Theres hardly anything interesting in there to see, seeing as the larger department stores like Debenhams and BHS is in close reach. Beales has really outdated itself making itsself a failure. There product range is poor, the items are pricey, the customer service is very poor and all seem to be stuck up attitude. The interior design is extremely poor and lighting is bad. If this store doesn't improve, it will definitely go down hill.

We got to experience it during the Christmas holidays, which was nice for sight seeing. It opens at 9 am on weekdays, and the outside doors opened to the public about 5 minutes before. Many of the stores open soon after. The 3rd story consists of a variety of restaurants, all of which were closed that early in the day. Instead, quite a few coffee shops were open, including a lot of Costa's. The center of the mall consists of elevators and a set of escalators. Even at 9, there were quite a few people working and browsing.

It gets no more than that though because it cost me £15 to park there for 4 and a half hours (£4.50 up to 4 hours, £15 for any time after that. Cheeky b*stards). Also, the pay machines don't take cards, and there are no cash machines on site - you have to walk to the High Street for those. I know this because I couldn't find a slot for my card, had no money on me and had to ask the security man in his little booth where the nearest cashpoint was, explaining that I wasn't from Winchester. He very helpfully replied 'High Street'. Because I know where that is, don't I? Anyway, shops. There were some. But lots were empty and closed up.

As an abstract artist, I had a very success Spring art exhibition in Salisbury in March 2018 (despite the Ukrainian poisoning debacle). In contrast, I haven't been able to get any response to my enquiries about holding an art exhibition either from the City council's facilities or commercial art galleries in the city. It's no surprise to me that the Winchester has lots of empty shops. Some of these could be used for pop-up art exhibitions and other attractions. I get regular offers to exhibit my abstracts in the USA as well as cities in the UK like Bristol and Birmingham. It's a surprise and a bit of a shock that an artist like me living and working in Hampshire can't exhibit my work in the county's capital.

I do love House of Fraser and this one seemed really nice as well. But we came in here with one…read morepurpose when I met some friends on a sunny Saturday in Guildford. Lunch! Noone had tried the tea room at the top of this store so we thought, why not?! We can be middle class Brits for a lunch... Well we can try! We ascended into the gods of 4th floor to a typically British styled tea room - quaint patterned crockey and duck egg blue stylings with a glass roof so you could embrace the sun's warmth. There was also a balcony area with a view of Guildford's rooftop buildings (not the best view ever I thought, one side had a massive radio antenna next to the window) but it was cold and had been raining so we thought better not! Little bit confused on entry as it seemd like a cafe where you seat yourself and then go to the till to order, but people were also being table served. After standing for 30 seconds like lemons and having noone come to show us a table, we found one ourselves and proceeded to natter and catch up as true Brits do. hen after the 5th waiter came along in quick succession to take our order, we thought 'let's look at the menu first!' Side point, one gripe about this placed (I've mentioned this in my reviews before), I HATE BEING WATCHED IN A RESTAURANT. You shouldn't have to feel that kind of pressure choosing your food. I did choose however, not feeling too hungry I went with a savoury scone - very high tea indeed! I have to admit, they were boasting about their scone selection here but they were right to boast. Amazing choice and the cheese scone came warm with a generous helping of creamy butter, it was amazing! At £4 I would expect so!! A pot of tea to finish things along, love the crockery here, typically British patterning. Friends had a sundried tomato tart, which also looked really good. They also served freshly squeezed lemonade here! Very fancy. Was it overpriced? I have had better in London for the same price. But this isn't London, Guildford is known for being pricey. Not only Guildford, where there is less choice and hence less competition in the realms of afternoon tea, but House of Fraser, which is a respected establishment. So yes it was overpriced, but I can't say I wouldn't return to work my way through their scone menu!
