Peter Jones

Don’t bother using their bureau de change. They treat you like a criminal trying to rob them. Asked 20 questions to buy a small of Euros from a UK debit account. Very different experience than at M&S which is where I usually go. Worse yet they had a hard time figuring out how to clear my card from the keypad. Seems like they never have anyone exchange money.

Ein Klassiker, zu dem ich immer wieder gerne einkaufen gehe, vor allem in die Kochgeschirrabteilung! Ingesamt bietet John Lewis bzw Peter Jones (da ist kein Unterschied) stets gute Ware zu akzeptablen Preisen an. Also, wem Harrod’s z.B. zu teuer ist, sollte zu Peter Jones gehen — ist ja auch nicht weit.

Peter Jones est un grand magasin dans lequel vous trouverez tout, mais absolument tout, ce dont vous avez besoin!
Objets utiles et/​ou décoratifs pour maison, vêtements, cosmétiques, salon de thé, jeux pour enfants, mercerie…
Pour la plupart de la fameuse marque John Lewis, les produits sont de qualité et désignés dans l’ère du temps.
Par comparaison, nous pourrions situer cette enseigne entre le Printemps français et le Conran shop que ce soit dans le style ou les prix.
Les salariés sont serviables, les accès aux étages sont simples, l’ambiance est chaleureuse et coloré… Il y a de quoi passer quelques heures dans ce magasin sans s’en rendre compte!
Plutôt pratique par temps maussade!
En termes d’accessibilité, c’est simple, la station Sloane square se situe à proximité.

It’s all the price and quality of John Lewis, but with awful, terrible customer service.
I had to truck back downstairs and queue a second time because the idiot at the till couldn’t find in his computer the item that they hadn’t tagged, to it took me an extra 25 minutes to spend £2.75.
No, he couldn’t be bothered phoning downstairs or ring up someone down below to have a look at the shelf and find the fiddly upc number.
He didn’t even apologise.
Great selection — with, typically, prices to match — but I wouldn’t go back. I might order online in future.

Terrible costumer service, you are lucky to find one person standing in one departments, they are all running around, it took me 30m to find a person who can unlock the cabinet to get an Apple TV! Never again. The only good thing about it is you don’t spend much time at the Cashire as they are super fast and friendly

A welcome sight in returning to live in London was the lovely wall o’ yarns at Peter Jones. While the selection is slightly different/​smaller than its sibling John Lewis over on Oxford Street, the haberdashery section at PJ is actually a little easier to navigate and the staff are usually a touch calmer.
I love all aspects of this place from the haberdashery, to the crazy electronics section, to the lovely fashions and such. It’s just a great department store and a great place to do some «window shopping» even if you’re not planning on picking anything up.

Basically John Lewis but probably called Peter Jones as it’s in Sloane Square so prepare to bump shoulders with lots of Made in Chelsea /​Sloane Ranger wannabes and tourists.
I’d been here before years ago but never to the restaurant /​café at the top. My friend and I visited it today after an unsuccessful trip to the nearby Chelsea Physic Gardens (they were closed!) and we were starving and decided to grab a meal here. There was a good choice but typically of the venue and area, it was pricey. I chose the Cumberland Sausage and Mash with onions and gravy which was nice but nothing particularly special and it was 10 pounds so not worth that. I drank a Sicilian Lemonade which was really nice. My friend had a quiche which he enjoyed.
What is winning about the café, is the view which is really nice and due to the panoramic windows, affords a great one from many a seat, it’s great too as it’s a view that you don’t often see — one across West London. The café is a really good size too and the service is really friendly and polite.
When you visit here, try to have a look around the local area too — the Kings Road (not the touristy part, the swanky part!), Saatchi Gallery and the fabulous and huge Farmers Market next to it.
Located directly opposite the tube at Sloane Square, with the square inbetween and traffic lights and crossings on both sides.

Yep, it’s just like John Lewis. Exactly the same! I mean, down to the font and colour of the logo lettering. To me, this doesn’t mean so much. It’s still a lot of overpriced crap. They run out of things often – they were out of Christmas decorations a week before Christmas with no intent of stocking more. And the salespeople act like it was a toss up between a root canal or coming to work that morning.
The good news is you get to completely bypass the tourist insanity that is Oxford Street. The bad news: it still means I have to go to Sloane Square. Lame.

I know this place holds some kind of reverence for Sloaney wannabees and I’m-in-London-for-the-day-dahling scenesters, but in reality, it’s just a John Lewis isn’t it.
A huge one at that. So if you know what you want and you’re willing to pay John Lewis prices to get it, Peter Jones is ideal. Provided you live in the area that is. Otherwise you’d might as well go somewhere more local right?
It is well presented, and the staff are more than attentive — but that’s mostly because they too are as far up their own arses as the people who shop here regularly.
This place at Christmas? NIGHTMARE.

A Chelsea institution. This stylish small-​ish department store sells a little bit of everything. Their kitchen department is fabulous to find basics home items with a little bit of flair.

A very solid all in one department store. We’ve bought everything from electronics to housewares and have always been pleased with the prices and selection.

Ha ha AND HA! London laughs at all of you n00bs who haven’t yet figured the mystery of The John Lewis Partnership. The secret is… they’re all the same!
So if it’s Bainbridge’s in Newcastle, Robert Sayle in Cambridge or Peter Jones in Chelsea — it’s all just John Lewis. The man with a hundred aliases.
The beauty of this arrangement is that every shop retains a local charm and the associated stellar service and devoted clientele. So even though the stock is the same good old gear at good prices you can still get that Chelsea feeling at Peter Jones… with camp haberdashery staff and shopping for pillows and cheeseboards with celebrities.
Peter Jones is the great leveller. You can trick yourself into thinking you shop with the A-​list in a Chelsea dept store, but at the checkout you’ll be paying John Lewis price.

