It's a bit like the shops you get at train stations, except it seems to be independent, so hooray for it! You can buy newspapers and magazines here - the range isn't brilliant, but it has most things - and basic snacks and drinks.

There's a great range of magazines and newspapers, and it always makes me feel like I'm abroad when I see foreign papers.
