This branch is pretty much par for the course for WH Smith. I can’t fault their extensive magazine collection although sometimes I’m overcome by the temptation to use it like a library and just stand there reading, I know I shouldn’t but I’ve never been told off for doing it. I’ve always found their book department to be deceptively well stocked, I often find titles that I expected to find in Waterstone but didn’t, it’s just a shame they don’t discount the books the way the supermarkets do. I have a weakness for pretty stationery so it’s fortunate that their pretty stationery is so expensive otherwise I’d have rooms full of it by now.

This branch may be good for Ealing, but it does not compare particularly favourably to other Smiths’s in the region and I simply cannot allow it to show with 5 stars! Having re-arranged the tills, the queueing system does work well but I have had to wait several minutes at peak times. Certain parts of the store can be a little cluttered, although this may be generic to the brand. Book prices are often not as aggressive as Waterstones, and always much more than the supermarkets.

A large tidy branch, that holds a lot of stock; they have quite a big selection of CDs and DVDs as well as stationary, diaries etc, although these don’t seem to vary very much year to year. They have a large section devoted to greeting cards and another for books and then an entire wall for magazines, I think you’d find most unusual/specialist titles in there. There are not many tills, but I’ve not ever have to queued for too long in there. They tend to have soem good things in the bargain bins around the shop as well.
