John Lewis is a fairly new thing to me. The fanciest department store that I had growing up in Swansea was Debenhams, but John Lewis really is a different league.

Loads of people have reviewed it so I won’t go on too much.

I recently discovered the food hall in John Lewis, which is actually Waitrose. I have never shopped in Waitrose because with it being ‘honestly priced’ I had been priced out. But I had a wander in here, and it’s amazing. It’s like M&S but they have other brand things as well. Obviously it’s a bit expensive, but the range of fancy foods is wonderful. They reduce sandwiches after a certain time, which makes them very reasonable. As long as you can wait that long.

Britain’s favourite store and much loved by middle england for its quality, friendly and helpful service. When I want something, I know that John Lewis’s will have exactly what I want without any hassles.

Recently re-modernised, it has lost some of its old fashioned englishness but its still a nice shopping experience.

Consistently top of the surveys for being the best department store in england, John Lewis has several nice coffee shops and restaurants and the fashion department improves with each visit.

John Lewis isn't just another department store on Oxford Street. If you only have the lunch-break to spend shopping in central London that's probably the only place you need to visit. They have everything, from top designer fashions and upholstery to crafts and stationery, and challenge you to find the same items at lower prices anywhere else. If you do, though, and can prove it, they will refund the difference! Their staff tend to be unusually polite and helpful too, which minimises shopping stress.

The newly refurbished store is getting better by the day.
A great shopping mall with everything under the sun and the price can be quite reasonable as well. They've just extended their opening hours till 8 pm..on weekdays.. so more chance to shop!

This John Lewis is really a joy. It is very easy to go to and everybody is really friendly and helpfull there. I love it there in particular, because after you did all your shopping to the floor with all the baby clothes. There is a café where you can get really nice snacks. Then try to get a table next to the windows.... there is a lovely little park you can look at and relax.

John Lewis stores are always a joy to go to. Their displays are always beautiful and elegant and they always have something new and unique to offer. I love browsing the Oxford Street store whenever I can even though I generally don't buy anything. Not because the products are not good but because I am a miser at heart and I know I can get most things cheaper elsewhere. The one section that has the power to tempt me though is the haberdashery section. In this age of readymade clothes, decorations and fast pace of life, very few people actually have craft-related hobbies. I am the only under-30 I know who enjoys embroidery! So I really appreciate the fact that this store in a prime location devotes such a large amount of space to craft-related items. They have a wide selection of fabrics, wools, craft kits, bits and pieces like needles, buttons etc. and a whole lot more. They even do demonstrations and have classes for people who want to learn.

And of course if you are not craft-inclined you can always go to the electronics section and admire what they claim (and I believe them!) is the world's largest plasma TV screen!

I love John Lewis' ground floor. It's very easy to get lost sampling and examining all the make up brands. They have a great Benefit concession, where I can spend all afternoon.

There aren't really any bargains to be found here around Christmas, but it's a darn sight cheaper than Harrods for a department store experience, and there's something for every member of the family.

My favourite sometimes hard to find brands they stock are:

Burt's Bees, Benefit and Mac.

This store has good service and a wide variety of things. It is a good place to check out before you buy household items and furniture. They have fantastic range of furniture. The furniture is good quality and they deliver it to you. Besides that you can get clothing for men, women and kids, accessories, other household stuff like pillows and lighting and gifts. Things in this store are not cheap but it is not too expensive either. The quality is good so I would pay a bit more for it. There is also warranty for electrical and household goods as well so it is worthwhile buying from here.

This particular Branch of John Lewis is possibly the easiest department store to find your way around. Everything is in perfect order according to its ergonomics and also clearly marked as to where to go. It is probably the best value out of all the major department stores as their own brands have some decent priced ranges that are also good quality. It tends to have an older persons feel to it as a pose to early 20's.

John Lewis is the best department store. They have all the products at good prices and the service is second to none. I always look there first before buying anything as I'd just rather buy it from them. You also get a good warranty (3 years on kitchen goods, 5 years on TVs) free.

I think that John Lewis store is really worthwhile looking into before buying any major house-hold items like furniture,dishwashers,fridges,freezers vacuum cleaners and even things like computers,plasma t.vs, hi-fis etc because of their pledge to refund the difference if you find whatever you have bought from them at a lower price anywhere else in the UK.

Also just to update you this particular site has a brand new food store opened in their basement on the 3rd of October. I have already visited it and they have an interesting range of culinary items for all tastes. As it is fairly new there is a lot of sampling going on to tempt people to buy from them. If shopping at the food section does not appeal to you then I suggest you try the several cafes they have- all of which have undergone considerable refurbishment and offer a huge variety of delectable dishes at very affordable prices.

The flagship store of the John Lewis chain, although less intimate and more crowded than Peter Jones, is nevertheless larger and has a wider range in many departments, especially menswear, lighting, gifts and furniture.

The quality of service is still as good, though, as is their promise to match the prices for equivalent items in other stores. This works especially well in electronics, as you can compare prices with the specialist stores in Tottenham Court Road. As with the rest of Oxford Street, try and avoid on Saturdays if you can...
