I had no idea this was here. Its a John lewis for home branch and the best thing is - FREE…read morePARKING!! Perfect for a quiet shop not battling traffic to get to Kingston then paying a large parking fee and long walk. Its full of items for the home aswell as food gifts - alcohol,pate,biscuits etc and gift sets They even had my favourite Kold cocktails so if you see the Lychee Martini has run out that because i have them in my freezer. Staff were helpful, no long queues and lots of display. I think i shall be getting some of my Xmas prezzies from here

A somewhat depressing agglomeration of outlet/seconds/remainder vendors, housed in what used to be…read morean Allders department store. All feels somewhat temporary, but that said, that are gems to be found - you just need to look past the grim surroundings and ferret about; for example, for those more sylph-like than me, there was one "bit" that specialised in Nicole Farhi samples. The downside was, as many of them were "one-offs" or pre-production items, none of them had size labels on them. There are also a range of furniture, household, and toy sections, as well as clothing. Thinking of it as a quirkier ( and much better stocked - at least for the moment) TK Maxx. Happy hunting !

Every time I go shopping in Croydon I park in Central car park! It's not the cheapest car park but…read moreI feel safe leaving my car here for long hours and it's central to Croydon shops. So the two main shops I visit here is house of fraiser and debenhams, they are multi floor stores and I tend to buy my luxury items here like underwear makeup perfume and dresses. The other Beaty of these stores is that they have a personal shopper if you have limited time, though book in advance they can get busy!

Lots of shops which we all know along side some smaller "tat" selling ones. Don't get me wrong some…read moreof the tat selling ones actually have some useful stuff in. Since the demise of Alders there have been a few more empty shops within the area. With the development of the Croydon "Westfield" soon to begin I guess there will be lots of new shops coming to town. The variety of shops is still good and you can get almost everything you want. Prices vary but that is to be expected, the price of parking is something of an issue as you have to pay £2:50 for anything under two hours parking. So if you only want to go to one shop thing about where you will park to get best value.

Good old Debenhams, long standing department store in Croydon…read more Good variety of home and clothing with a multitude of concessions as well as their own line. Mens, womens and children clothing and shoes with frequent sales, time it right and you can get some great deals. Also has own restaurant and, in this branch, they have a fancy dress area which is useful for the random fancy dress parties you might get invited to!

I would describe this mall as a bigger better version of Kingsgate Mall. The have everything you'd…read moreneed but not anything like a high street. All the major shops are located here. They have New Look clothing store, Boots, M&S, so you could make this a one stop shopping deal. The mall is well laid out and very clean. Seems like the central place to meet in Croydon.

Now by now everyone has heard that Whitgift would soon be transformed into the new Westfield…read moreshopping mall! It is currently very hard to believe given that half the shops in this place now sit vacant and those that remain have a certain tacky vibe about it with a handful of bargain stores (don't get me wrong! You can find some real gems in these places) and because of how the lack of shops have driven many visitors away and the Westfield plans have been delayed in like forever, I hope that the new Westfield would bring back customers and visitors in droves. It's such a shame that the Westfield plans have been delayed as many businesses have moved out too soon in anticipation for it. Still, nothing beats walking down north end reminiscing about the good olden days because when Westfield finally arrives, gone would be the brown and beige floor tiles and the 90s feel that makes this Croydon shopping centre so unique. #LiveLifeLikeLDN

Toxie however is great and should be viewed by all fans of comedy. Beware the large bags of sweets and chocolates, they're not good value for money. Best Buy?

So you have got Disney Land, Genie Land, Money Land and now.. Pound Land! I love this place. Yes!…read moreEverything here is a pound. It is incredible the things that I can get with a whole pound. It is not just 'a pound' in Pound Land but it is 'a whole pound'. From toiletries, to stationery, software, handmade items, pet care items, plus many more. You will find it here and will leave with a big smile on your face. New stocks come in every week so keep your eyes peeled because you never know what valuables you could rake in at the price of one pound.
