So popular, this branch recently doubled in size; TK Maxx is not a venue for the faint-hearted. Best to visit when your energy reserves are not flagging; patience and perseverance can often pay-off in the bargain hunting stakes.

There truly is something for everyone here; all are catered for. In clothing from tiny sizes to the most accommodating:men, women and children, top designer and throwaway fashion. Treasures and disasters. A shop of contrasts. If your timing is right you can snare a real winner. Current examples include Armando Pollini suede boots at just under £80 instead of £300; Diesel jeans for around £20. In the household department I once found a beautiful Limoges porcelain plate with real gold decoration for just 50p.

Not a place to come for optimum customer service; you can however explore at your leisure, although the crowded aisles can sometimes feel like an obstacle course. Come here when you have time on your hands and an open mind.
