They do all the usual Smiths products, Books, stationery, cards, mags, DVD's music and gaming. I like this store as it is all on one level, no going upstairs. They have a great range of stuff. WH Smith have an older feel to them a bit like woollies, I suppose it is because I shopped there when I was a teenager. Parking is not great for this shop, a bit of a walk whichever end of the brunel centre you park.

There is a layby outside the shop for parking, but it only has room for a couple of cars and is also shared by a few other small shops. The shop itself is bigger than it seems from the outside and sells a large range of newsagent style products and other essentials, and is also an off-licence. The staff are always friendly, polite and helpful.

It's a bit like the shops you get at train stations, except it seems to be independent, so hooray for it! You can buy newspapers and magazines here - the range isn't brilliant, but it has most things - and basic snacks and drinks. It's right by the entrance near Boots, so is great for popping in on your way past. It's quite hard to stop and browse because of being here, and because it's so open, so best to leap in and buy the essentials before heading off.

Martins does what you expect a newsagent should do.

I like the way that different Smiths stores have different magazines depending on their location (train magazines at a train station), but it's frustrating if you rely on your favourite mag being there for a potentially boring journey, only to find that particular branch doesn't have it! Still, there are usually some reasonable books, alongside the trashy travel novelettas, and there's always the paper. Their sweets are nothing special and rather overpriced: I remember when Haribo used to be 99p a bag! It may not be that much in many places anymore, but there are certainly lots of places in Oxford selling it cheaper than here. The same goes for chocolate, and they seem to stock a disproportionate amount of Cadburys. Still, if you've got the craving, you'll buy it - I certainly do!
