I like that it's never too busy (excluding holiday/Christmas times) so you can walk around and have…read morea good look at the stores. They have an excellent range of shops for women's dresses (Reiss, Hobbs etc) and lots of athlete attire stores like Nike and Under Armour. I often find the Reiss discounts are some of the best for the quality you're getting. They also have a good food court with fast food and some nicer places like Wagamama. The Cadbury's store is great if you're looking for bags of mini chocolates. My best friend loves strawberry creams and they sometimes have entire bags of just them. At Christmas they have some great items too, but not very heavily discounted. Nice place to walk around and a great shopping centre for wedding outfits etc.

I really like the clothes and the service here. Many times have been recognized by the staff and…read moreit's that personal service that makes a difference. The clothes are of a good quality. Do try before you buy as the cut of the suits does vary, one time a slim fit suited my shape perfectly and another time the slim fit suit from the same range fitted like a sack cloth. My favorite sweater a red cashmere one is also from here and my favorite blazer.

A huge store full of goodies. It's worth going every week as the stock is constantly changing. Very…read moregood at the mo. for ski wear. Brilliant selection of gifts - perfume, bags, toiletries, food items. Have recently opened a jewellery section which is in the centre of the store - some really lovely stuff (watches included). Very good for underwear - look out for all the top names Babywear excellent and some unusual clothing. Also sell toys, bedding and homeware. Huge car park. Small cafe inside. Best to allow plenty of time to search through all the racks - can't be done in a hurry. I find the best time to go on a Saturday is just as the store is opening at 9.;00 - otherwise daytime in the week.

TK Maxx is a good place to get designer labels cheaply. The store in Swindon is away from the town…read morecentre, but is near to the train station, so long as you know where you are going. There is also lots of free car parking. They have racks and racks of clothes and shoes etc. Sometimes, there is so much to look through on the rails that it can be off-putting. The stuff is not laid out well to enable you to browse easily. In the Swindon store, there is a small cafe where you can grab a cake and a cup of coffee when you have shopped to drop! There are not many other places nearby, it is a bit out on a limb.

I walked into the Swindon Branch of Deacons on Wood Street today while on my lunch break…read more I was there to collect a damaged Tag Heuer watch. Deacons had quoted £800 pounds to repair it. I had told a younger, male staff member there when I dropped the watch off, that if the repair cost was too high, I would probably replace the watch. And maybe, as I was approaching 50, I would consider something like a Rolex. Today, I was greeted by a woman who has probably never heard of customer service. I found her manor very rude. There were about 4 or 5 other staff in the shop area. Two of them were servicing an actual customer. But there were also one or two carrying out tasks that could have been done when they were free of customers. My point is. Not one of the staff was interested in acknowledging me. There was no 'Can I help you sir? 'or 'I'll be with you in a minute sir' - even though I visibly browsed their most expensive watch displays. The good news is I've saved myself about £3,500.
