Nice enough shopping Centre, becoming a little sparse recently though with many store's closing…read moredown. Still have some decent one's though - New Look is pretty good but very small, 2 sports places, Boots, BHS, Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury's ect along with a couple of Cafe's and Mobile Phone store's. Best place being Thornton's though (woohoo chocolate!!) but it's tiny. Food court has a bit to offer too but jam packed with que's at the weekend. Saturday you can wait at KFC for anything up to an hour!! Then there's Burger King, Spud U Like and Subway which rarely have any que's at all. Lot's of parking but come the weekend there doesn't seem to be quite enough. Good place to go if you need to pick up a few bit's but any serious shopper is better off heading to Bluewater or Lakeside.

All you need under one roof. You have your grocery shops, card shops, clothes and shoes. Along with…read morethe sewing stools, and phone shops and coffee shops. Of an evening there are excercise classes above the food court generally aerobics or yoga. It is a nice shopping centre with a lot of natural light. They have a market on sundays which has a variety of stalls from olives and cheese to jewellery. The Farmers Market they have once a month has some fantastic foods you really should try

Really good…read morequality and well priced, not sure on age ranges but I buy stuff for both mine aged 2 and 5 so pretty varied. Staff are friendly enough, store is really easy to access, no problems taking the buggy in even when its busy. Great sales, they really slash the prices and I've picked up some great bargains which is great as the kids go through clothes at a rate of knots! Plenty of parking and easy to find.

Lakeside Primark is really big and is set on 3 floors. It stocks lots more than the smaller stores…read moredo, so its great for cheap shopping. However, every time i visit the Primark in Lakeside its always a mess, its more like a jumble sale. If you visit on a Saturday or Sunday you need to get there early, otherwise you will have to look on the floor to find what your looking for. The mens section is really good here, my partner doesn't really do Primark shopping, but loves this store. He has bought many different nice hooded jumpers, and they have all lasted a long time because the quality is great. I never seem to see many members of staff walking around the store making it tidy. The tills are always packed, you normally have to line up for 10-15 minutes to pay, but if you've got yourself a basket of bargains you really don't mind. Tip - get there early, and use the parking located right outside the store.

Not bad at all. We were looking for handbags but ended up with 12cm heel shoes - pretty gruesome…read moreversion of a Kurt Geiger best seller but very good value for £17 - for that price you could just wear them once and throw them away. Just for fun, we also bought a pack of nine pairs of earrings for £2. Cheap as chips. (Just as well, since they went straight into the dustbin when the wearer realised how itchy they were). Would you believe people shoplift this stuff? Some of the packs had earrings missing - incredible! The queues were long but plenty of staff serving behind the counter so you don't wait long. A good effort.

A lovely clothing shop in the North Chingford shopping area, near to Somerfield supermarket…read more This shop always has on-trend products in the window and once you're inside it doesn't disappoint. The clothes are fashionable and of a high quality. They are also very well priced. This shop often has sales and caters for all sizes as it is split in two with half the shop dedicated to larger ladies. They also offer a great range of handbags and other accessories. The staff are always friendly and the only downside is the shop is sometimes too small for all it's fans!

This is a nice big Wilkin store that has lots of departments…read more They sell food, home ware, toiletries, DIY and soft furnishings. There's also cards and stationery. The prices are very cheap. This shop gets really busy but there's lots of tills and staff to deal with it. It's in West Gate so there's a nice big car park attached, that's fairly cheap and is pay & display.

I love this shop for getting all of my toiletries and also kitchen wear. There are always good…read moredeals on the toiletries and the prices are very competitive with supermarkets. I have bought a lot of home ware from here such as prints for my living room, cushions and also bed spreads. The price is so cheap and I have never had any issues with the quality. What is even better now is that you can peruse all their stock on line and they deliver in store for you. This is located on the East Gate at Basildon and the car park is right next to it. Be warned it fills up quickly so try to avoid peak times on Saturdays.

If only I culd afford to always shop in Monsoon!…read more The shop is within the Eastgate shopping Centre and is fairly big compared to other Monsoon stores I've been to. As you expect, it can be rather expensive but you are paying for quality. If you're looking for something for a special occassion then this is the place to go. Or, if you're walking past and you see they've got a sale on don't walk by - it's worth popping in!

Both tube stations are quite a walk, so if you are going, i would recommend taking the bus. As this store is on a main road, there is no parking outside the store. You will have to park quite far away in a side road if you do come by car. This store sells purely designer clothes for men. I love this store as it seems like everything they sell is the best and newest designer items. There are alot of big department stores like selfridges who sell designer clothes, but club JJ sorts through all of the expensive rubbish that clogs up selfridges and only sells the best things. You can find some real bargains here aswell. I once picked up an Avirex T-shirt for £20, which i was chuffed about, and so was my brother who it was a gift for. When you go past, there is always the newest designer clothes in the window. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the shop is always clean and tidy. You will never find clothes on the floor like in some other cheaper stores. Pay for quality and thats what you will get.

However, parking may be aissue as not many parking spaces nearby as double yellow lines everywhere so best advised to travel by public transport.

It's my local and I can walk there in 20 minutes, making it perfect for a bit of "pauper's retail therapy". :D Primark isn' the place to go for *classics* that will last a decade or more, it's the place to go for BASICS: socks, thighs, fun knickers, vests, polo necks for layering and cute accessories to update a look. If you have children they're a good alternative for getting cute stuff that won't break the bank and you won't cry for discarding at the charity shop after a few weeks as kids grow so fast. One of my most frequent purchases there are thighs, as for the price they are THE BEST in town - trust me on that, 200 denier soft as silk for less than three quid? You can't possibly beat that. Second come the wet tissues, the "deep cleansing" ones are AMAZING for removing make up and cost only 50p a pack. Sometimes they have branded stuff going for peanuts; bough a TokiDoki pen case and a Paul Frank iPad case for 2 pounds each. Some shoes are surprisingly good and lasting for the price (you'll have to dig through a LOT of junk, though), but all the bags scream CHEAP - I'd give them a wide berth, along with the more "trendy" stuff that just looks like the poor man's version of what you'll find on higher end shops on the high street. Knowing what NOT to buy there is an art, and as soon as you get your wits about it Primark becomes a treasure. ;)
