A fairly large WHSmith store in Churchill Square Shopping Centre, Brighton. It is over two floors,…read morewith no lift or escalator connecting those floors, so if you don't fancy the stairs you'd have to use the lift just outside the mall entrance, or go in and out of the shopping centre and use the Western Road entrance, which is by far the nicest entrance, it stands out more, is all glass, much more modern than the entire store (Similar to JD which is two stores away) This store is pretty large for WHSmith standards, it has a decent selection of most items including books and newspapers, the stationary section is much larger than other stores which are down to the fact it has a small Post Office inside, so this is what you'd expect. Housing the only Post Office I found in the city centre of Brighton is also a bonus for the store. They did have a small selection of greetings cards and beverages too. The store didn't have as big of a technology section as other stores such as Meadowhall Sheffield, and could have felt much more modern at times, it seems to be a more traditional WHSmith store, compared to my local branch Manchester - Market Street, which might be smaller but feels nicer and much more modern. A decent store, especially the Western Road side, and pretty large by WHSmith standards, not having a lift/escalator in-between the store is a bit of a letdown, especially for someone who like me is lazy and doesn't want the journey between two floors of the same store to take that much longer. 3* - Large store with some modern features and a satisfactory selection, including a Post Office in a useful location, despite having many things which let it down including that they allow pushy salesman at the front of the store, who harass you and approach you when you are just trying to come into the store, which is not okay!

Awful service from the post office , long queues , obnoxious rude man serving, will not use againread more

If you're visiting Brighton for a few days and want to take a bit of the seaside away with you,…read moreforget filling your pockets with stones from the beach. They're too heavy and they'll make your suitcase smell really salty. Instead, go to Zoing Images and treat yourself to a photo printed onto canvas. They have cool images of the pier, the amusement arcade, the the seagulls, the West Pier and lots more. All the images are available as mini canvases or triptychs and they also offer a service where you can get your own photo blown up as art. If you don't fancy a print, they also stock wall and desk clocks, perspex blocks, photo books and an impressive range of Polaroid and Lomo cameras. Personally, I'm after the limited edition, Jack White Lomo. Anyone got a spare few hundred dollars?

If I lived in Brighton I'd finally get good at using my lomo camera. Know why? Zoing Image…read more Why doesn't London have anything like this? Just spending ten minutes in this small, friendly shop last week browsing through the piles of arty photo books, impressive range of Lomography cameras and accessories and mini canvases for printing inspired me so much I dusted off my Holga as soon as I got home and have been snapping away with renewed vigour ever since. Imagine if it was my local camera shop! Oh, the money I'd spend... On my way out I congratulated Serge, the owner of the shop, on his choice of stock and particularly the use of mini canvases for customised printing. Instead of paying £50+ to get one image put on a medium canvas, get a series of three on smaller canvases for less than £20. Since finding Serge on Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/34875369@N08/) I've discovered that the shop was primarily opened as a way for him to sell his own images, but allowing people to get involved with their own photos is a great idea. I foolishly didn't think to ask if they do regular printing in the shop and the website is currently under construction, but next time I'm in Brighton I'll take along a few medium format films and see what Zoing can do for me. A shop like this is yet another great reason to spend time at the seaside, hurrah!
