Debenhams

Although explained to me to be a little dated sometimes, I find Debenhams to be a great quality store rivaling that of Macy’s and other high-​end department stores in the USA.
I love that the women’s section has TopShop, Dorothy Perkins, Warehouse, River Island & etc so I don’t have to go running all over the mall to all the different shops dealing with all the different. I also find that if TopShop or the like is out of something I want, I can usually find it inside Debenhams! Its like my own little secret shopping hideaway.
My husband enjoys their mens section for the Levi’s, Jasper Conran and Ben Sherman. We had the toughest time finding a quality slim fit navy suit that he liked to dress him and 5 groomsmen for our wedding and Debenhams had the right one! It was by Ben Sherman and fit everyone well. They even got a discount for buying in bulk and the alterations were very reasonable as well.
I also highly recommend their fragrance area. I love the ability to have so many options at your finger tips and although they can get a bit overwhelming at times, the coffee beans are there to keep the lightheadedness at bay.
Parking is convenient if the market is not on as you can pull up right in front of the store. Otherwise, I think the closest place to park would be in the Brewery.
I highly recommend this store — It might not look like much from the outside but houses great quality brands and fantastic sales as well.

Debenhams has been around since 1778 with many changes making it what it is today and its good to see that its still surviving through thick and thin. Its one of those stores that doesn’t seem to have what you want until you start looking for it. The perfume section always reminds me of the Mr Bean sketch where he is overcome by the array of different perfumes being sprayed around and ends up crawling through the section. Its a good store and always worthy of a visit.
