I love that they have matches and candles I haven't seen at other department stores. I got some great ones but they came with an £11 price tag so be prepared to spend. I wish they'd have a little more variety of pricing so I could get all the stocking stuffers here too. Then I probably wouldn't need to go to other stores!

This Debenhams store is the anchor store for Centre Court Shopping Centre in Wimbledon. It isn't the biggest department but has the full variety of different departments. I had a successful shopping trip here today. The top floor had a lot of homeware and kitchen gadgets - fortunately, a lot of my friends are foodies and love to cook and entertain. The middle level is mainly ladies clothing but the ground floor yielded more success with menswear, fragrances & cosmetics and also a gift section with some fun things to give. It is better to give than receive and Debenhams made that easier for me to achieve today

The presence of a crappy sports direct franchise on the top floor rounds it off. At least it is consistent in its terribleness, and it gets two stars because its blue cross sales are worth braving.
