The store is large and easy to navigate, with wide aisles and products organised into clear sections that are well stocked. The queues are often short except during peak shopping times such as Saturday lunchtime. There are a number of good bundle deals and offers available, and reductions on higher priced items such as box sets.

Gamestation in Wolsey Place sells a range of new and preowned games for most consoles including…read moreNintendo Wii, Xbox 360, PS3, DS, PSP, PC and older cartridge consoles such as the Sega Megadrive and N64. They also sell gaming accessories and some other items such as Pacman belt buckles and Mario badges etc. The store is quite small and cluttered, which can be part of its charm, but often means that it can end up quite busy, and during peak times such as Christmas it can be very difficult to find any room inside the store at all. The music played in the store is usually theme music from games, and sometimes this is interspersed with Japanese artists, which is pleasant enough but definitely appeals to a certain sort of gamer. The bargains to be had here are sometimes considerable though, considering there is rarely anything wrong with preowned games the prices can come down significantly. I have noticed occasionally they have had sale stickers on items that have in fact only been reduced by a penny though, so I would be wary about assuming something is going to be a good deal just because there is a sale sticker. The staff are helpful and friendly, and seem genuinely knowledgeable about the products that they sell.

Possibly the most useful shop in Woking, as it is the new (as of 2008) home of the Woking Post…read moreOffice! A gigantic selection of magazines on all topics, including my favourite crafting section (Burda style, Sewing today, ...), a fairly good variety of books, greetings cards, stationery (in the basement) craft supplies, children's books, and a few sweets! One of the largest W.H. Smiths I've seen. (most are in stations though, so this one has a distinct advantage)

This store has two levels and stocks the expected range of books, stationery, magazines, art and…read morecraft materials and some software. The store is well organised, so it is easy to find things within it, and there is a clear sign which states what you can find on each level by the staircase. They do have a habit of moving things around though, which makes it slightly more difficult to find things if you always expect them to be where you're used to. The move of the Woking Post Office to the lower concourse has been controversial, and arguably not beneficial to either the post office or Whsmiths. The service is generally slow and crowded, with few windows open at the same time. It is also poor to access for less able people, such as children or the elderly. The staff have always been friendly and helpful to customers.

If gaming and role play is your thing then Games Workshop in Woking is a superb store…read more They stock all manner of role play kits and accessories for the fantasy gamer. Staff couldn't be more helpful or enthusiastic. As a non-gamer I was given some excellent advice which turned out to be just right. There was no compulsion to buy the biggest and best sets and, in fact, almost the opposite was true. They didn't want you wasting money on a hobby that might not be enjoyed and so suggested ways of introducing the gaming without too much expense. The store runs gaming sessions which are very popular with the young lads. These take place after school and on Saturdays and Sundays. The staff are also happy to teach anyone how to play at any time. There are two large scene tables in the store and plenty of play figures. As a visitor who felt a bit daunted by this whole role play thing this store couldn't have been more helpful. Recommended.
