Next

I used to like Next a lot and shop here quite a bit. I haven’t bought anything from there for ages. I think this is partly because I have veered towards the scruffier so I haven’t worn a shirt more than a handful of times this year (and they do nice shirts tooI’m sure the moths in my cupboard are loving all the quality time they are getting with them), but also partly because the quality of their knitwear has fallen significantly. That was the reason for my recent visit to this branch (it is starting to get cold!), but I left disappointed. Didn’t find anything I liked.
Of course this is a relatively small branch of next, but at the same time it is in a very busy part of town. If I am going to brave hordes of people It should at least be for a place with a few options.

Next is always worth a look. So when i found myself waiting at a freezing cold bus stop in Angel, Islington recently, it suddenly occurred to me that I could warm up and have a look at the sales in the nearby shopping centre.
Next is one of the first shops you encounter when you wander in off Upper Street. And it’s well worth investigating the sale racks if you’re looking for a bargain.
I tried a few things on that weren’t suitable, but struck gold when I found a plain black swimming costume. Perfect and just in time my old one is wearing thin and threatening to get embarrassing. Half price too. A happy shopping experience.
