I was here to get some clothes for my four year old daughter, the prices were so good, I ended up spending double what I'd planned. She ended up with several pairs of jeans RRP £70 for £10-15 each, 3 coats all £15 each with RRPs way North of £60 each and a whole bunch of tops at a similar massive discount. It was Chelsea on the cheap really. It's not just for kids and adults are well catered for too. There is also a homeware department on the first floor.if you need a frying pan or some linens. Parking is plentiful and public transport is just as easy. I cannot recommend this place enough.

It's one of a dying breed, the independent department store. Upstairs, shoppers can buy sewing notions, polyester granny smocks and aprons, low end Wedgewood lines, Pyrex, and linens. A nice range of linens is offered from practical no-iron percale to sheets and pillows by Monsoon. On the ground floor, clothes are grouped into boutique-like clusters. Evans has a section, so does Monsoon, so does Top Shop. Cosmetic counters flank the front of the store, next to the wig shop and hair salon and a few sticks of furniture are sold in the basement.

It is easy to get to at the connections of A13 and the A406, it is about 10 minutes away from the Canary Wharf district. I started going there for office purposes to buy Stationery but then just discovered the Next Outlet and the Boots Outlet towards the rear of the retail park - it is my weekly haunt, as I go to rummage through the Next store and pick up work clothes for as little as £1 during sales periods. I now also buy all my makeup, cosmetics, perfume and shampoos from the Boots outlet which are between £.50p and £2.50 each. I picked up lots of N07 eye shadow makeup and lipsticks for 50p each. there is absolutely nothing wrong with them at all. There is an Argos, Maplins, Pets at Home, B&Q, PC World and other stores around. It is a 5 min driving distance to Gallions Reach which has all the high street labels all in an excellent and easy to get to location.

As ever the grumpy, unhelpful, staff throughout e, was appalling the rude looks when you try to interrupt conversations of groups of staff having a chat about the weekend or their hair, was a recurrent theme. Worst: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HOUSE OF FRASER!!!!!!!!!!!! A lady in the jewellery accessories dept who was busy chatting about her weekend with a colleague leaning against the glass arms folded,, when I went to pay for something from the next section at her till, products from (Crabtree & Evelyn) I asked if I could pay at her till, couldn't believe her response, she said couldn't you find another till? I said no actually they are all deserted see and I showed her all the empty tills around? She then said, oh I can't take any cards at the till anyway. It was unbelievable , how rude she was. In the same store I think it was the towels section, two customer service girls were chatting away not doing any work, whilst we stood there waiting to ask the price on something, they then turned around rolled their eyes and gave a fobbing off type of response. In another section I wanted to buy the last sweater that was on a mannequin the guy with a very unusually deep voice, and dark hair took it off the mannequin then shouted at the poor helpful lad working there, and whispered make sure you put a security tag on it before you hand it to them! I think Bluewater is considerably more upmarket and better than Lakeside, I guess a lot of the Essex locals work at Lakeside and maybe haven't attended any customer service training but BlueWater is so much better, and so Lakeside seems really downmarket not just because of the staff, Essex role model Jordan was in that day, so need I say more? If it wasn't for the bargains I wouldn't have gone, but someone really needs to do more mystery shopping and undercover checks across the place, there is no reason why a bit of good decent customer service can't be achieved. Really should become a mystery shopper, Lakeside is shocking Gonna stick to Westfield & Bluewater in future most probably!

Maybe you could say it's the Harrods of Ilford. I am surprised it's still open. It's catered for an older market - lots of clothes for pensioners. No longer do I puzzle about where they get their specific 'fashions' from. I went in for a zip and it's perfect for that - a huge haberdashery section. I am very glad it's still open. Bodgers is a wonderful old niche department store.

The goods on sale are good, they do price match & offer good warranty on electrical goods. Their customer service is beyond fantastic, NO quibble return policy, their repair or replace of defects is second to none. What can i say, i will always check with them before i buy any electrical goods. As for clothing, they are expensive, but their selection is comprehensive. I know they are a private company, but i feel they are trust able and honest with their products and dealings with their customers, a pitty more companies are not like them.. The location of this store is excellent, there are numerous other stores in locality, however, you will be in this store for hours, which is also good as there are also food outlets in bluewater to keep you fed before you shop more!. Parking is also no problem ,as there is plenty of spaces. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I used it but the original price was a lot more then everywhere else. So I did the price match form, they said I couldnt do it because I used the reward. This makes absolutely no sense. So even with a so called "special discount" I still paid more then most other places. Also had I gone to other places such as "Argos" "Nectar" "Tesco" etc I would have also got loyalty points. Its a bit of a scam. I did reach to head office but they didnt care less. I wouldnt shop there again now. One thing I hate more then anything is a complany that tries to treat its customers like absolute idiots, all so they can profit.

John Lewis guarentees are not what they seem - Machine failed twice due to manufacturing defects…read moreand a replacement request by customer declined. It has to fail 3 times apparently. That's a lot of trouble shooting at home, engineer visits, days off and call centre pass arounds without a functioning washer/dryer for your family - only to have very little faith it will last much longer than 3 years (for quite alot of money). The lifespan might not be much more than 3 years. Think carefully if you are happy with this approach. Never asked John Lewis before for a replacement in 20 years. John Lewis passed the buck for machine replacement request to Electrolux on this one. It seems the guarantee action and control is with Electolux rather than John Lewis. Electrolux refused and John Lewis went along with it. John Lewis are acting very close to the line on consumer protection law based on their advertising claims. Karim from customers services was very helpful but could not do any more. Apparently Jennifer from Electrolux stated 2 repair claims in the last year coming up to guarantee end did not merit a replacement and the standard of goods is normal. Take from this what you will.

The store is small offers a limited selection of high-end British gifts. The store felt typical of other stores in the station, it was nice enough with a clock and train times on display on a screen in-store. No travel accessories, food and drink etc like many places nearby. Surely as they own supermarket chain Waitrose having a small fridge would be useful and very easy to do? A nice brand in the station but it's a strange branch by John Lewis standards, with a few missed opportunities. 2*