Peter? John? Lewis? Jones? For Unilocal’s sake, just pick a name and go with it. For now, you’re like an unhealthy mix between why I flunked «New Testament» class and bad flashbacks to sleepless university nights in Los Angeles… (I’m referring to my roommate… really… Balls.*)
Other than that, I love you. Marry me. I’ll happily be Miss Peter John Lewis Jones, even if my first three names can be used to describe an integral piece of male anatomy.
All of your shiny appliances, your speedy delivery options, your amazing organisation, your floors upon floors of useful household items from linens to washing machines, toasters to toilet plungers. You really do have it all. And you’re affordable.
Poorly poised puns aside, the Peter Jones John Lewis team of awesome names truly is an empty flat’s dream come true. You will find everything — absolutely everything you need. And it won’t break the bank. I promise. I tried.
p. s. I hope everyone enjoyed that I managed to slip the word «balls» into this Peter John Lewis Jones review. Very nice.

I love John Lewis in general and Peter Jones is no exception. The best bits: the fabric and upholstery section, especially the express service which will make up and deliver curtains in 7 days. The kitchen and homewares areas are excellent — good lighting selection. Less interesting: fashion — with the Kings Road outside, there’s not much incentive. Furniture is good quality but expensive. It may not be cutting edge, but it is reliable.

Peter Jones/​John Lewis dull? Well, perhaps. just a little, but it’s also reliable and well stocked. I’d take them over House of Fraser or Debenhams any day of the week.
It’s actually a department store that does what you’d hope and expect — it’s clean and well organised, you can buy most things you’d want and staff are all helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. You can buy most things you’d want in here — from clothes and shoes to sports stuff, suacepans, suitcases and knitting needles. So many department stores now are a sad collection of Top Shop concessions with a couple of makeup stands and not much else.
The café isn’t the most glamourous, but it’s nice and airy with great views and is great for refueling.

The great thing about Peter Jones is that it is classic and slightly boring. I think some of the other reviewers have got it wrong. This is not where you go for cutting edge, but rather for sharp knives, washing machines and light bulbs, not to mention spare buttons and all the little things which fashionable shops just don’t have.
Also, I find that their prices are very competitive. I don’t really like shopping, so what suits me here is that you can dash in with a list of various items and get the lot quickly and all under one roof. As far as I’m concerned, if all the shops in the Kings Road closed other than this, it would be disappointing: if this closed but the others remained open, it would be a disaster.

Sorry everyone else, but I happen to like Peter Jones. I think they have a great kitchen department in the basement, and I love walking through their little flower shop on my way in or out… the smells are wonderful!
I agree that the brasserie leaves a lot to be desired (horrible service, overpriced boring food, weird décor) and not every department is great, but it’s kind of a classic place in my opinion. Sloane Square would look weird without it.

Peter Jones is the department store embodiment of the somewhat cruel axiom that money can’t buy you taste. Premium brands, schemium brands, Rolf Harris is cooler than this department store and quite possibly more attractive.
Much like Fenwick, there’s nothing wrong with Peter Jones per se, it’s just lacking a little charisma, a little of the je né sais quoi evident in Selfridges, Liberty and even Harvey Nichols.
I have bought the odd gift from Peter Jones and taken advantage of the wrapping service at the top of the store. No, it’s not complementary but at least the service is available. A definite life-​saver on a number of ‘I forgot your birthday’ occasions, but about the only thing this tired department store is good for.

This is probably my least favourite department store in London, well I was expecting something a bit better for Sloan Square. We all known Peter Jones from his part in the Dragons Den, that show and its counterparts reasons I no longer care to have a TV. He may be rich and successful but his department store is very lacking in I don’t know what… quality I suppose. His fashion department is nothing more than high-​street brands, (not the good ones) and the Peter Jones label. I actually felt sorry for the staff because they just seem so bored, nobody there looks happy. The clothes are laid out on racks and just are not even inspiring enough to try on. There is nothing about the environment in Peter Jones that makes me want to buy, and I LOVE to shop. Peter Jones carries men’ women’s and children’s fashion and accessories, home electronics, bedroom, bathroom and kitchen merchandise. Don’t forget to check out the overpriced antiques.

John Lewis is the most boring shop in the world but Peter Jones is a slightly nicer, cleaner, snazzier version in Sloane Square, although it sells most of the same stuff at the same low prices. It’s especially good on homewares, worth popping over for your bedsheets and towels but it also sells nicer, more stylish bits and bobs. Clothes and shoes are pretty average and for the more middle-​aged market although perfectly fine.

Peter Jones isn’t really my kind of place but I know a good department store when I see one. On Sloane Square, Peter Jones is the usual everything anyone middle class could possibly need sort of shop. The layout is so simple and clear and all the floors are wrapped around the central atrium which when I went yesterday was decked out with totally tasteful Christmas decorations.
I was in around lunchtime and decided to check out the restaurant on the top floor — this is the self service one as opposed to the brassiere option on the second floor which caters for the more discerning and self-​service adverse. It’s like a really, really posh school canteen up there, good soups and sandwiches with a nice selection of drinks and red wine, which is useful for added Christmas shopping motivation and inspiration. You know what to expect from the John Lewis Partnership and this really is the best of the bunch.
