The works in general are a great place for books, stationery, and arts and crafts. I am an artist, hence I frequently shop here to stock up on the absolute essentials: fine liner pack, manga twin pack, and their canvases. I also buy stationery essentials like binder clips, sharpeners and more. My favourites are their variety of small canvases, particularly their 6x6 ? canvases and their 5x7 ? canvas boards; great to practice on. However, a year and a half ago, they changed their branding, resulting in a decrease in the quality of their art supplies and even some of their stationery, particularly their white paint, which is very glossy and translucent. But overall, their supplies are cheap yet effective.

Amina was top - sweetly and swiftly locating a well sought after packet of Glow in The Dark Stars. Searched everywhere in the area prior. Good price, good service, big smile!

Waited at the till for over 10 minutes, noone around to serve me, gave up, put items down and left. Terrible service/no service. Not a single worker in sight and noone maning tills.

The men working there / or own the shop is so rude. Even I was with my kids he said rude things to me only because I wanted buy files folders and he hasn't got a 5p bags only 1£ and I didn't want to buy the £1 bag. So I left but he shout in front of my, my kids and other costomers "get out of my shop" that how they treat costomers.. If I was working there and run out of 5p bags I would go to any shop and buy from them.. Shame
