John Lewis, Marylebone, London

This department store makes my shopping so much easier. They have great clothes and I usually find all the household items that I need.

I recently bought the medela pump in style maclaren pushchair from john lewis.

I had searched for this chair for a while and eventually found it discounted at John Lewis shop. The chair was fairly easy to use, and pretty quick to assemble.
I received good feedback from the sales assistant.

They seemed to hold these products in stock which was important for me as I was due pretty soon.

overall i am happy with John lewis price and service.

i guess i could have found this push chair cheaper elsewhere but i would rather feel, check the weight and drive it and ensure that it is confortable for my baby. Online shops might not be such a good idea for such an item although cheaper.

Overall John Lewis’s sales assistant seemed to be knowlegable.

Well what can I say, you feel like your in heaven when your in this shop.

John Lewis in Oxford Street used to have it all, from tumble driers to mini-skirts and vacuum cleaners to knitting needles. I don’t know what’s happened since the re-vamp of the Oxford Street store, but it just doesn’t seem as homely as it once was. I used to rely on the Oxford Street John Lewis to keep me in buttons and ironing board covers and storage bins and sensible winter tights, but something’s happened and they’ve slimmed down their ranges so that I too frequently find that I have to go elsewhere to find that boring but vital item that once upon a time John Lewis would have held in stock.

I know that there are bound to be economic reasons behind changing the stock ranges and allowing designer chef brands to take up more kitchen wares shelf space than sensible non-brand items that cost a fraction of the price and have greater probably longevity. Alas, I am a consumer, not an economist, and I feel that John Lewis may have sold part of their dependable reputation down the river in favour of being perceived to be trendy.

I don’t know if I’m alone in my views, but there are plenty of trendy department stores to choose from and I miss having good, old, sensibly-stocked John Lewis to rely upon. Having said that, I do like the new Food Hall and I still go to this store for my sheets; I just wish I didn’t then have to go elsewhere to find those boring items like belt buckles that don’t look as if they fell off Lady Gaga and handy little dry cleaning wipes and non-designer mixing bowls. Put it this way: we need fewer Hairy Bikers and Nigella bowls, and more of the Pyrex (currently out of stock) and John Lewis own brand options to keep the loyal old guard, like me, happy.

If you belong to John Lewis staff and end up reading this, please know that I do praise the partners, who provide excellent customer care, so I’m not having a go at you. I just think we’ve lost an important part of the old John Lewis and, somehow, we need to get it back. Keep the trendy new bits, by all means, but don't do so whilst neglecting all those important little products in sensible price ranges that gave John Lewis its reputation of reliability

I love John Lewis food hall, they store tons of French and Italian products and have a great range of food to go including very nice salads.

Perfect for new Londoners: this store is central and has a price-match policy, which means it's always a safe bet to buy there.

Has almost everything, from a food all to curtains to PCs to lamps etc.

Not really stylish but basics are perfects and most items are fairly decents. Some are really good, like China.

I went into the Food Hall at John Lewis (which is actually a Waitrose) to pick up some lunch and have to say, I was throughly impressed!

The food hall has EVERYTHING from freshly made salads and pastas, pre packaged sandwiches, fresh fruit to a an excellent wine section (complete with bar. The produce is moderately priced and far better value than dining at a restaurant for lunch!

I had a wonderful experience - even though it was lunchtime in Central London the aisles were not too crowded and there were upwards of 20 tills, all of which had staff behind them so although the queue looked long, I waited less than 2 minutes to pay for my food!

There were also cheese and ale tasters giving out fee nibbles - all of the staff seemed friendly and helpful.

The food hall itself was bright, ver clean and well laid out. I’m coming back tomorrow!

most of the things that i realy like here are out of my price range, but i still enjoy going there!

I first went to John Lewis in the early 2000’s, spending a hectic hour there scurrying round every department to buy my family’s Christmas presents in one go. It was a successful shopping trip but epitomised the awfulness of department stores for 1) making you lazy and not try other, smaller places for gifts 2) making you grab just anything off the shelf for Uncle Bob because you have to get him a present and it’s so convenient to get it all done at the same time and 3) the horror of other shoppers en masse.

Not being one for pricey clothes or posh perfume I haven’t found a reason to go back until very recently - twice. The first trip found me going in to accompany a friend who wanted to stock up on her favourite moisturiser. I mooched around the perfume/cosmetics section for a while being accosted by various ladies who wanted to discuss my skincare needs but refused to give me any samplers of the products they wanted me to buy.

Not particularly impressed by that experience, I nevertheless returned a week or so later to visit the habadashery department, much recommended to me by fellow crafters. What wonders would unfold I couldn’t imagine, though it all looked pretty great over the side of the shiny escalator as I travelled up there. A good selection of yarns, threads, kits and accessories met me, though the two specific things I was looking for - glittery applique shapes and a seam ripper that didn’t come with a whole load of other tools I don’t need - were sadly absent, and glancing around at price tags everything seemed a bit overpriced.

Boo.

Good shop with helpful staff. They have very good sails and there prices are always fair.

It is a huge store which sells anything you can think of. The prices arent too bad and they do have a very good sale. Most john lewis’s are very big, this one is particulary huge and they sell anything from perfumes to bedding. Its one of my favourite department stores, but can get extremely busy, particularly in the sales.

massive store, Just about everything is sold here, quite reasonable too for the location the cherry pie in the canteen is awesome!!

Great high street department store, with everything you could possibly need.

Excellent fashion lines, their own brand clothing is excellent quality and value for money, men and womens, great kids department, all the best cosmetic brands, haberdashery, sports, lighting, cookware, electrical etc. I do a lot of my christmas shopping here as everything is under one roof.

I still haven’t managed to have a look at the new food hall as I am always in a rush, but looking forward to it as I expect the same high standard there too.

Also, remember, they are never knowingly undersold!

A very comprehensive store with good stock and helpful staff.

The website is also a worthwhile place for ideas, information and stock levels.

Whatever you’re looking for go to John Lewis!!

There is a great range of furniture as well as household objects, cutlery etc. It can be quite pricey but the quality is excellent so quite worth it!

It’s easy to get around and overall good service.

If you are after a large electronic purchase like a TV, Fridge, Cooker then you should definatley visit JL, The prices are competitive and they might even match an online price. In addition they offer 5 years cover on many items. With great customer support, on-time delivery and taking away your old item you can’t get wrong here.

Firstly there’s the glove counter, how can anyone walk past long, black, satin, evening gloves and not want to try them on. If only I had the lifestyle to go with them.
My favourite department has always been haberdashery, unfortunately it’s shrunk in the last few years. Nevertheless they still have beads and ribbons and some beautiful wool. I can knit but I don’t, I just fantasise about the gorgeous garments I could make if I got my knitting needles out.
I like to look out for hostess trolleys when I’m wandering through Appliances, they always make me smile. When I was small I thought they were the height of sophistication and definately something I should have when I grow up, I don’t think that anymore.
Although I do buy things from John Lewis it’s mostly my shop of dreams.

Good store. Good range of products in a nuber of different departments and floors. Staff tend to be friendly and helpful.In a good location also

One stop department store for all your shopping needs. Convenietly located on Oxford Street, this department shopping store has a wide variety of product to choose from. I bought some electricals from John Lewis and find their sales assistant very friendly and helpful. The whole experience was good.

A nicely decorated department store on Oxford Street. Like most department stores, they source vrious type of products and sell in this huge store. They also have a food section where you could get all sorts of groceries. The store to be in if you can only afford the time to visit one store. Recommended.
