“Great off licence, the gentleman behind the counter is always friendly, he makes time to chit chat whilst I pay and always says ‘God bless you’. It may only be a small interaction, but I always leave the shop feeling peaceful. I’m not from Bristol, I travel from Swansea for work, but this is my go to shop for whatever I may need. Five stars for this shop and the owner/staff. This isn’t your regular off licence!”

“An essential and regular destination for the keen purveyor of used books; in addition to the vinyl, CDs, audio books, DVDs, and video games on offer. It is quite a challenge to leave this shop empty-handed. Overall, a good range of stock and a pleasant atmosphere conducive to an extended browse make this one of the best charity shops in Bristol”

“Great for books, magazines, stationery, news and so on. Traditional store, been around for ages. This one in Kingswood also incorporates the post office which is very handy and you can do your banking here too.
This store has been here for as long as I can remember, probably since Kings Chase shopping centre was constructed”

“I'm pretty certain that there has been a WH Smith in this centre since it opened in the early 80s, although I think it used to be in a different place perhaps where Starbucks is now.Anyway, if you're after newspapers, magazines, other periodicals, art supplies, school supplies, stationery, cards or all manner of other paper and paper related products, this is really the best/only place in the high street. Luckily, whilst not especially cheap compared to what you could get online, Smiths has stock variety, availablity AND accessibility on its side. I used to be a bit naughty and read quite a few magazines without buying.... but nowadays I of course simply read stuff online.TldrIf you need stuff quickly and can't wait next day, this is always a good option.”

“I wanted to say that the works in Bristol staff are so amazing, always friendly and help out so much. I like my books nice and crispy new so if I have even the slightest issues with anything the work staff will fix it straight away. I can’t say how wonderful it is to walk into a store and see a staff member actually care and not show any judgement. Good job to the Bristol staff, will be visiting again”
