It may have changed to a name of lesser quality but the stock is still decent. This shop sells mostly CD's and vinyl. There is also a selection of DVDs, T-shirts and tickets for local gigs can be purchased here. This place is well worth a browse on your lunch break. There are many hidden treasures to be found. Just think, Aladdins cave without the push and shove of heaving H.M.V. The prices are relatively similar though. The genres range from dub-step to black metal.

A great little model shop with very friendly and welcoming staff…read more Its location is a little different due to being in unit of office in an industrial estate, but dont be put off, I am glad I wasnt. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and happy to discuss modelling with a begininer such as myself. The train side of the business is growing I believe but they already have all the basics and plenty to browse through.

Not sure how I found myself in here many years ago to be honest (kingston-upon-thames branch)…read more I'm.not a big model train, car or plane fan but if you are, I'm guessing this would be your version of heaven! There's model-kits, pre-made models, tiny figurines...a lot of things! I'm not even quite sure what I was looking at half of the time... It's actually quite good to have a look at the displays and admire the intricate artwork gone into the models. It's sad the stores are no longer able to be found.

I can not recommend "Trackmodeller" highly enough! It is a…read morerare quality that takes the proposed vision of a layout within the imagination of the customer and makes that vision a reality. From day one, Jimmy (Trackmodeller) was available and in contact throughout the process as ideas were explored and any potential problems resolved. Jimmy is a true craftsman with a genuine and well deserved, pride in his work. The finished layout was more than I could have expected. What had started as a simple "wish list" is now a well crafted and beautiful layout that I know will provide many years of enjoyment. Thank you, Trackmodeller. Thank you, Jimmy.

This New Look store is just right! It gets the balance right between the departments and it is easy…read moreto navigate, despite being massive. The first time I went to Eldon Square, I thought that this was the anchor tenant because of how sheer the size was from outside. I was proven wrong however by the huge branches of John Lewis, Fenwick and Marks & Sparks later in the centre. The mens department is large and they have the best selection out of any New Look store I've visited. Most city centre stores are messy, claustrophobic and dark but this new shop is bright, fabulous and modern. It is on 3 floors and there is easy access between them with a staircase, escalators and even a lift providing access to the upper floors. (Unlike the old store) The accessories bit is great as well and I always end up making some last minute purchases when I'm queuing! Not a great layout. I read an article that shops put the essentials at the back/on a high floor so that you go through the whole shop. Well it certainly works alright!
