them to show you since all you can see is the colour. So I was quite pleased with Krishna Sarees' set up, it helped me find something I liked quite quickly, bought the first thing I tried on. They recommend a local tailor to carry out any alterations you may need (90% of indian outfits will need to be altered to fit!). All the staff I spoke to were extremely helpful and not at all pushy like a lot of the other shops on Ealing Road. They have a website too which again, makes it better than other stores in Wembley (yes Indian clothes shopping has not yet universally caught up with modern times). They have a wide range of styles and prices too, allowing you to find something that suits your budget. I'd recommend this shop be your first stop if you're shopping in Wembley since it may be the only one you need to visit.

The last time I went there, I was buying some shoes an lingerie, lingerie was not a problem but I needed some help in the shoe section, not a single member of staff available on the whole floor to help, so I ended up buying just one pair as opposed to 2 that I wanted to purchase. When I then went to pay there was only one cashier behind the tills and 8 people ahead of me, the cashier kept ringing her bell for a good 15-20 minutes to call for more staff and no one came for over 20 minutes and then two people arrived at the same time and did not seem at all bothered when the other cashier said she'd been calling them for ages. At least 4 people who were behind me left the items they wanted to buy and walked out of the store, this is a sure fire way to lose business, this was around 6pm, people were saying they had just popped in for a quick shop after work and had trains to catch from Ealing Broadway. I never used to have any complaints with the level of service once I'd actually managed to get served but even that seems to have gone downhil of late, what a shame! The quality of the items for sale can't be faulted whether it be clothing, shoes, lingerie, food, drinks, household items, gifts, etc, but the queues really need to move faster. The sales can be fantastic with some really good bargains too! This level of service is not acceptable and I'm sad that this once fabulous store which I always felt had fanstastic customer service has sunk this low. I used to go to M&S at least twice a month and now I visit every other month only. And they wonder why business is down?! Management really need to improve service levels or lose more customers. When you have half an hour for lunch, you really don't want to queue for 20 minutes to get a sandwich!
