All items are reasonably priced and great service always given. A nice local business rather than a large chain that does not care and only cares about its profits and not the need of the customer. A place your kid will love with all the sweets, toys and magazines in store. Toys are often branded toys such as Thomas the tank etc - not cheap tacky stuff as some shops sell.

As far as town centre newsagents go, this one is pretty standard and I'm not going to hype it up. I…read moream going to mention that there are usually some good deals going on bags of crisps and pre-mixed pick n mix sweets. It's run by an older couple who are always friendly so you trust that the sweets without wrappers have been dealt with clean hands. A fairly small shop in size but a good selection of chocolate and drinks. You'll stop here before heading to the Metro station.

This branch of WHSmith is the most reviewed branch in Newcastle city centre of WHSmith with an…read moreimpressive 12 reviews on Yelp, including those merged across from Qype. It is probably the largest store I saw on my recent trip to the Tyne and Wear Region of WHSmith, which included branches in Newcastle Central Railway Station, Durham and the Gateshead Metrocentre. This branch was my favourite out of the ones mentioned mainly down to the size, it had a good product range for items such as lever arch folders, drinks and snacks etc. The drink selection was good however I found the 2 for £2.50 promotion to be a tad expensive, considering Superdrug nearby runs a promotion to have 2 for £2, which works out £1.80 with my Unidays Discount however sadly the range they have is much poorer than the WHSmith branch, when comparing the branch nearby to this one. There also is a huge staircase in the store, with the upper floor having some more WHSmith floor space as I recall and a post office. The staff member working seemed friendly enough, although I did have to take longer checking out my items as for some reason the self-service tills wouldn't recognise the 2 for £2.50 offer on my drinks, meaning it would take longer as I had to go to the manned checkout, then I had to go through the slightly longer process of finding my card after being told they don't accept Apple Pay by an employee, only to go on to find out they did accept it and the member of staff who served me didn't know about it. This is a large, decent branch of WHSmith, staff training on payment methods, machines recognising offers and pricing needs to be worked off at paramount importance, but until then this is still a decent store and a nice branch of the chain to warrant a three-star rating.

WHSmith is one of those shops that makes you feel really depressed as soon as you walk through the…read moredoors. This store in particular is very grotty and every visit to it so far has left me feeling deflated. The blue fluorescent lighting makes the shop horrible and dingy and the staff look like they are working in a prison. The store is far too big for what it is (a newsagent) and they never seem to have enough stock to justify the space. Especially upstairs. All that is up there is the post office and stationery, with a huge empty gap in the middle. I only really come here to buy snacks on the go as they have a good selection of confectionery, including American chocolates. I would have left a 1 star review but the confectionery lifts it up to 2. But as a whole, WHSmith works better in the travel industry, like in train stations and airports because their main high street stores are always eerily quiet and depressing, with the only noises being your footsteps and the occasional beeping of the self checkout.

The staff are friendly and enjoy a chat with you even if you just pop in for a packet of sweets or a paper. They are open from early morning until late evening so you can always depend on them in case you forget the evening paper or your lottery ticket! Great little local shop that sell a bit of everything.

Like most WHSmith stores following the same refurbishment, it now looks brighter as well as more modern and welcoming compared to something out of the 1970s. Prices are a little high but the product range certainly isn't too bad, with a selection of greetings cards, stationery, drinks and books, generally there are better stores within Metrocentre for pretty much everything this place sells, but it acts as a one-stop shop in a useful location. The staff seem friendly enough. 3* - This store is fine but is pretty much the token WHSmith you see in every town and every shopping centre and doesn't go much beyond that.

It is not somewhere you would normally pass or visit unless you live or work in the area. The store sells newspapers and magazines as well as sweets, snacks, drinks and many other items commonly associated with newsagents. The store is small with a dark facade. The front is organised, clean and neat but quite busy with displays and stock. Inside the displays are clean and neat and are always well stocked. It is easy to get to anything you need and there is always a staff member within reach. The displays are organised in a logical fashion with everything visible and in order. Price-wise it matches and does not exceed other similar businesses in the area. I find the staff helpful and chatty and they always hover around should you need any assistance!
