There is a lift in each store making it accessible for disabled shoppers and thise with children. They do tend to be very busy at the weekends and during sales and there are often queues for the changing rooms. There is a very good sale just after Christmas with great reductions.

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.

Well worth a look around especially at Birthday/ Christmas time, or if you're buying a present for a couple with a new born. Very enticing window displays to tempt you to come in.

I loved the Grafton Center, though a lot of it stems from the fact that I lived across the street…read morefrom it when in Cambridge. It has a nice cinema, a music shop, and (i hope it is still there) an awesome cart that sold the best dried fruit and baklava ever. Not somewhere I'd recommend as a destination if you're there on holiday, but a good utilitarian mall for students.

Grafton centre is the best place I spend my Saturday mornings to afternoon. It has entertainment…read morerestaurants and shops to satisfy your shopping addiction if you know what I mean. Shops present are Next, H&M, Debenhams, Boot, Phone 4 u, Oasis, Millie cookies, La senza, Claire's accessories and many more designer shops all under one roof. The location in the city centre makes it sometimes exciting to leave your quiet room, sad you may think but it is quite thrilling. After my morning activities, I walk few mins to the bus stop to catch the park and ride bus all the way to the city centre. Then walk a short distance through the park to Grafton centre, where I fill my eyes with the things I can't afford and the things I can definitely go home with me. After all the shopping and the tired feeling, I stop at one of the restaurants to have my lunch before going home. It is a great way to spend ones Saturday and for family shopping.

I've visited this store many times and have only ever once come across a negative member of staff, every other time staff are knowledgeable, and clearly happy to assist. There is a cafe and an enclosed children's play area although I have not used those facilities. A fantastic everything-under-one roof for baby store!

However, i do find that for young children and babies, the clothing is generally over priced and not the best quality. This is a shame because the staff are lovely and really helpful they will always check stock if you can't find the size you want (unlike a lot of stores). A real mixed bag, but a loss for braintree if it goes!
