T & G Allan

T & G Allen has closed this shop in March 2009. Shame.

T & G Allen Ltd at Whitley Bay is a place I have used on many occasions. Whether it’s stationary, new school stuff for the kids when they start the new term or a gift for one of my friends you can find so much here. There’s three floors and the upper sells lovely giftwear. The ground floor is stationary and a huge selection of greetings cards and gift wrap. Downstairs there are toy’s galore, my kids love down here and I am regularly dragged down stairs to the toys so they can have a rummage.
The staff are always friendly and the store is very central on Whitley Road so very easy to get to.

This place was my favourite shop to visit as a child. I loved the books and toys selection. My kids love to go now, and the basement is like an alladins cave of toys. This is a Whitley Bay institution, long may it thrive.

This shop is a local instution.
The basement has a wide range of childrens toys, the ground floor sells cards, wrapping paper, gifts and an extensive range of art materials and stationary (particularly good for childrens stationary). The first floor contains an extensive selection of books.
The staff are friendly and knowlegable.
